It is not like he was actually in competition with Cassel to have a chance beat him out. If so it would have been a neat trick since all they have done is go through OTAs.

Better off just saying if he is so good, why is he available ?

He has fewer wins than Weeden, that's saying something.

If thats the case, then give me the proven gladiator not the panty ace who can't win a game or beat out friggin Matt Cassel.

And I'm not going to apologize to you or anyone for sticking up for a girl, waitress or otherwise.

The law has already "stuck up for this girl", she doesn't need your vigilantism.

Not sure how familiar you are with this case, Mettenberger did not just grab the girls buttocks he also placed his hands all over her including her breasts. The girl was a waitress, yes, but not on duty that evening.

The act was so egregious that the bar staff threw him out and called police on him. The terms of the sentencing included a BAN from the city of Valdosta and he was kicked off the Georgia team. Doesn't sound like it was just simple teenage hijinks to me.

Mettenberger also failed drug test at combine, flagged for spinal condition and got his faced smashed in at local bar before he ever threw a pass for the Titans.

This is just another "bad" boy like Mr. Hardy. We don't want him and we don't need him. If he was actually smart enough to play QB in the
NFL he might get another chance but, alas he hasn't shown the ability to lead an NFL team. Pass!

I agree with you... If he was any good at all, he wouldn't be available at his low salary...

I'm not interested, but if the man grew up...no second chances?

Bill Clinton was a convicted sexual batterer who is available to play QB? Your analogy is ridiculous.

The actions of both men are comparable. Bill got away with it so you like him more?

Placing that phrase in quotes makes no sense unless you are an advocate of his actions or do not believe justice was done.

If so, I don't think we have anything further to discuss, just stay away from me and mine.

Well, after looking at the titans roster....they kept, obviously Mariota, but kept Cassel and Alex Tanney as their 3rd QB over Mettenberg...so what does this tell you?

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

No, he is a late round project QB that has been vastly overrated on this board. He was not a highly rewarded QB in this board until Dallas draft him and he is nothing compared to Wilson or Cam in ability. It is wishful thinking at best by a desperate fanbase. Dak is Tebow-lite. Reality has left the building when it comes to this board evaluating draft picks. Tapping breaks are not the answer. The brakes needs slammed to the floorboard. I am sorry, but I am blnot capable of letting my fandom override realty. Dak is a fine young man, but he is a typical late round pick. There are reasons that he was drafted that late in the draft.

I wasnt aware of the sexual battery, so that would be a legit reason not to bring him in. It was at least 6 or 7 yrs ago and sounds like a dumb jock mistake but apparently he learned from it since he hasnt had any further instances. As far as keeping Cassel over him, remember the current Titans Coach and coordinator have no ties to him so it isnt that big of a deal. With the talent there, the best QB in football would have had a hard time winning there.
