How Tennessee Titans fans should be feeling right now.

I wrote an article at the end of the preseason when Andrew Luck retired about how that move affected the Tennessee Titans team and gave some perspective as to what it meant for the organization.

It seems only fair that I do the same thing with Marcus Mariota, not because they were the same caliber of quarterback but because both teams were faced with the same problem of abruptly needing to replace a starting quarterback in the NFL.

Both teams attempted to make contingency plans based on what would happen if there was an issue with the starter, but neither team wanted to be down to their QB2 without having ample time to prep for it.

With that said, I am going to take a little look at what the Indianapolis Colts did and see if that is possible for the Titans.

Then I am going to go through and walk through the 5 steps that every fan needs to go through now that the decision has been made to start Ryan Tannehill.
