Is Zach Mettenberger the future?

Last Sunday was horrible to watch, but as educated fans, let's not freak out and abandon everything Mett has done to this point. I wanted Mett to play through they injury. He showed toughness and genuine care for our franchise. That speaks volumes about his character as a guy who knew he would get hit a lot. With Hunter, Wright, Oher, Lewan, and Stingly out, what could we expect from him? Is it realistic for us to think that Mett would come in as a rookie playing with Hagan, Durham, and a decimated O-line to hang 40 points in a win? No.

I have to blame Whiz on this one. I know he wanted to open up the playbook to see how Mett could handle his offense but at some point you have to pack it in and play to live another day. The defining moment in the game was when Mett got blasted, got up slowly, looked over at Whiz and gave him a grimacing thumbs up. Mett continued to play through a tough shoulder injury. I love it! That is Brett Favre type stuff. Now Whiz needs to understand that Mett is giving himself up to try and make something happen, and adjust the game plan so he doesn't hurt himself.

It is not time for Whiz to get fired but he needs to learn from this. I only say this because I have seen team hit rock bottom and then be playoff contenders. Usually we are always around .500. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise. We will have a lot of flexibility in the off-season to draft a ton of players to fill our holes, especially on defense.

We are not in contention for the playoffs so when Mett took a shot dial down the offense and play for next week. Whiz believed in Mett and kept trying to go deep. I understand Whiz and his philosophy but at this point in the season put your ego aside.

Now I keep reading all of our fans' comments all over the internet and the jury is split. Half have given up on Mett and half want to see him with a decent O-line. What do you think?

It only makes sense to give Mett another shot, in my opinion. He showed a lot of promise, poise, and toughness literally playing in a horrible situation all year. It is not fair to evaluate him based on the lack of production around him. We struggled as an entire team the entire year minus the KC and PIT games. 

For as bad as the Giant - Titan game was Mett's performance against the Steelers makes up for it! He played well, made plays and overcame the worst start to your Monday Night Football debut. That is the Mett we will get with a good o-line and he will only improve with an entire off-season of work.

Also, drafting a rookie QB will just lead to another year of growing pains and such. Mett is on our team and we have so many other problems that why not give Mett an entire year. If he is absolute garbage then we can draft someone. There is no rush. Patience is the key with the Mett Show. He has all of the tools and he has toughness. He is perfect for Nashville. Give him the chance to be "the guy" and not just a rookie trying to get the job.

The Titans would benefit by giving Mett another year and trading their top pick much like the Rams did with the Redskins. The Rams gave their QB another chance and went out and built a defense. Now everyone is saying they are a QB away from a great team. But they built a dominate defense. I personally think Mett is better than Shaun Hill. If we can build a defense and let Mett develop then I would say our team will be much better.

Trade our pick, move down, draft Amari Cooper and then with the remaining draft choices address the entire defense and some pieces on the offensive line.

Then we will get to see a young QB with a bunch of weapons and hopefully some time to throw. Then every one will be on the Mett Show bandwagon.
