    I was one who wanted to trade and get more picks/players...that being said, if Mariota can play "McNair like" I will take it all day long. It has been a long, long time since this franchise had a QB that you "knew" could make the big play to win....whatever it took.

    They def. picked the cream of the crop.......... obviously they threw in Russell Wilson to attempt to make a legitimate argument.

    Give Mariota a break guys. Seems like all the media and anti-Mariota (pro-Mett) tries to find the smallest thing and exploit it about Mariota. Why in the hell would someone write an article about "it's a problem that he doesn't have any red flags coming from college" type of crap.

    He's gonna have some bumps in the road (on the field), but in the long run he's going to be a winner for this franchise. He's one of the only people we've drafted that has his head on straight in a while. Get behind this guy. We got him for the long run.....hopefully

    Sorry to rant, but ready for some Titans football!!

    Wilson has a lot more talent around him which, no doubt, impacts his success. Mariota won't have that luxury anytime soon.

    If Mariota has a rookie season like Cam's, I take it all day long.

    The rest of the QBs on that list are flawed by injuries or between the ears.

    Can you find an article on the history of QBs that start their career 0-6?

    I don't believe drafting mariota was a ownership pick but a FO pick because the fact that.
    1. Mett has yet to prove himself.
    2. Titans doesn't have an established run game which is needed for metts gameplay style, where as mariota can help that with his legs.
    3. OL play was horrid with a stand still but slightly moving qb which again mariota can help with by getting out of the pocket.
    4. Titans would need to draft way to meany pieces to support metts skill set when honestly they don't have time for another 2 - 3 more drafts to find out if mett truly is there guy and maybe waste that time.
    5. FO see's the same arm talent in mariota as they do mett only diff is mariota is way more athletic and accurate (could change in TC but well see).
    6. Starting Mett with his injury history and CBJ 2nd string would be a bad scenario anyway you look at it.
    7. Last season titans only avg 15 points a game 30th in the nfl and only 303 yards avg a game 29th in nfl. ( needed to change something that will cause an impact )

    Now only time will tell if it was the right choice.

    They had to take Mariota for MANY reasons....You don't base your immediate future around a 6th round QB with an injury history that goes 0-6, with only CBJ in the cupboard. This was common sense. I am hoping Mariota pans out, and I think he will. Leanord Williams wasn't changing this franchise direction, the fan base/marketing, and future AT ALL. Kaep and Locker had accuracy issues from the start...Manziel and Tebow were not NFL ready even then...This is ridiculousness.

    Plus they had mett in camp and through the year and he started 6 games. They knew what they had in mett. And they drafted mariota. The other thing. If mett is/was so good, why is mariota the starter from after being drafted? This was not an ownership pick. Mariota was the right pick.

    And yes the city of Nashville and all Titans fans are excited right now. But face it , winning brings in fans. All of us want our team to be winner, especially after last year. Losing causes coaches, GM's, etc to lose jobs. But you guys going to camp can judge for yourself watching MM up close and can draw your on conclusions if he was the right pick.
