Umm where have you been the past 15 years? You must be a new fan. And the Titans are yet to play a backup QB this year hence my response!
Molden only played 9 snaps too, after playing over 50% in week 1.
I agree re Bud and Honor, that strategy makes sense against mobile QBs like Kyler and Russ. Be interesting to see if we switch it up moving forward.
You ever see the Oilers play in the Dome? I have. That should give you some indication of how long I’ve been a fan. All matter of QBs have torched the Titans at some point or another. But I don’t think you would be able to provide proof that backups torch this team or any variation of this current team.
So you’ve seen the lineup of backup QBs that have taken the titans to the woodshed.
It’s a weird feature of the titans fan dome, accepting that we are not better off when a starting QB goes down.
Add Kizer (even in loss), manziel and the browns collectively have done a pretty good job.
ryanleaf beat Tennessee for cryin' out loud... dude had like 3 Ws in nfl
I really didn’t like the non-safety call. They didn’t blow the whistle for “in the grasp” at the 1. It was like they watched what happened, knew it should have been safety but said, we’re in Seattle, better put them arbitrarily at the 1 which I’m not even sure that’s where he was IF they were to call in the grasp.
I get the Julio TD catch per the rule, just think if his toes touched first, that’s 2 feet in.
Had to look it up, but 4 W.
he started red hot at 2-0 over Buffalo and the Tennessee oilers.
What about Craig Krenzel…think that was the worst I can remember.
I just disagree. It’s something the fans have made a thing out of because you think losing to a backup is some huge negative. Some of y’all make more out of it. It I wonder how many backups have beaten bad football teams, which this Titans team is not. That is my point. A lot of QBs beat our 2-14 teams.
But there should be no argument that we would rather face Eason than Wentz.

worst one I remember... phonies were sucking4luck... locked down 1st overall week before that game IIRC...
yep 0-13 phonies behind don brown & orvlosky beat Titans by 2 TDs... Fing pathetic

FYI. Titans beat Cody Kessler 30-9. 58% completions, 43 attempts for 240 yards .. wouldn’t call that torched. But maybe you do.
Titans beat Kessler all 3 times he played them.

That was the game. Couldn’t remember who their QB was that day, but that is among the most embarrassing losses for this franchise.
0-13 ponies with orlovsky ended a potential playoff season.
I appreciate the sentiment and maybe you have a point for recent history at least, but you did give me a small project. I’m going to go through the last 21 years and find all the backup QB games, our record, and any context that game may have held.
It very well could be a poker memory, we remember the bad beats but often forget some of the big wins.
Titans had Hasselbeck at QB and were 7-7 at that point. Not a very good team. Dan Orlovsky went for 11-17 for 82 yards passing that day, DAMN what a torching.
It was a game the Titans shouldn’t have lost but it wasn’t the “ backup” QB torching us that did it.
Leaf was 13 of 24 that day for a awesome 179 yards and no TDs and the Titans lost 13-7. Leaf was the starter, not a backup.
take those Ls easy do you???
