Titans should trade Mettenberger to the Browns. They could probably get a good player straight up or a 3rd round pick at least. Mariota will probably have a ruff first year. If he can survive that, I'm sure it will be much better year two and he'll be just fine from then on.This was one of the Main reasons i didn't want him. Especially what we did to Mark & Geno and forcing the his development process. I would have loved him here, but the pressure would be insurmountable to start him, especially with Geno not being the answer.
This is why i was lobbying for Petty (in the 2nd, i know i know ie in face), because the coaching staff will have the luxury of helping him grow and develop into the true potential he truly has. In essence, this new regime has learned from the previous one on how not to groom a QB.
The best thing for Marcus, it will be under the lights of Tennessee not new york city. I honestly feel Whisenhunt should have bit his tongue because at this moment, he just ruffles another young current QB on that teams confidence in Mettenberger, who may now truly ask for a trade, amid his agent denying reports.
Whisenhunt is making the same mistake so many other teams make with a raw, but talented QB. Throwing him into the fire right away. I believe this is a huge mistake. It could potentially ruin the kid. He needs time getting his mind away from the gimmick and more towards NFL-style offense. The Jets are being smart. Groom Petty for a year or two. He's a product of "gimmick", too. College football video game offense. These kids need work. Let them learn.
I actually don't think that's a bad idea.
Start him right away and see how well he does. It sounds crazy. but I'm not ruling out Tennessee still trading him to Philly if things don't work out
Was announced by Wisenhunt. Hope they don't mess up this kid's development. Almost everyone agreed that he's not NFL ready.
