Totally agree on the difference between college and NFL. If the Titans would have had the 10th pick or later, I agree he'd been a good pick up. In reality the Titans had the 3rd pick in the draft and Cutler couldnt guide a team to even .500. A pick like that isnt for taking a flyer. They did that with PacMan and look what happened there. Pick him at 3 and he bust, you have a toooon more problems on your hand.

Its easy to hindsight on how players do. Its difficult to predict how they will actually do. But that's why admin at NFL teams are professionals and not armchair QBs like us.

I just know that Fisher wanted him and Bud wanted another Warren Moon. We got neither.

Lol....Cutler played at Vandy. He has a winning record as an NFL QB.

Sub .500 at Vandy <<< above .500 in NFL

And iirc Norm Chow wanted Leinart. Imo Leinart or Cutler would have worked fine. Yes I think Leinart coming to play for Fisher and Chow in Nashville would have worked well. Same with Cutler.

I didn't care for Lienart's slow wind up. Ended up getting him killed in a few games. Hard to say how he would have done here. A lot of times it's just as much the system you go into than what you bring to the table. Has to fit one another i guess.

Yep. And who's to say that even if we had got Lein or Cut we wouldnt have had the same outcome as VY. Since McNair the Titans havent had a good history of developing qbs.

Yeah, I hear ya. But his success in college was in the exact system he would have been in for Tennessee.

A lot VY's problems were mental. Maybe a good coach could have helped. When he decided he was going to be a pocket passer, instead of a scrambler/ pocket passer is when the trouble started. He was what he was. He should have never tried to alter it.

I'd say that's why Norm wanted him. Our Oline would have had to protect him. It's funny. It seems no matter where Peyton manning goes, his oline makes sure no one gets to him. We didn't even get his Jersey dirty yesterday. If we had i'm sure it would have been flagged. This league has been tailored around the Manning's and Brady's anymore. It's all about offense and handcuffing the defenses anymore.

I thought Fisher AND Chow wanted Lienart. Cutler was always on the outside looking in.

At the time I remember thinking Cutler did more with less, Lienart was overrated due to his supporting cast, and VY wasn't smart enough to read NFL defenses. Cutler ended up being the best of that overrated QB class. That's not saying a whole lot though.

Lol, I know. Probably make a new rule to go along with the "Brady Rule".

I know they would have took Cutler also. At the time i think they didn't see much difference between Cutler and Leinart.

So with the 3rd pick in the 2006 draft and with no other QBs taken yet, the Titans should have passed on not only a QB who just led his team to a NC but also a Heisman winning QB who too led his team to a NC in favor of a qb who in his college career couldnt get his team over .500. Wow. Just wow.

While you're at it Mr Hindsight, could you give me a list of cities I shouldnt have been in on September 11, 2001?

I'm late to the party but neither Chow nor Fisher wanted Young. Accounts I've heard was Chow was almost literally jumping on the table angry about even considering Young.

And come on, you're comparing Texas and Vanderbilt? That's seriously not fair.

I had always heard Fisher wanted Leinart, and Chow was good with either Cutler or Leinart, but neither wanted Young at all; Chow especially.

Titans may or may not want Cutler, but Denver fans sound like complete butthurt losers. Dude was coming off a pro bowl season and wonderboy Josh McDaniel tried to trade him. Once wonderboy's trade attempt for Matt Cassell didn't fly, he tried to act like Cutler was his guy all along, smh. And for some reason the dumbass Denver fans either can't see, or won't admit that they screwed the pooch. You essentially traded Jay Cutler for Tim Teblow in the end. That's not good, I don't care how you wanna slice it.

LMAO

No, "in the end" we essentially traded Tebow for Peyton Manning. That IS good. I don't care how you wanna slice it.

And they certainly made more money, as
a franchise, with Tebow than they did with Jay Cutler.

Slice that.

Jay Cutler is the type of guy that will do just enough to get your team to the playoffs and lead to optimistic expecations. He's also the same type of guy that will leave you heartbroken once the playoffs start. I consider him to be better than your average NFL quarterback, but not even close to being considered a good quarterback.

Yeah well there is a shortage of good QB's these days. I'd rather roll with Cutler than 3/4ths of the league..

As much as I hate to say it...McCarron would be a good QB for the Titans.

How would that strike the fans?

For the last time. McCarron will not, nor ever be, a long-term starter in this league. He will be a career back-up which is nothing to be ashamed about.

Jay Cutler NFL Football Statistics - Pro-Football-Reference.com

>Career record of 55-46
>Loser

Pick one.


What other options does Tennessee have at QB?

Locker has been sporadic at best, and has suffered 3 significant injures in 2 seasons.

Fitztragic is a cocktease.

no good Free Agents other than ****ler

Who we gonna draft? We're 0-2 in the first round with QBs in the last decade.

Meanwhile, Cutler is solid. 149 TDs to only 108 picks. You guys honestly think we have better options in Locker, Fitz, free agency, or the draft?

This site gives me AIDS with all the dumbasses on here. f*** it.

My plan?

Sign Cutler
Dangle a Locker trade to a QB needy team, if no one bites just cut him.
Draft one of: A.J. McCarron, Jimmy Garoppolo, Zach Mettenberger, David Fales, or Jeff Matthews to be the next long-term back-up behind Cutler.

Only question what would we do with Fitz? Cut him or keep him on as back-up for another year?

I don't know. McCarron has played well these last two years. Not sure you couldn't have just plugged someone else in there and played just as well. Saban has a system. His QB's usually aren't asked to do a whole lot more than make smart decisions with the football.

Fitz would be worth keeping as a back up.

Like I said, he'll be a good back-up but he isn't starter quality at all.

Something about this years draft class just doesn't do it for me. I wouldn't be confident spending a high pick on any of them. I'm sure a couple will turn out alright, but it seems more like a gamble.

Murrary might be a steal in the middle rounds.. I could see him being a poor man's Matthew Stafford. I like Brett Hundley out of UCLA.. seems like Locker, but with the ability to stay healthy. Hundley passes the eye test more than anyone, cept maybe Bridgewater.
