Titans release Mettenberger

[Fla Cowpoke]

Jets should be all over this

We have priority...only Sd and Cle can take him ahead of us.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Yeah, I would take Austin Davis if I had the choice.

But we dont.....it makes no sense not to put in a claim if he gets past the first two teams.

I agree. It doesn't hurt to take a look. He's only a $600K 3rd year player. Could be released at any time if they don't like. Broaddus tweeted they had a 7th round grade on him.

 

[CATCH17]

Why do you keep saying this?

Orton and Kitna had success in this offense, and they hardly extended plays

They didn't have success.. Kitna did ok but he threw a ton of picks.

Also, there are more years of Dallas Cowboys tendencies for teams to look at and it resulted in a 1-11 record just last season with QBs outside of Moore who have shown they can win in this league.

We need a QB that extends plays and doesn't have to rely on throwing completions to covered receivers over and over.

 

[iceberg]

Would take him as a camp arm at worst.

I imagine he might want to go to a team that he thinks he might have a chance at starter...even if that is unrealistic.

likely. i just don't know if i see a huge need to make an "incremental" difference in our backup play. moore has time and experience with the playbook and if they'd be about a tossup - i don't see the point in changing to make people think you did something that was a notable improvement in the end.

 

[Stash]

But we should be 4th on that list and really 3rd. Tennessee obviously doesn't want him so that really leaves Cleveland and San Diego.

Which I think essentially leaves just San Diego. Cleveland has several QB candidates already.

 

[Dodger12]

Bring him in. If there's one guy can resurect this guy's career, it's Wade Wilson........

 

[speedkilz88]

any chance we looking hard at mettenburger? If I'm not mistaken we were interested during draft

 

[Stash]

Cleveland will claim him. Actually, maybe they won't, because it actually makes sense, and they are the highest on the waiver wire.

Check out how many QB's they have already. I don't see them claiming him.

If anything else, make Moore earn the job. I don't really like the idea of handing him the job. Competition will make him better.

We're higher in the waiver claim.

 

[Supercowboy1986]

It's not that surprising when you remember they drafted mariotta which is a better qb now and most likely in the future.

I liked mettey B going into the draft. However I do not think its a reach for him to compete (and maybe win?) the QB2 here.

 

[Alexander]

The roster is set.

Good reply to that Tweet, Whisenhunt is in SD and he drafted him when he was with the Titans.

 

[JoeKing]

Linehan has not chilled the Joneses on acquiring a veteran QB for backup duty. I think they look into getting this guy. He may not come to the team for other reasons, but this at least gets explored by the scouts.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Yep per Fish so we know it's true.

for the money and given our needs, i don't see why they wouldn't take a shot with the kid. would suck to lose (2) draft picks to the first and 2nd pick and now a potential backup to the 3rd overall pick.

Ahhh the QB whisperer.....

 

[Daillest88]

Hurt to bring him in

 

[_sturt_]

On closer examination, I think I was doped up on Mettenberger's highlight reel... I'm "meh" on him now... not seeing he's that much, if any, better an option than Moore. I'd rather hold out and see if McCown or Foles are achievable.
