The Titans depressing revolving door of post-Steve McNair quarterbacks appears to be heading towards another spin. First it was the “VY is my guy” directive from late owner Bud Adams to take Vince Young with the third overall pick in 2006. Then it was Jake Locker — he of the 54% career completion percentage in college — with the eighth overall pick in 2011. Finally, they got to “no red flags” Marcus Mariota in 2015 with the second overall pick.
Right on schedule, the Titans appear set to draft yet another hopeful savior at the game’s most important position in 2020 after Mariota was benched against the Broncos on Sunday.
