Titans players bothered by "Tank" talk


Guest

Recommended Posts

Gee I wonder why SI puts up a picture of Mettenberger while discussing tank? Don't they know we're just looking for a "spark"?

Of course, whether they choose to consciously acknowledge it, every payer in that room knows we gave up at 2-5. Giving 110% is always impossible but it's even more impossible for us. The Tank is strong my friends. 

 

OTOH I am sure glad Tommy is intrigued by all this.

Developing doesn't necessarily mean we are tanking.  At some point, you put the past behind you and look towards the future.  This has to happen at some point for every team.  This phenomenon doesn't mean the plan is to lose out.

 

It's like changing software because the old software is outdated.  It's something you have to do if you want to stay competitive.  Changing software in no way means the company is turning down work or giving up on profits.  Just the opposite, even though the transition might be rough.

But what would you prefer them to do? Teams stay bad when they don't acknowledge they're bad. 9 times out of 10, for all teams, a rookie QB isn't as good as the vet backup, it's a period of growing pains you have to go through.

Is the team lying to the fans about this not being about the future? Of course they are, teams lie all the time. But the truth is evaluating ZM so they can determine if they have to draft or sign a QB is simply much more important than getting another win or two. I understand the vets frustration about this, Id be pissed to. But it is what it is.

RE:  Tanking.  - Meh.

I agree with the "developing" sentiment.  The defense needs experience in the new system and Mett simply needs experience.

The OL, WRs and RBs shouldn't have as much leeway with this excuse.  

This year was never going to be that successful - especially with the QB situation we started with.

I hope we do tank and grab a high pick. This team needs elite talent everywhere outside of Casey and Lewan

Amen.

Remember the Matt-Leinart-was-given-a-raw-deal-by-Whiz comments. LOL
