Gastineau Lives Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/9379/zach-mettenberger ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported on Sunday Countdown that the Titans are "content with Zach Mettenberger" and do not feel urgency to use a high draft pick on a quarterback. Mettenberger played reasonably well in his 2014 opportunities, but it's still a surprise whenever a team would feel "content" with a sixth-round quarterback. It is incredibly, incredibly rare that sixth-round quarterbacks become franchise signal callers. Mettenberger does possess some of the traits teams look for: Ideal size and arm strength, and composure in the pocket. SO YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S A CHANCE.

Jetlife33 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 As much as I hope it's true, I call bullsh*t on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSJ Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Some of the DL prospects in the draft are very, very good. Wouldn't be shocked if the QB's don't go in the top 3. Still early - but anything is possible at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I'm sure they're satisfied with him as the backup to Jay Cutler when they trade for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question; why is he(cutler) being linked to the Titans so much? Does he have ties there or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derp Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Agree it's probably a BS report but would be great. Them bringing in Cutler would be nice - he did play college ball in Nashville so that's the connection. And it's definitely really early to predict any draft stuff. Around this time last year everybody was on the Bridgewater train, he ended up going late first. Things are going to look a lot different in a few months when info from the real scouts comes out instead of predictions from armchair guys. Plus Senior Bowl, Combine, and Pro Days will make a little impact here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 of course you say that this way you make teams think you can either take a player or trade out, you are happy either way, so the price needs to be right to get the pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun to talk about - but still way too early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Yeah, all this report tells me is that Tennessee will be shopping their pick. The Jets need to trade whatever it takes to get Mariota. This will happen our new GM will want to make a splash that could be the franchise QB of the future here. Book it.

And trade into the top 3-5 to do so, which would have meant 3 #1 picks given our starting draft slot. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 As it turned out he could have had Manziel and didn't take him so at least he's not a total idiot.. Yes, but with each pick 5...6...7..10... "COME ON YOU IDZIOT TRADE UP!1!11!! AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!1!" Lol. Manziel may end up fine in the end. I just find it all kind of funny right now.

He doesn't have the dedication it takes to succeed IMO.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionelRichie Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 the older I get the more I realize that guys like Mortensen and Palantonio just make things up to be heard on ESPN. I believe that Glazer actually has sources but the rest of them may as well just be reading message boards for their info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 who was saying that about Manziel?!?! Don't remember offhand, but it was floated as something of a no-brainer in March-April. Then after we let him go at #18, that being the final nail in the coffin as to not being a Jets fan anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, The jets shot them selves in the foot. At #4 the jets could have traded up and Tenn would have been assured of Cooper, Williams or Gregory at #4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt they like Mettenberger because he did show potential, but a lot of his numbers came after falling down by a lot. Now, it is not all his fault, but it is partially. With as many holes as they have, I am sure they will listen to offers especially if they guy they want is not at 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
