    Well, at least I don’t have to be a Titans fan any more.

    I mean, I hate it but understand it. Way better to burn this down (we are not close to competitive) and rebuild. We also need a franchise QB and now have a nice runway to test drive our young ones.

    Appreciate all the great play he brought. Hopefully he can crush it in Philly.

    now to see what we can get for Simmons, Henry, etc

    Feel like the Eagles got the better of that trade. I’m all for burning it down but Ran hasn’t earned a lot of trust at this point after the draft and signing Dillard to be our starting LT.

    Hope KB crushes it and gets a ring cause he wasn’t going to win one here any time soon.

    Texan fans, lead by JJ Watt, are so mad about the throwbacks.
    Sorry you don’t get to wear the best throwback in the league bitches.

    We were the Tennessee Oilers for two years before becoming the Titans, so that’s our name/logo.

    So can we play our way into a top 5 pick this year?

    Possibly? I truly do not care as long as we get one of Joe Alt, Olumuniya Fashanu, or Taliese Fuaga. Preferably one of those top 2. Honestly, feels like we need to draft maybe 2-3 linemen and then sign one. Everyone other than Skoronski can get the fuck out.

    I still think we have our QB for the next 10 years.

    I'm not on the fire Vrabel train yet...but I have definitely explored the terminal and looked up ticket prices. I think he deserves one more Ran Carthon draft (Ran basically hit on the first 4 picks in 2023) and one more year. It's kind of like...whats the better option? Vrabel showed us he can take a talented team far.

    For me it’s his refusal to go outside of his buddies for coaching hires and then keeping them on too long.
    Nothing about our passing game last year said “hey let’s promote the passing game coordinator to OC”. Same with promoting the offensive line assistant of the last couple years to O line coach.
    Im also not a fan of him never seeming to accept responsibility for the team’s shortcomings. Seems like 90% of his quotes are always “the guys have to play better” etc.

    I’d give him another year if he makes the staff changes that we need and goes outside of his buddies.

    Ran hit on the draft but holy hell did he whiff on signing Dillard. If a team drafts a guy in the 1st round and gives up on him that quickly, I’d say you probably don’t want to give that dude a big contract to be your starting left tackle.
    Plus him choosing Dalys number should have been a huge red flag lol.

    Yeah, I could argue some of those points but it's not worth it. At the end of the day, he's like 3-14 in his last 17 games which is atrocious. I just truly believe we need to give him one more draft/FA class. If he puts together a similar year next year, then I will give him the boot.

    I’m not totally against giving him another year. I think he absolutely has to make changes at OC and O line coach. Our play calling makes 0 sense the majority of the time.

    Frank Wychek died. 52 years old. Almost certainly has to be CTE related, you’d think.

    Rumor is that club level PSLs in the new stadium are gonna $30K plus. Upper deck PSLs rumored to be $8K.

    If that’s true I hope they get sell so few that the Adams and the Titans lose a ton of money.

    So tired of Vrabel’s bullshit answers when people dare question his coaching decisions. Between this coaching staff and the rumored pricing on PSLs in the new stadium I’m about to the point of rooting for a 20 year playoff drought.

    ...why do you hate it? Gonna basically have two, excellent pass-catching backs to split the backfield. Made a great signing of the center from Denver (Cushenberry). We've also signed basically a CB1 (Awuzie) if he can stay healthy. I'm meh on the Chargers LB.

    Overall, I'd rate our FA a B so far. I think we are a better team especially with the draft coming up...and I think we can focus on WR and OT there.

    I don’t think Pollard is all that good simply put.
    Even taking Henry leaving out of the equation since everyone knew he was leaving, I’m not a fan of the signing.

    Plus Im still pissed at the Dillard signing last year lol. But at least we got a good center this year.

    We’re desperate for an OT so it would be very on brand for us to take a WR in the first. I hope we keep building the line this draft.

    WR in the first and some small school OT that has a good week during the senior bowl in round 3 would be so on brand for us.

    I'm really high on the Oregon State kid. Honestly would rather move down a couple spots, get him and pick up a third rounder.

    We need to draft like 3 or 4 O linemen in this draft. Build that fucking thing.

    Speaking of. My buddy will have 2 club level seats for sale to just about every home game. He normally only wants to get whatever the face value for that game is. Soon as he knows what games he will be selling and if there are any games he will be selling all 4 I will post in here to see if anyone wants them.

    Defense plays great all game but can’t get off the field at the end because the offense blows dick.

    Offensive line playing just as bad as last year.

    His contract ends at the end of the year. What do you think half a season of a washed wr is worth? Getting anything for him is value.

    I think he’s worth more than that if there’s a halfway decent QB throwing him the ball.
    I’ve just become numb to it the last couple years.

    I don’t think we’ve been realistically close to competing for awhile so I’m not sure what some of see moves have been lately.
    Like we’re going to waste all that money on Ridley with a complete tear down now right? Unless we find sometime to eat some of it.
    Obviously I’m not a GM so I know fuck all about building a team.

    I'm not off the Ran train. I think he put together a very competent team. I think our coaching has been abysmal.

    Here's how I would rank blame:

    1. AAS (she's a terrible owner clothed in a smiling older lady's body)
    2. Brian Callahan (should have coached/trained the team based on limiting turnovers, running the ball, and playing defense...did the exact opposite with a turnover prone QB who has a bottle of mayo for a brain. To watch a QB all preseason and think he has a world burner when in fact he's horrific is almost a fireable offense IMO)



    3. Ran (he put together a significantly better squad than we had last year...and our team record/performance-wise is significantly worse)

    Ran literally traded a 5th for that LB we traded a couple months ago and just got a 4th back for sending him out.
