Titans release Mettenberger

[Sydla]

Sure, why not?

 

[jazzcat22]

They made the mistake of sitting on the QB situation last year. Then had to make a trade. Seemed reasonable at the time, but turned out not so much.
I wouldn't mind bringing him in for some competition. If they choose not to bring him in, then I won't rue it either.

Moore should not be handed the backup role, he needs to earn it. I don't think Prescott should be thrown into the fire, if he is to be groomed to be successful. But then again, why not, see what he can do. Though prefer he sits a few years. Unless another QB drops in their laps in the next few drafts.
Showers is not the answer either.

So bring someone in, let Moore and Prescott show why they are here, and earn their roster spots.

To me, you have invested a 4th rd pick in Prescott, he is the developmental guy and number 3. You bring Mettenberger in to compete with Moore for #2.

 

[LocimusPrime]

We need to bring him in and while we are at it bring in Freeney too

 

[Iron_Man]

Any interest?

Brandon Boykin just got released by the panthers... Wasn't the cowboys considering him earlier this year?

 

[_sturt_]

Best case scenario, I think nearly all of us would agree, would be for Prescott to do a Russell Wilson imitation, and blow people away in TC. I actually see him competing with Moore for #2 simply b/c Moore is only ahead of a Prescott by virtue of his knowing the system like he does. So, to my mind, we already have Kellen Moore's competitor on the roster... no need to add another one.

to me, you bring him in to compete with everyone. you award 2, 3 and gone after the pre-season games and you get to see them play first.

 

[NEODOG]

You guys wanting him are seriously selling Dak short.....he's twice the QB

Fans were, Cowboys weren't.

 

[Idgit]

Mettenberger's an option, but he'd need to be the QB2 coming into the season. Not my favorite type of player, but I guess he's an option here before camp.

 

[LittleD]

The Titans are 5 and 27 the last two years...hard to pin that on just the QB.

He couldn't stick with our reject Matt Castle and now you want to bring him to our team?

Dak needs to sit a couple of years. He's got talent but he needs a lot of work. This guy has had two years in the league.

I don't think ZM competes with Dak. We're talking about this year's QB2.

 

[LittleD]

If he is better than Moore, that makes him an upgrade. The last time I checked, that is a good thing.

He couldn't beat out Matt Castle so what makes him worth our time and money?

He never actually got to compete with Cassell. This was a business decision to go with a more experienced vet at backup.

as much as i wanted to jump on this little nugget and wave it around in front of everyone, they're also 2 players at different stages in their career. boykin could still be "learning" so to speak and they don't want their starter AND backup doing that.

why people look at one move to define a picture baffles me.

 

[AbeBeta]

There is no reason NOT to put a claim in.

There is though. We just committed to developing Prescott. He needs snaps. We can't have another guy here taking that away.

Zach was a marginal college prospect. He did little in the pros to establish that he could play well at this level.

 

[BAT]

There is no reason NOT to put a claim in.

Cowboys could not take heat of a domestic abuser like Hardy but willing to take chance on a convicted sexual batterer, especially at the most publicly scrutinized position of QB?

Don't think so. Plus he does not fit Jones profile for the position, no mobility.

 

[MikeT22]

But I'd take Mettenberger over Moore as the vet backup. But I doubt we will look into him.

 

[BAT]

Started out at Georgia - was in effect dismissed after he was accused of sexual battery.

Plead guilty to sexual battery. A conviction, not just an accusation.
