What I'm Hearing

The Titans have benched legendary QB Jack Lockner and are going with Zack Mettenberger. Again I'm not saying this has happened, just what I'm hearing, SOYNTLTD.

So, is today the day he realizes he spent $35 million by trusting Stark?

 
Even then Fetters was checking out his hips

Another example of a team that when they identify that something isn't the answer not being afraid of trying something else to determine whether that is the answer or they need to continue looking elsewhere.

Locker has started 27 games in 4 years plus was a college QB for 3 full seasons.

Miles has started only 7. Not a comparable situation.

At this point in Keith Price's career, he was shredding opposing defenses.

Hell, even Jack fucking Lockner looked better than Miles at that point in his career.

The brutal truth is that Jake was never destined for a good NFL career as a QB. As he himself said in August 2010, if he could do it over again he would have been a safety.

Link?

That doesn't sound like anything he's ever said. Not saying you're lying, just love to see the quote.

No Softy in the background? You're better than that.

Had a hard enough time fitting fatters fat face on Charles Lawton's fat Gracchus body and fitting that entire monstrosity into the pic.

I did consider a "Bright Side of Life" theme...
 
I know it isn't a popular opinion, but I liked Jake as well.

I'll never forget, when asked, how many opposing Pac-12 coaches said he was the one player they most feared facing on the field. (okay, I forget exactly how many said it... but it was a couple of them, including D. Erickson).

Sure he had some bad games, maybe many of them... but when things were clicking... he seemed unstoppable.

If he had the proper coaching and talent around him, who knows what could have happened. He still wouldn't have done much better in the pros though. Personally the soft faggot Seattle media and the Doog's worship of him got really old by 2010, especially when UW was 3-6. I told you so line: When the experts began touting him as a potential first pick, I knew they were either dumb, hadn't done homework, or abundance.
 
and Jake never looked upset or stressed out on the field. he never blamed someone for a drop or got concerned; he was just ready to give 100% on the next play and I always figured he might do it. He was a lot of fun to watch and I think he was a hell of a lot better college player than he gets credit for when you consider he dealt with Tyrone and Sark and no o-line. I'll never forget Jake against Ohio State... that dude was impressive by himself.

Honestly, those of you with a pathological need to point out that Jake isn't a god QB in the NFL, come across as having a very insecure need to say you were right about predicting this... and that "he should have been a safety" and "only doogs don't get it".

I'm sure every kid playing FB would feel lucky to have done as much as Jake's done.

And by the way, many of us don't give a shit about the NFL. It is mainly for the blue collar crowd. (no offense).

 
Jake should have left a year earlier and cashed in his lottery ticket. He is a journeyman who will last a few years as a backup. Not a bad gig.
 
Jake Locker is the most overrated player I have ever seen. He had less than one season's worth of good games over the course of his eligibility. It was very refreshing when Price stepped in and dropped dimes. I was reminded what an accurate QB looked like. Of course, Price went on and regressed and lost that spark, the OL and Sark playing a large role in that.

The main thing I took from that video was how badly Sark has aged.
 
The doogs in here claiming Locker was about to turn the corner before getting hurt - you guys fall for this every god damn year. Locker always has a good game or two in the early season. He then puts up a string of shit games before getting "hurt". Then poof he's gone the rest of the season. Looks like Tennessee finally understands the script.

Immaculate interception game IIRC
 
so my thing was that I honestly never had my interest in observing Jack be groomed into an NFL quarterback... I simply wanted Washington to win and along the way, watch some fun football players and Jack was a lot of fun to watch when he ran the ball. Of course he wasn't a great passer but when he ran it was awesome. In fact, during the Ty/Sark years, most of the only moments to enjoy were Jake's runs.
