Locker lacks the intelligence to play QB. Simple fact.

You misspelled Lockner.

Good QB's are typically very smart as well as accurate. Locker is missing the two most important skills needed to be a QB.MikeDamone said:Locker lacks the intelligence to play QB. Simple fact.

When has actual talent ever been more important than a person's desire?
Don't hate, APPRECIATE!! -
Contrary to the news headlines of the day, I believe that racism in this country is far less prevalent than what is depicted in the MSM. That being said, from the moment Locker was selected #8 overall, I believed Tennessee felt like they were getting a great athlete and someone immensely marketable to the Southern Good Ol Boy demographic. He fits the mold of a white country boy who is also a great athlete and very likable. This is 100% speculation on my part, but I bet that some scouts privately objected to drafting him so high but were overruled by Titans ownership. That's just my instinct talking, I could be way off.

Easy for a white man who was born on third base and gets a free pass into the good ol boy club to say racism is less prevalent.DerekJohnson said:Contrary to the news headlines of the day, I believe that racism in this country is far less prevalent than what is depicted in the MSM.

Actually, I think it's apparent that in the last 100 years each generation less biased than the previous.

Interesting theory, and I could see that possibly factoring into their decision. The flip side is that Christian Ponder and Andy Dalton were also available and they basically fit into the white country boy mold as well.DerekJohnson said:Contrary to the news headlines of the day, I believe that racism in this country is far less prevalent than what is depicted in the MSM.
