Titan's NEW QB? (Picking his brain or?)

Posted by Mike Florio on October 28, 2009 2:21 PM ET A day after former Vikings quarterback John David Booty had a tryout with the Texans, he has landed with another team in the AFC South. Per media reports out of Tennessee (both the Nashville City Paper and the Tennessean), Booty has signed with the Titans' practice squad. The former USC quarterback was a fifth-round pick of the Vikings in 2008, and he landed on the Vikings' practice squad after Brett Favre took both Booty's number and, as a practical matter, his roster spot. The arrival of Booty in Nashville only four days before the Vikings play the Packers is, on the surface, meaningless. But Mike Reinfeldt, the Titans' G.M., was an eight-year member of the Green Bay front office, from 1991 through 1998. Per his online bio, Reinfeldt was "instrumental" in bringing to Green Bay Ron Wolf, the G.M. who knew that Brett Favre would become something much more than a hard-partying Mississippi kid with a dyslexic last name. More recently, Reinfeldt was rumored to be in line for the CEO position in Green Bay, and he remains close friends with Packers G.M. Ted Thompson. It's probably all one big coincidence. But we wouldn't be shocked to learn that Booty's initial duties include a brain-picking conference call with Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy as they prepare to host Favre for the first time ever

I agree

That’s quite a stretch considering Booty was never on the team at the same time as Favre and has been away from the team for almost 2 months. What could they possibly hope to learn from him? Also, at 0-6, do the Titans really need revenge against Favre for jilting the former team of their GM who put together a roster that has not won a game? I would think just wanting to prove your manhood and win a game would be motivation enough.
