    He retired because he sucked. If he were any good he wouldn’t have retired.


    He could have floated around the league as a backup forever like a poor man's Fitzpatrick or a Josh McCown. He retired because he wanted to.
    He didn’t want to be a back up QB. He sucked. If he was successful at all in Tennessee, he wouldn’t have retired.

    He could have been a backup QB, not been injured all the time, and made millions bouncing around the NFL. Instead he wanted to hang out in Ferndale, open a gym, and spend time with his hot wife mom and family

    Would I have done the same thing? Probably not, but good for him if that's what he wants to do.

    He could have gone to Oregon and become an All-American safety

    I’d rather drink myself to death than find religion. The bottom of the bottle may be dry but at least it’s free of charlatans and hypocrites.

    Browning was better than Locker. And much tougher.

    Saw a special on him. Didn’t know him but seemed like a family guy that was a good qb, not great, but made his $$$ and said fuck it...

    Bought what he wanted, settled into what he wanted, and all the power to his ass for “making it” ...I guess...

    Seemed like good dude.

    according to @RoadDawg55 he is fucking failure go figure

    He’s not watched 30 for 30(Million).

    He’s a failure as a NFL QB. Nobody ever said he wasn’t a good guy or that he didn’t make a lot of money.
    I was shocked when he was picked #8 overall. My theory was that the Titans thought he'd be highly marketable in the South

    In a place built on stupid takes, this is the keystone.
    Don’t get me wrong, I think brownsocks is horrible and shits himself in big games. Very much looking forward to Eason.

    But Locker, while he had the heart of a lion, did not have the tools or durability. Jesus can only do so much for you.

    And just to throw gasoline on the fire, I’d take Cody Pickett over either of them.

    I don’t think it was that. Teams reach for QB’s every year. Blaine Gabbert and Christian Ponder were picked right after him.

    bunch of fanboy shit up in heeuh!

    don't recall anyone saying he was an asshole.

    i think his point is that if he'd been a good NFL QB he would have kept playing, which I believe to be true. of course he had the option of holding a clipboard for 10 years and said 'pass'.
