Yup! Locker’s two exhibition game outings definitely earned him the starting nod.

Eleven completions of 24 passes attempted. Zero TDs. One bone-headed INT thrown to his left while running to his right, and right to two defenders. Another INT thrown into the end zone that was about to picked off by one defender when another DB simply knocked the ball away. The likely intended receiver was covered like a blanket.

All points scored when Locker was in the games came one running plays.

The only reason Locker is starting is that the people who foolishly drafted him at #8 overall want and need him to be the starter. He’ll be gone at the end of his contract.

This is a win-win situation for Tennessee. Good decision to start your young second year quarterback who in mop-up duty and in key backup situations really showed what he can do with the football. He will be fine seeing as how they have a good offensive line and they have receivers. Matt Hasselbeck cant come in barring injury or bad quarterbacking and save your team (note they were a game out of the playoffs last season with him. This is absolutely imperative they have receivers but they need Kenny Britt focused and ready to play and I know he is coming off of the ACL injury but spending more time in New York with Roger Goodell in dealing with your conduct rather than being Tennessee getting treatment for your injury and spending time making you and Jake Locker and your football team better is not where its at.

Go Jake Locker Go! Go Titans ! Locker must improve his completion percentage to succeed at the NFL level and be a winner! 51% won’t cut it. What 2nd year quarterback took their team to the playoffs last ? Can anyone name him ?!

And the news keep getting better in New England. Would much rather have Locker under center than Hasselback Week #1.

I have a feeling Kenny Britt will have a good year with this kid throwing him the ball when healthy

Short term pain this season while Locker gets his NFL legs under him (brutal schedule for him to start out with), but hopefully longterm gain.

And Matt Hasselbeck more than did his job in buying the Titans some time. It wasn’t just his play on the field — guy is a class act and has been a great example for Locker to look up to. Dude’s been awesome. So glad he chose to come to Tennessee last year even knowing he was the transitional guy.

Now we’ll get to see what he’s all about and it should help the offense as a whole including the run game. CJ always played better when the QB was a threat to run.

Also we don’t play the Bucs again, so you might want to edit your article..

Titans don’t play the Bucs again. They played last week. Chris Johnson ran roughshod over the Bucs third string defense and the media fell all over themselves declaring him the greatest running back of our time.

I watched the game against the Bucs. The pick was awful. Bad decision & even worse throw. With that said, he actually looked ok the rest of the game. On the surface his numbers don’t look good. I think he was 4-11. But I watched at least 3 passes hit the receivers in the hands & not be caught. A couple of them were well defended but as a receiver if you get your hands on it, it should be caught. I think he will be fine.
