The Facts:
Locker spent time at 104.5 The Zone in Nashville Wednesday morning and once again deflected the accuracy question as he has since the day the Titans spent the eighth pick in the 2011 draft on him. Does he think accuracy is an issue? “I don’t,” he said. “I never have. At the end of the day, wins and losses is what I think everybody cares about and obviously we didn’t get that done either. But I think for me there’s situations I think when I had guys around me, sometimes I just need to become a little more comfortable with a little bit of noise in front of me and that’s things that I will work on this offseason.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky noted, Locker suffered as a result of poor protection and drops during his 11 starts in his second NFL season. But the QB’s struggles with accuracy extended well beyond that. Go ahead and boost his completion percentage of 56.4 percent by a couple points to account for drops. Completion percentage isn't a tell all, and here’s the fact if you watched him play: He misses his target too often -- although the former first-round pick disagrees. “I don’t think that’s a problem, and I think just continue to work and get better and who knows if that number will go up? I hope the wins ... go up,” Locker told Kuharsky. Worth noting, Matt Williamson of Scouts Inc. disagrees with Locker. “It is terrible and doesn’t seem to be improving,” Williamson said when asked about Locker's accuracy issues. “All the ability in the world, but it is seldom that QBs become more accurate at the NFL level. ...” That may be, but the Titans are clearly all in on Locker. If he fails, they fail (much like they did last season).
