The #Titans are moving on. Source says they plan to start Zach Mettenberger (as @jwyattsports said). He took increased 1st team snaps today

10:54pm - 22 Oct 14

Only two of the entire draft class are starters in the NFL, Newton and Kaepernick.

Edit:And Dalton, so three

4 quarterbacks taken within the top 15 picks.

 

Newton

Locker

Gabbert

Ponder

 

It's almost unbelievable to think back at just how much the press built up Gabbert. The guy was basically hot garbage in college.

 

It's because Gabbert had/ has all the physical measurables. Though on film he didn't look pro ready.  There's a big difference between running an uptempo spread in college, and trying to beat an exotic blitz against an NFL 3-4 that's playing a man-zone combination.  Not only that.....he got drafted by Jacksonville.

 

That said....even though Gabbert has been a bust up to this point,  I think he might have a little bit of a renaissance after a little time in San Fran.  He looked good when he came in for Kaepernick in garbage time.  Couple years with the 49ers as a backup and he might actually end up developing.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
