After seeing Lewis catch that 3 yard pass Titans should have upped the offer

So it’s pointless to have a good RB in the NFL then? 

 

Or we just don’t think Henry is a top/complete back? 

Henry is good for what he does.  But it's not how you win consistently in today's game, by feeding a guy to batter the other team all game long.  It's okay in games like NYG last year when passing was difficult because of the weather but when you play that style too many things have to go right and your margin of error is too small.  I'd say that if you want to make a comparison to how it CAN work look at the Seahawks with Lynch.  But again that defense was historic.  Wilson hadn't even become Wilson at that time as he was mostly a game manager.  

 

Now if he can be a force as a receiver like he was against Cleveland and in 2017 against Jacksonville, that's a different story.

Henry is a closer in the same vein as Blount. That's the best role for him and the sooner the Titans realize it the better.

Yeah except for taking runs for 99 yard TDs or screen passes 75 yards for TDs every now and then.

Every now and then is the key. He had a great run to end the season last year but this year he's been average considering the number of touches he gets. As I've said over the past few weeks, he kills the offense in his own way. Building around him is stupid.

Being a workhorse back doesn't mean that he's a "top back", not even close to meaning that actually

 

How many backs are better? 8-10 at very most?

Henry doesn't kill the offense that's ridiculous.

 

It's still a passing league an QB matters more.  Oh and yeah, the 13-3 Titans were built around CJ but that hardly lasted.
