If not for his knee in college he would have been a much higher pick, can still turn into that type of QB. He had a few other problems when they were finally done analyzing the shit out of him, but from a pure talent perspective he has 1st round capabilities. Thanks for bringing up a good point.....because so many just look at him as the sixth round QB from Tennessee, and why oh why would we offer up anything of value for him. Yeah, going into his last year he was one of the guys at QB to keep an eye on, he has all the physical tools anyone could ask for. I kind of followed him, wanted him here when he was still in school. Get it done!

Tenn. is not trading their #2 Veteran QB sitting behind their rookie QB. No amount of ESPN trolling idiots who believe any rumor they hear will change that. I'm sorry that my holding a different opinion than you apparently rises to demands for bribe banning, my thin skinned friend, but I guess some folks just can't handle being questioned or having their foolishness pointed out. And I'm sorry you're a Retarhd who can't read and blindly labels people to suit your agenda. Read what, exactly? You've yet to put forth a coherent argument for why Tenn. would trade their veteran #2 QB to us, thereby making our QB problem their QB problem. And what "agenda", laughing at idiots who seem to think the NFL is Madden 2015, and teams will happily trade their veteran backup QB away for nothing because "reasons:?

Nice to see you haven't improved as a poster, still asking stupid madden-fantasy questions, followed up by content-free replies deflecting from how stupid your initial "idea" was. Know how I know your idea was idiotic mate......you spent zero time defending it, and all your time trying to insult me. Which you also failed at. Enjoy your "....but in Madden We Could Trade for Anyone!" thread, dumb ass. The fuck are you even talking about? Madden threads?? I'd love to see you support that claim... Couldn't be any further from the truth... 3/4 of the posting i do is in the draft forum, and when i do have a topic to discuss (cause this a forum for discussion), i spend TOO much time defending a position, as I did in this thread, but apparently you're a fucking tool with selective reading habits. Mettenberger as trade bait is a relevant topic of discussion (ESPN themselves broached the subject), and after watching him perform the last couple weeks, it seemed like appropriate issue to pass the time this week with. Ragu, how much more do i have to pay to have this guy banned, burned and buried. No place for cock-artists like him. LOL free. But i like watching your posts after guys piss you off so hes got some value

why Tenn. would trade their veteran #2 QB to us I'm not sure why you keep calling him their VET #2 QB when he's only going into his second year. He only has 7 starts under his belt and they do have Whitehurst on their roster.

Not sure I agree on the term but warfish didn't make it up on his own.

Meh... our guys are ALWAYS learning some brand new to them system. That shit counts for something. All those other hacks just have the same system and So you'd burn a third to pick up the guy on the basis of pass accuracy when he had the same accuracy last year as Geno and worse than Fitzpatrick? Statistically Mettenberger and Geno were the same guy last year. That might say more about how poor value we got out of taking Geno in the second but I don't see why we would give up a third to get a less dumb Geno on the roster Lol, we could use a less dumb Geno... I don't want that dude... You must be misunderstanding. I don't think he's any better than Geno

I've watched both his preseason performances as I continue to evaluate my dynasty league prospects, and he's been staggeringly good. I have to admit, I didn't think he was bound for such an impressive sophomore leap. He still looks like a statue in the pocket with a long delivery but his vision/accuracy and power has been the stuff of "fuck"... TEN trading Zach M it's going to be an en-vogue topic any day now, and a full blown headline if he's still with TEN in 2016. No way he's on their roster by draft day next april... And while the bounty they'll get for Berger in 2016 will likely be more, I feel like the GM should consider moving him NOW, rather than later. You don't want that kind of noise on your team with Mariota. You just don't... regardless of the practicalities for keeping Mettenberger, you don't want to create a situation ripe with drama. Barring an RGIII knee-implosion in september, you have to move forward knowing it's #Mariota4life in TEN and get the other kid out. If he had to see time in the regular season b/c of injury to M.M., he's going to out play him... A rare instance of that not being a good thing necessarily. So would rather send a 3rd round pick their way now, or see how everything plays and look to draft next year? Mettenberger is already a step up to Fitz, and depending on the lockerroom perception of Geno, might make more sense when we have to inevitably pass the buck in October. I'd love to trade for Mettenberger if the price is right. I might get killed for this, but Mettenberger reminds me a little bit of Kenny O.

I would still trade Geno for Mettenberger straight up or throw in a high pick if that is what it takes. People will probably bash this for being unrealistic (Warfish) or for giving away Geno. But I don't think Geno has the head to be a winner in this league. From draft day, to him running backwards on broken plays, to him trying to pass behind his back, to him getting punched in the face over money despite there being an ATM in the locker room, Geno has showed enough that he doesn't have the emotional maturity or game smarts to be a cool headed gunslinger. I want the GM to try to get as much for Geno as long as he has any value as trade bait.

It's unrealistic that TEN will give up Mettenberger or that they would want Geno instead. I agree. I don't see why Tennessee would trade Mettenberger now - I wouuld love to have him, I liked him a lot coming out of school - but I don't see it happening. Mariota has played one good pre-season game. Why trade Mettenberger now, before they really know what they have in the rookie. And if they are going to trade him for picks, again, why do it now, it doesn't benefit this season anyway. Wait until after the season when you may have more teams in the market for a young potential starting QB. If I am Tennessee, I keep him on the roster this season, figure out what i have in Mariota and potentially make a deal for a pick/picks in the offseason.

They'd probably want something that could help Mariota if they are even considering it. Draft pick and Kerley or something to that effect. Too bad Kerley has looked like shit recently.
