PK: Why do Titans fans embrace so many mediocre players?

I don't remember anyone hanging on to guys like Volek, Mariani or Simon too long

Hell we turn on players quickly around here

I recall hearing quite a few people slobbering themselves over post-leg injury Mariani. He was clearly not the same. 

VY made a pro bowl and didn't amount to shit either. I've been guilty of this myself. Its OK to see fault within ourselves as a fan base. 

Also, don't limit the fan base to TR.

So Mariani's absense was responsible for us going 2-14?

Yes, so much as it was another example of the Titans inability to reload the talent on the team via the draft.

The problem wasn't Mariani, or giving Mariani a chance to recover from injury.  It was the Titans inability to scout and draft the next guy up.

You don't have to worry about it if they don't see it. I'll make damn sure I remind them of it this fall.

No, this is pathetic:

And look, Chiefs draft a good returner two picks after we draft a no-name CB:

Hell yeah I'm nostalgic for Mariani.  Last good returner on the Titans.

NOBODY slurped Reynaud, plat.

Reynaud was the alternative at the time.

I'm referring to 2014 when McCluster and Washington were signed. The moment McCluster signed his contract, Mariani had no business here anymore. 2 straight years on IR means you can't trust him to produce. 

You're proving PK's point.

It's say Titans fans do refuse to give up on mediocre players of late. Much of it has to do with the ability to just assume coaching is to blame but some of it is just refusal to admit how a player is actually playing. Locker, Brown and Ayers come to mind in recent years... some are holding out for Sankey for that reason, even. Poutasi at tackle last year.

It's weird.
