Titans Talk - Home for all things Tennessee Titans

The best thing about Locker’s career was him definitively being a bust. No one tried to defend him. He just disappeared.

I sometimes forget who the QB was between Young and Mariota.

Except for the handful of people who didn’t want us to land Peyton Manning because he would stunt the growth of Locker as Titans QB.

Seeing how ex-teammates speak of mm8 I'd say that indicates the opposite. But either way dolphins should rough him up

Not taking a side but you can be a bad leader and still well liked. For example Hitler(at the time)

This hilarious. You know what's really funny? Spending 3 first round picks in 10 years trying to draft a franchise quarterback, only to find that none of them worked out. Like him or hate him, credit to JR for getting Tannehill when he did, and credit Vrabel for making the switch when he did.

If Malarkey said that about MM then he's right- he's partially responsible for MM being gun-shy of injury, since he was here while Whissenhunt let him get destroyed in the backfield. The kid was a Heisman trophy winner. Instead of doing what the Ravens have done for Jackson, they tried to make MM into a pocket passer. If that was their intentions then they drafted the wrong guy.

No matter. Its water under the bridge. MM seems to be a good guy, and if he finds success with the Raiders, congrats. Right now we have a championship level offense with a mediocre at best defense. It would sure be nice to have a high draft pick pass rusher in his 6th year and in his prime. To have 10 wins and so few sacks is testimony to how good the Titans offense is.

It's a good strategy too.
KC had a ton of success (only short of a SB) by drafting a first round QB in 18' with Mahomes and the previous pick, 1983, Todd Blackledge.
Their real success came off the back of SF QBs (Deberg, Montana, Bono, Grbac, Alex Smith)

When was the last time KC had a "rebuild" status or was top 10 (without trading up) in the draft? Maybe twice in the 30+ years between 1st round QB selections.

Carr With the start this week


Makes it easier to cheer for the raiders to win, and much more likely

How? Carr isnt great anyway. Now he isn’t 100% and probably can’t run. Advantage Miami

Mularkey projecting pretty badly here. You hate to see it.

How about 3 years in a row from 2008-2010?(Glenn Dorsey, Tyson Jackson, Eric Berry)

Then #1 pick in 2013. (Eric Fisher)

4 times in the last 12 years.

Well, I was mistaken about the # of top 10 picks in the last 30 years, but still right on the strategy. Too often teams try to throw QB's at dumpster fires and it fails miserably.
Chiefs did not, built a pretty good team around Alex Smith, then just upgraded QB (a lot) in Mahomes.

I always support Marcus but his demeanor is a bit off to be an elite starter in my opinion. I do think he is the ultimate back up qb . Great teammate , super athletic, clutch gene which helps provide an incredible spark . I wish him all the success. Screw Mularkey .

It’s never a good look when you get fired and then start blaming everyone else. Basically, Marcus got fired and conducted himself with dignity. Mularkey got fired and shifts blame around. Both of these guys did some good thinks for the Titans, but at the end of the day, it was time for both to move on.

MM8 was too nice and too injury prone. Likeable guy but didn’t have that dog in him or any swag. He was too aloof like Jay Cutler.

Locker had the talent to be an elite QB, problem was he didn’t love football.

When the injuries start stacking up it has a tendency to sap the love of the game real quick. Ask Luck, Kuechly, etc, etc.

He had the physical talent, he wasn’t very bright. That was a big problem.
