@RapSheet

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

Do we call the 2011 Draft a bust?

Zach Mettenberger? Isn't that on the dollar menu with the Ben Roethlisberger?

Cam, Kaepernick, and Dalton.  Three playoff QBs, one has been to the Superbowl.  How can you call that a bust in any sense.  Some years drafts yield 0 QBs.

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.

[PandaPancake]

I have no idea who Gabbert is.

[KSpan]

The toughest call in football was trying to guess why Locker and Gabbert were on the same cover as Cam.

[Rise of The Hive]

Tough break for Locker.

4 quarterbacks taken within the top 15 picks.

 

Newton

Locker

Gabbert

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.

Maybe the qb class...but the top rest of the class as a whole maybe the top 10 picks all have a shot at the hall of fame.
