Tannehill Traded To Titans

Im betting Tannehill will beat Mariota for starter.

Not likely, and I'm as big of a Tannehill supporter as you'll find.

People always have to remember that the NFL is a business first and foremost, and the QB position is basically a political one.

That's why RT absolutely had to be gone, in reality Flores/Grier had no choice, I'm sure Ross mandated his release in one way or another because his mere presence on the roster was a big problem for Ross's bottom line (fan support).

That's also why the Titans GM had to come out and publicly say Mariotta is the starter, if he hadn't it would've shaken the fan bases confidence in MM which is not good business for a young "franchise QB" who in truth has lots of flaws (and is on the last year of his contract).

Now if Mariotta struggles or gets hurt again like he does every year then it's much easier to sell to the fan base, but at this time and even through the preseason there's very little RT can do to win the job because that's not what the Tenn fan base wants which matters a lot (as well as the age and Marcus's potential).
