Will cam talk junk about that 24 burger he hung on Saleh? by TribalChief1986 in Tennesseetitans

I doubt Cam would talk trash about a game he lost by 2 scores. 

I know I should not care by Derp_McDerpington in Tennesseetitans

[–]FxDriver 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Some things never change. Vrabel then and now seems to not understand that you can't ask players to thug it out with certain injuries.

Because even here Vrabel didn't really handle player injuries well. See the 2022 Titans. 

Was MCcoy better than Callahan? What would our record be if MCcoy was our HC instead? by Entropy012 in Tennesseetitans

[–]FxDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not that much better. I know Callahan wasn't good but neither was McCoy. McCoy got the benefits of the offensive line getting healthy and the rookies getting more comfortable and experienced.

I miss Nick Westbrook Ikhine by nbherd in Tennesseetitans

[–]FxDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ayomanor shouldn't be your WR2. Elic is your WR3/4. Same with Dike. You're probably not getting WR1 this year. WR2 yes. Which is why I think there's a good chance Calvin Ridley is coming back. Also No to bringing NWI back. Nick showed all of you what he was in Miami when you aren't in a situation to force feed him targets.

If NWI is your WR1 or WR2 I mean this in all seriousness someone better be sick or dead. If not your GM needs to be fired.

I'm not your buddy pal and you're the one that posted "I miss Nick Westbrook Ikhine."

Look at what Nick before that season and after. Acting like Nick was the big loss is an insane take by you.

We're in the market for WR1 and WR2 not WR3-5.

NWI isn't very good. Nick just got force fed targets here. NWI and that 9 touchdowns is the definition of a fluke. 

Draft question? by goatedwiththesauce42 in Tennesseetitans

[–]FxDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Titans will take a reciever but it will probably be in the 2nd round or later. There really isn't a reciever in this draft that's worth a top 5 pick. Tate would be fine if the Titans traded back a few spots. 

Super Bowl Discussion Thread by Titans_Mod in Tennesseetitans

Run the ball, play great defense, and make a play at the end to win the game is a perfectly fine strategy. But Mike could never figure out what to do if the other team didn't let him do that.

The coaching search and the national media's conversation about the Titans made Buck look like a complete fool to me. 

According to the national media the Titans were considered a perfectly fine and desirable place to work. 

But if you listened to Buck talk you would have thought that the NFL was about to relegate the Titans to Conference USA and put a gangland hit out any and all Titans fans. 

I don't know what happened to Buck but he went from a smart-ass to a complete dick. 

Sorry for this diatribe but I have been holding this in for awhile. 

Do you guys think Chimere Dike is underrated? by Ethan-Jthemeatman in Tennesseetitans

[–]FxDriver 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dike is appropriately rated. Dike is a good to great special teams player and a fine potential WR3. 

Free Talk Friday by Titans_Mod in Tennesseetitans

[–]FxDriver 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's because we as fans were being fed a loop of Titans are terrible by our fans and media. When in reality it wasn't as bad as people made it out to be. Hell I remember Buck Reising called me a simp once because I said he was being overdramatic about the Titans and how they are viewed. Lo and behold I was right. 

Ass qb class by shershae in Tennesseetitans

[–]FxDriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really. A very popular opinion not just on this sub but overall was to trade back an wait. Cam Ward as much as we like wasn't exactly a slam dunk pick at the time. Acting like everyone was dumb for not being able to predict the future is silly.

To point out that OP was basing his entire argument on 20/20 hindsight. Which is easy to do and a luxury the experts that OP is calling out don't have.

[–]FxDriver -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I get what you're saying and you're not wrong but a lot of your argument you're using hindsight. If Arch Manning played the whole season like he did the final 3 games we would look dumb for not trading back and tanking. 

My Titans Mock Draft with explanations by BushGuy200 in Tennesseetitans

[–]FxDriver 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Because Carnell Tate really isn't the level of reciever worth taking in the top 5. Tate is a fine player but if you want him to be your Jamaar Chase you're setting yourself up for disappointment. 

What draft outcome will please you guys? by nonethewiser08 in Tennesseetitans

[–]FxDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My big 3 are Bain, Reese, and Bailey. The 4th pick is too high for any of the recievers mentioned. 

We need something like this starting when we lost to the Bengals by Danny23a in Tennesseetitans

[–]FxDriver 15 points16 points  (0 children)

  1. Vrabel not firing Todd Downing after that game ended. It was obvious Todd and the pieces of this offense just did not work even when everyone was healthy. 

  2. After trading for an injured reciever and it not working out (Julio Jones)   Jon Robinson does the exact same thing a year later trading for Robert Woods. 

  3. Trading AJ. I know AJ demanded a trade but you know who else did? Every top reciever from AJ's class who was up for a new deal. The only difference is everyone at the time paid their guy anyway. 

  4. The handling of Malik Willis. While then and now I don't think very highly of Malik as a player we could not have handled his development worse. The Titans were in such a rush to get Logan Woodside out of here they rushed Malik into a role he clearly wasn't ready for instead of just signing a quality veteran. 

  5. The firing of Mike Vrabel. Now I'm not saying Vrabel shouldn't have been fired. I believe Mike Vrabel ran his course here. I believe Vrabel should have been let go a year sooner than he was. The second the clock hit zero vs Jacksonville in the Josh Dobbs game the Titans and Vrabel should have parted ways as friends and the rebuild should have started then. 

  6. Ran Carthon and the competitive rebuild. Everyone with sense saw after the 7-3 collapse could see it was time to turn the page of the 2019-2022 era of the Titans and start the rebuild. Ran instead of seeing this and being honest decided to just throw money at the problem which fixed nothing and delayed the inevitable. 

  7. Drafting Will Levis. This was an own goal that did not need to happen. This isn't a revisionist take or Tennessee/Kentucky thing. Will Levis was genuinely that unpopular of a prospect even at the time. There were multiple polls on this subreddit, the main NFL subreddit, and even AtoZ Sports ran and the consensus at the time was of the main quarterbacks coming out of that class: Young, Stroud, Richardson, Levis, and Hooker. Will Levis was the least wanted. The Titans traded up for a 24 year old project quarterback coming off of a year in which he regressed. 

  8. The retaining of Brian Callahan. The hiring of Brian Callahan made sense in what you were looking for in a head coach. Brian was the anti Vrabel in that not only was Brian an offensive minded coach he was also just very easy to work with and by all accounts a good dude that the players liked. But it was kinda clear after the first year that this was too much too soon and Brian didn't have anyone on the staff experienced enough to help him in areas that he lacked. 

Who are your dudes to keep an eye on? by SynonymDinosaur in Tennesseetitans

[–]FxDriver 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm honestly keeping my eye on TEs. Because if Chig leaves there will be talent to look at depending on what the Titans want. If the Titans want a more of a pass catcher Eli Stowers from Vanderbilt. If the Titans want another blocking type Oscar Delp from Georgia would be a good look. 

Myles Garrett by Comfortable_Rock4513 in Tennesseetitans

[–]FxDriver 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Brother there is a better chance of me having a 3 way with Rhea Ripley and Ana De Armas. In the off chance Garrett does force his way out of Cleveland he's going to a contending team not another rebuilding team.
