He has a legacy at New England and is the most beloved player in their franchise history. They wouldn't let him go unless they felt like the end was basically here. Choice is Toms. And guys like him don't consider what they've done to be their legacy. They consider what they WILL DO to be their legacy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanruss Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 3 hours ago, SleepingTitan said: Lol at washed up Brady. You can sign Brady and guarantee production, not fuckups, draft a QB to be mentored. Tannehill ain't gonna mentor somebody that will take his fucking job after he signs a long-term deal. Brady will do it for legacy. I think he wants to be a coach one day. Brady has never mentored anyone. He wont start now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 What's also interesting is that at the beginning of the year the scenario of signing Tom Brady was a welcome dream. Following Tannehill and Brady's performance this year it's now a nightmare. OILERMAN 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OILERMAN Posted January 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2020 I added this in this thread but it's in response to the Vrabel thread about starting Mariota so long with @BudAdams and @IsntLifeFunny I think there is a damn good chance Robinson's original plan was to play out this season with Mariota, not sign him and get Brady after this season. I think there is a good chance Vrabel and Robinson had a wink wink deal with Brady and that's why Brady structured his deal like he did and sold his house. Robinson knew Mariota wasn't taking the Titans anywhere and obviously didn't think Tannehill would be this good either. Had Tannehill not exploded it would have likely been the best plan with this roster. Two things happened though, RT played elite and Brady bombed out. Robinson isn't stupid, he knew MM wasn't the answer. What he didn't know was RT was pat, Supdawg, prometheus, and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the same thing that for better or worse Mariota would get the season and he would trudge us through another 9-7/8-8 type season with mediocre play on the back of the defense. He totally shit the bed, which in hindsight was a gift. I understand Bud’s point about being pissed off the move wasn’t made sooner. I think in the end if they pulled the trigger for Tannehill and he bombed they would have been out of the job, so for better or worse they decided to give him one last shot, which was likely mandated in some form from ownership. It’s a tricky situation that somehow worked itself out beautifully. I give credit to all involved that we successfully put MM’s career in the trash heap while making the Championship game after a 2-4 start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think Robinson’s plan was to waste the season with Mariota to appease ownership? Add in no confidence in evaluating Tannehill’s abilities?
