The Titans are about to become cool

[OregonDucks]

Yes but tampa sees the local dollar signs with taking Winston.

 

[Reaper]

What makes you think Tampa Bay who does not have a QB either will pass on Mariota?

 

[Ojb81]

I have never like Tennessees uniforms. Since day one when they debuted I thought they needed an entire overhaul on their image.

Now....now Mariota is coming to town and he will make those unis look sweet. Those once hideous helmets will become cool. I may just have to pick myself up one.

Watch out nfl...Mariota and the Titans are about to take over this league.

Quitchyer nuthuggin.

I doubt Titans take Mariota but I can see him getting them to 4-12, maybe 5-11 crack is whack

 

[Ojb81]

I also agree that mariota is better than Griffen. A lot more accuracy, better decision making and possibly worth it. I still think anyone that drafts winston ahead of him is making a huge mistake

I hope you base that opinion strictly on the off-field antics of Winston. Because as far as on-field abilities are concerned, Winston is FAR more pro-ready than Mariota. Winston's gonna have the better pro career if he can grow up and quit doin' stupid shit

 

[HammerDown]

Mariota is a major upgrade from locker

Not in the NFL he isn't. Not for Jake Locker or Zach Mettenberger.

The Titans uniforms are second only in cool factor to the Chargers power blues.

Have to admit, when OD's trolling is well-done, I miss it.

they deserve each other.

This.

And it's not even close.

Mariota will either go way too early because someone panics and didn't think it through or Chip Kelly or Daniel Snyder are willing to bet the house on this guy. Tampa Bay can't afford such a risk and will go with Jameis. The Titans will either get Randy Gregory or trade down. There is zero talk here about Mariota. That bubble was brief and burst long ago. I don't know any teams that are clamoring for him, especially after the Sorryota debacle.

 

[sonnyblack65]

Mariota is a major upgrade from Peyton

This season I would have to agree right Hammer?

 

[Fountain City Blues]

What makes you think Tampa Bay who does not have a QB either will pass on Mariota?

If the evals on Mariota and Winston are poor, it's very possible TB drafts Leonard Williams because of BPA. It's not even a consensus Mariota is the better pro prospect than Jameis, either. What I have generally seen more than not is that it is a pretty crappy QB class. No point drafting a QB #1 if it sucks like EJ Manuel and Geno Smith in 2012.

I would pump the brakes on Mariota a little bit. He didn't exactly light up Ohio State last game.

And look at the last QB Heisman winners going back to 1990:
Mariota
Winston
Manziel
RG3
Cam Newton
Sam Bradford
Tim Tebow
Troy Smith
Matt Leinart
Jason White
Carson Palmer
Eric Crouch
Chris Wenke
Danny Wuerffel
Charlie Ward
Gino Torretta
Ty Detmer

That is a long, historied list of meh

 

[SJ76]

Hell I would take Locker on the Rams in a heartbeat.

 

[SJ76]

My only hope I that Jameis gets some king crab legs at Cosco and drops to #10 for the Rams.


Those king crab legs at Cosco are fucking cash money.

 

[OregonDucks]

Tampa takes Winston because he is the local guy and they want to sell tickets because of him.

Leaving Mariota at #2 and unless the titans make a deal with Philly, the tight Hawaiian becomes a Titan.

IMO tAking winston over mariota would be a mistake

 

[Fountain City Blues]

I honestly don't see why the Titans wouldn't go BPA here and draft Leonard Williams (provided the Bucs don't select him) given Mettenberger didn't look half bad out there.

Palmer wasn't meh he was on top of the game until a late hit by the steelers in the playoffs. Other than that yeah not a great list

Why? Because the goal of an nfl franchise is to win. Mariota provides that

If big cat is still on the board I don't see him getting past Oakland

If Mettenberger does the same thing, is Mariota worth it? Wouldn't be a shock to see Winston or Mariota to the Titans, but it's a pretty defensible position to go another year and see what they (the Titans) have in Mettenberger.
