I know this is the QB thread but I think that's his 3rd INT in camp(4 if u count the games). He's so godly.

Hasselbeck has settled down after early pick. Has 2 TDs in red zone drill and is 17 of 22 overall #titans |

Locker hasn't had a great bounce back day. He's had some off target throws but did have success in red zone. He's 12 of 21 overall |
There's Hass' first TC win in a while. Uh oh.

Found a new Titans media member to follow. Seems Locker is doing better than what Wyatt says.

In reference to the bomb to Cook.

Hawkins not doing Locker any favors by dropping a deep pass. It was on the money. #Titans |

Locker with a nice throw to Preston for a TD. #Titans |
| Quote: | | #Titans three consecutive passes from Locker to Preston, all have been touchdowns. |
| Quote: | Dan Ariks @danomiteTN
#Titans team drills. starting on the three yard line. Locker in, pass complete to Washington. |
I'd like to see Locker start Thursday and take some shots downfield. That's one of his big advantages over Hass.

The fact that Munchak mentioned the early part of the schedule will factor in the decision is pretty telling.

Right...
I just can't see that playing too much into the decision. What we going to do? every time we play a winning team we gonna put Jake on the bench?
That was the thing with the Longhorn.....never could beat 3-4 teams or something close to that...can't hide the QB. If he is your guy let him ride!

Yes...because if there's one way to beat a strong offense it's with a quarterback that is unable and unwilling to throw the ball more than 10 yards down field. |
People are all over the map with this competition. Two weeks ago Matt was a respected player but now people are acting like he's Kerry Collins 2.0. He might not be able to stretch the field like Jake but he's not going to toss up a floater down the middle of the field off his back foot. That set the Bucs up inside the 5 yard line, that's the kind of play that can completely decide a game. Bottom line with Hass is he can get the ball into the hands of our playmakers and make good decisions. I say start the season with the more reliable option and trust the running game and defense. Nothing at all laughable about that.

He's not?  He did that plenty last year. Just recently did it in the Seahawk game were he just threw a floater and I guess thought our WR was about 7 feet tall.

That throw was nothing at all like Lockers, literally nothing. That was a deep ball down the sideline, and I'll admit Matt sucks at throwing deep. Most of Matt's picks last year came from throws like that but I've never seen Matt throw off his back foot and miss a guy by like 10 feet. All I'm saying is there's more consistency with Matt not that he's better.
This video's good, breaks down a little bit of Hasselbeck from 2012. Saw this the other day.

My thoughts on Hass haven't changed since about Week 8 of last season. What people seem to have forgotten is the fact that he was a bad quarterback throughout the majority of last season. Not good, not slightly above average, hell, not even mediocre. Bad.
You don't think he'll throw a floater down the middle of the field? Go take a look at the Colts game from last season. Or the lob he threw into double coverage to Damian Williams last week. There's this idea that he is a great decision-maker that clearly comes from the fact that he checks down a lot, thus "taking what the defense gives him." Really, he finished last season with an average completion percentage and an average interception rate, things that are unacceptable when you check down as often as he does.
Is he a better decision-maker than Jake at this point in his career? Sure, but he also brings a hell of a lot less to the table than Jake does in nearly every other aspect of the game.
As for relying on the defense and running game, I'm simply not prepared to believe that our running game is suddenly right back to where it used to be. I have faith in CJ, God knows I have faith in Fernando Velasco, but this isn't 2008. We have questions about our pass rush, questions in our secondary and questions about the run game. We can't sit back, be satisfied with run, run, pass, punt and then hope that our defense can get stops.
And it's for that reason that we don't need a glorified game-manager under center for the first few weeks. We're playing elite offenses, we can't expect to win with the old formula. I love our defense and think it can be a very good unit, but take a look back at some of the games we lost against explosive teams last season. Our defense did what it could, but the offense couldn't put the points on the board necessary to pull out the win. It doesn't make sense to send Hass out there again this year so we can watch him once again come up short in similar situations.
I like Hass. I really do. He seems like a genuinely great guy, great teammate and he once was a very good quarterback. But he doesn't help the team at this point. Yes, I understand we were a win away from the playoffs last season, but the one of the biggest reasons we fell short is because of some of his absolutely hideous performances down the stretch.
I think we have a shot to win games with either quarterback. But I'll take my lumps with a quarterback that can make plays rather than with an aging, inconsistent decision-making quarterback whose arm is deteriorating with every throw. He may not be Kerry Collins yet, but he could be very shortly.

3500 yrds. Last time that happened with this franchise was Moon. There is still gas in the tank.
I give most everyone some slack last yr due to the lock out, new coach/system, etc.
With a solid season under his belt with the Titan "system" he has familiarity now that he didn't have last year. Same goes with his recievers becoming familiar with him. Given, odds may be against him...Hass may still prove you wrong.
My optimum scenario: Jake is ready to go against NE and we begin a new era. Im just pleased we have Hass as an option.
