Do you have a side gig working for FOX/Trump?

This is the way.

He's been doing it for close to a decade. At some point, he will be right. ...But will claim to be right all along.

It's sports. There's always the side-stories that capture the attention of fans. Most of the talk for XR is contained in this one thread that could be easily avoided by anyone "tired of reading about it."

Devil's Advocate: What does McCoy get out of winning any games? Dude was brought in for this very case as a "consultant." There may have been some off-the-record discussion about playing overly conservative with the goal of not trying too hard to win games. Play the rookies. Play an offense that sticks to basic concepts - those that can be used by whatever future coaching staff... but also won't threaten to win games. Injuries can be slow-walked. GM can get a good look at any practice squad players around the league with live game action. Firing of Callahan cleared the whole thing for the season.

Tank watch: Dolphins beating Saints. Jets tied with Falcons. Browns losing. Titans are really pulling their weight, though.

I think even @abenjami is out on him.

Who did the Titans get with that 5th round pick?

Most of your options for the extra money are from the fantasy land that these high-quality players are just sitting out there waiting for an offer from the Titans. RE: resign our own players. Ok - which current Titans are you overpaying to compensate for not overpaying a hypothetical midling QB? RE: Sign extra players. Ok - which current players set to become FAs are you overpaying? RE: Go for a higher tier FA. Ok - which current players set to become FAs are "higher tier" that you are overpaying? RE: Restructure current players. Ok - which current Titans are you overpaying with this restructuring? RE: Trading... Ok - so what draft capital or quality player are you going to give in order to acquire the expensive player? This Front Office is attempting to acquire MORE draft picks, not deal them. The meta on this site is that there are too many holes to fill that one big name player (ex: Parsons) won't help. RE: Cam This is a hypothetical where a team is "overpaying" an average QB. You are strictly against overpaying an average QB. I'm arguing that there are situations where it makes sense. Every year fans act like saving money is more important than fielding a team with a shot at the playoffs or beyond. Fans act like players don't have a choice in which team they sign with during Free Agency.

Or what? Go through a 2-win season and a 1-win season? Oh wait... I think that quote only works for perennial contenders.

You can spend that extra money on something that you already are purchasing. The salary floor means that teams are required to pay their players a certain amount. They aren't going out to hire 10 players over the 53-man roster. You are pretending that there is some golden Free Agent just sitting out there. A magical unicorn upgrade at Left Tackle or something. If a team isn't paying top-dollar for the QB, then sure, they have the OPTION of throwing extra cash at another player. HOWEVER, that player needs to be available at that time. In this current crop of Free Agents and Titans players coming up on an extension, who would you deem worthy of the extra money? ...In this hypothetical situation of the team being under the salary floor.

Didn't they sign him to a two-year deal? Are you bored? Why ask this question? Go clean out your belly button or something. Enjoy your day off with something constructive instead of attempting to stir up shit.

Okay. So this hypothetical cheap franchise is paying a midling QB average money. They are still short 10s of millions of payroll. They now need to pay someone that money. So, do they drive the price up for some other position? If they do, and that player doesn't pan out, how does the ever-so-educated-and-logical media react? A team overpays a non-Edge DT just to hit the salary floor and he doesn't make an impact that shows up on the stat sheet? Fucking fire that GM! Be sure to do it on Christmas or his birthday. Extra points for firing him while he's at his mother's funeral.

Teams have a salary floor. A certain amount of money goes to the key part of labor. QB is the most important part of the labor. Your argument should be about doing short-term deals.

How long was Womack on the team?
