Titans QB Signs His Own Death Warrant, Calls Out J.J. Watt (w/ VIDEO)

We're a couple decades removed now from Nashville stealing our professional football team, so we tend to forget that we are supposed to "sports hate" that city and their beloved Titans. It's hard to fabricate that "sports hate," but unfortunately that's what we find ourselves doing the last few years, given how consistently crappy their team been since like 2009.

This coming season is no different — the Texans are expected to be a dark horse for an AFC playoff spot, while the Titans are a favorite to pick in the top five in the 2016 NFL Draft. So again we are left needing some sort of "vitriol Viagra pill" in order to conjure up some good ol' fashioned anger at them.

-snip-

Now, here we are, several months later and Mettenberger is preparing for a season in which we are not entirely sure he's even going to be the Titans' starter. That didn't stop him from sharing his thoughts on J.J. Watt. In an interview with a website called Campus Sports, Mettenberger had the following to say:

“J.J. had to say it’s a bit high school-ish that I take selfies and I think he still rags me on Instagram every time he posts a selfie,” Mettenberger said in the one-on-one session. “At the same time, if that’s high school-ish, he got a letterman jacket made, a Texans letterman jacket. That’s pretty high school-ish to me, don’t you think?”

You can view the entire interview here (fast forward to about the 5:00 mark for his comments on J.J. Watt):

I think J.J. Watt overreacted about the Mettenberger selfies. So, the guy took a few selfies before he made his first start. I would think someone like J.J. Watt would understand Mettenberger taking selfies before his first NFL start. I am not saying Watt did anything similar, but Watt knows what it is like to start his first NFL game. Watt should have done his job during the game, but not criticized Mettenberger for taking the selfies.

In addition, J.J. Watt has to be able to take criticism when he dishes it out. It is true that J.J. Watt and Houston Texans had letterman jackets make for them for a game. They lost that game and never wore the jackets again. Before the lose, the team seemed to think it was okay to have the jackets made and worn. Anyone could claim the action of the team was high school-ish.

That being said Mettenberger should focus on becoming a better quarterback. I am not sure he is an actual starter. He may have started the game last year due to an injury of another quarterback. Mettenberger should first focus on becoming a starter. Then he needs to focus on being good enough to say the things he said about J.J. Watt and then have a decent game against him. Mettenberger needs to be able to come out and have a three to four touchdown game after saying the things he said in that interview.
