NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans, in previous regimes and the new one, are not basing personnel decisions on public sentiment.
And they certainly shouldn’t.
But as I watched the Twitter reaction of some fans to the team’s release of quarterback Zach Mettenberger, I couldn’t help but think of a list of guys the fan base has generally overrated.
Since the Titans got to Nashville, many fans have really latched on to some underdogs who weren’t or aren’t very good.
Has Music City’s affection for mediocre/ bad players helped enable the franchise to make the sort of moves that have landed it at the bottom of the league?
