luvyablue256 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 There's an old saying regarding young QBs... If you can get their year 2 performance to be as good as their rookie year performance, you've made progress. That's all I ask at this point. I expect us to draft and sign quality players that won't get put in situations to win games by the coaches. Par for the course until we get a serious staff in. Just hope J.R. doesn't turn into the fall guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Former_Fan Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Hard to answer this before we see the FA and draft moves. The current roster would be a 4-12 team next year. Lets hope after the disappointing coaching moves that they somewhat redeem themselves with some big roster moves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bongo59 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I dont think so..........MM for 16 games with this roster would win 6 games easy. I think MM could really shock next yr but he needs some key pieces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current O line wouldn't keep him healthy 16 games, and with no run game, and no reliable receivers besides Walker, Mariota doesn't have the weapons to be successful. The draft and free agency are going to be critical to Mariotas development. Lets hope they get it right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titans279 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I think 7 wins should be the expectation. I expect to see improvement roughly equivalent to the Raiders. They went from 3-13 in 2014 to 7-9 in 2015. They were 4-12 in 2012 and 2013, so it's not like their 2014 season was an aberration. The owners clearly thought Mularkey was the correct guy from the get go, so I expect to see results confirming he's a competent head coach. People are throwing around Ron Rivera comparisons in other threads and on twitter. Following a 2-14 season by John Fox, he was 6-10 and 7-9 in his first two seasons. Cam Newton was Offensive ROY in his first year, and Luke Kuechly was Defensive ROY in his second year. He clearly had them on the right track. They were improving and acquiring young talent. That is what we realistically hope for at this point (rock bottom). Acquisition and development of young talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denali Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 2014: 2-12 2015: 3-13 2016: 4-12? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
helimachoptor Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Same as last year, just looking for progress, with a good Fa and draft we should be heading towards 8-8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nash Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Very difficult to get out of the bottom, but with some more young talent who knows.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OILERMAN Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 11 minutes ago, Nash said: Very difficult to get out of the bottom In the NFL it's actually pretty easy to get out of the bottom. Does any other league have teams go from worst to first as often as the NFL? The Texans were 2-14 a few seasons ago after going 12-4 and went 9-7 the very next season, there are tons of other examples Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 What's the example of a team that was consistently below average for an extended time, then hits rock bottom for two years, then makes a big jump in one year? Can't think of one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I'd say 7-9 is realistic in the AFC south. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remember The Titantic Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Not expecting much. Poor coaching staff+terrible ownership+talent-less roster-fan support=1-15 record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justafan Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 This is a great year for a rebuild of the roster though. The Titans have nobody worth mentioning leaving in FA, enough cap space to sign anyone they want, they SAID that the owner is going to be willing to spend aggressively in FA (we'll see), they have a good location and a QB and DL to attract FAs, they have the best position in the draft, and they own rights to the #1 waiver wire. This is a huge test for Jon Robinson and while he won't be able to completely revamp the way they grade and everything this offseason we will get a big glimpse into his priorities going forward and what he looks for at certain positions. Mularkey has to do what he's promised to do. Fix the offensive playbook so it's easier to get plays out, make his minor scheme changes, but above all fix the protection schemes. If you can take sacks from 50 down into the upper 20s/ lower 30s then i'm probably happy with Mularkey despite what the win/loss record is on the field. If he does that, chances are it's pretty good. Jason Michael and anyone else has to get with Mariota this offseason and work on some minor things to get him moving the right direction. That's what i'm looking for. If they move the right direction in bringing in talent, fix the offensive scheme, improve pass protection for Mariota, continue to improve on defense and cut down on broken plays even when the player is in position then i'll be happy regardless of how many wins. I think Mularkey needs to win 9 in order to avoid big time criticism and win back the fans. Not saying he'll do that, just saying that's what he needs to do.

ctm Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Even if Robinson is able to fix the holes in the starting 22, there is very little, if any, depth at any position group. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansfb Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 We are the Jags/Raiders...probably more like the Jags. So, 5-7 wins, unless Mariota plays like a HOF QB and no serious injuries on D. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
