    Never has such an irrelevant player gotten so much attention.

    As for PK's article, fans latch onto anything that gives them hope. Why would any fan of this team not cheer for any player who makes the roster against the odds?

    When Mett was drafted, I was on record here saying he'd be lucky to make the roster. But, once he got his shot, hoped he'd develop into a #1 because I want to see my team win. I thought he flashed enough in '14 that I didn't think Mariota would be a big enough upgrade to draft. There were too many other needs.

    All Mett needed was time, a full training camp as the #1, better blocking, a decent running game and someone to catch the football.

    I was wrong. Even though he still didn't have much around him last season, Mett regressed and was horrible. I don't know how much better protection and a running game would have mattered.

    I wish him well. He's got a big arm so will land somewhere in a backup role.

    Playing devil's advocate here, but fans on this board also caped up for Antonio Andrews this offseason. Does he give anyone real hope?

    I think PK missed the mark a bit here, but I also do think there's a real phenomenon of Titans fans forgetting what good football players actually look like and being too willing to invest their energy as fans into C- players who look good next to D and F players.

    "..... there could be multiple teams interested in him, but none were willing to part with even a seventh-round pick for him"

    FACT

    Now persuade us why nobody wants him at that price. Its a slow Tuesday anyway. Remember, to persuade you should not insult. Try an intro, hook, thesis, 3 arguments and then a strong closing statement.

    Cowboys aren't putting a waiver claim in for him apparently ... so much for that as a landing spot

    It's called blind hope. It happens with every losing team who has a fanbase.

    In turn, most fans are overly critical of first round draft picks. Though the Titans have botched most early picks in recent memory, I think many fans think any first round pick is going to have the impact Kearse did in '99.

    You didnt watch much of Mariota in college huh...

    The two are night and day with ball placement...

    And for a QB thats everything.

    The only thing Mett did right was suck so bad that it allowed us a shot at a real QB #2 overall last year..
