Titans "Suck for the Duck"

[cityofchamps]

It has begun. In typical NFL reactionary fashion, fans of teams are now starting campaigns to get highly touted rookies because they think their season is over after 5 weeks. The first one to start is the Titans' "Suck for the Duck", which obviously refers to Titans fans wanting the team to suck in order to Draft Oregon QB Marcus Mariota, who is in the conversation for the #1 overall pick.

Probably the most famous instance of a team wanting to suck for a Draft pick was the 1968 Philadelphia Eagles. Their fans wanted them to get USC RB O.J. Simpson in the 1969 NFL Draft, but they ended up winning 2 of their final 3 games which ended up as their only wins of the season and were stuck with Purdue RB Leroy Keyes who only played 3 seasons with the Eagles, and only one as a RB, switching to Safety in 1971 and leaving for the Chiefs in 1972.

Titans fans did the same after a 3-1 start last year. I'm not making that up. Our fan base is awful. Literally every loss I hear cheers to fire Locker and the coach and the GM and everyone. Even when we play well it's never enough for the nashville faithful. We're the opposite of Cleveland fans, pretty much.

That said, if we end up with a good enough record to draft Winston or Mariota, we probably will, since Locker's contract expires this off season and he certainly hasn't earned a new one this year (except the Chiefs game and the first half of last week). If locker comes back next week and plays like his old self, he could very well earn a contract for next year, or at least get the Titans enough wins so that they can't pick Mariota or Winston. I'm fine either way.

I've never liked the idea of sucking and cheering for losses. Thats coming from a Lions fan whose team has sucked the hardest the last decade.
