PhinFan1968 Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 8 minutes ago, VanCityTitan said: Ohh... @PhinFan1968 had already kept going on his own! Good shit! Tannehill has definitely forced the Titans hand/check book on this one. I didn't even bother reading the whole article just because I cant see how this isn't a risk the team jumps head first into at this point. I was skeptical the first couple games like everyone else im sure...but like my best friend @tgo stated its starting to seem more and more like the Titans and Tannehill are a perfect match as far has the players skill set and our offensive system/philosophy. Now I'm just going to enjoy the ride...no matter how long, or short it is! Tannehill was already a highly-rated play action QB, and this scheme/planning seems to make good use of that. Henry is a MONSTER, and that helps quite a bit. I REALLY want to see the Titans sign both of these guys to longer deals. They may have a special chemistry with those two and AJ...I'd like to see a few more years of that at least to see how far they can take this thing.

smokeater Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 To me, the much higher risk is not paying him after he had success here, and then watching him lead another team to the SB. That would be a fire everyone in the front office felony offense. Screw that, I'll take my chances with the guy throwing darts right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pragidealist Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 If you’re a Titan fan, you’re excited and have no problem laying down that bet. But it’s still a bet and far from a sure thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supdawg Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Fuck the stats. Tannehill is playing lights out and it's my eyeballs that is telling me that. He's checking into great calls, he's distributing the ball to multiple people. He's taking calculated chances. He's running and making first downs. He's been super impressive and it's not even debatable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OILERMAN Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 It doesn't matter, he's getting a long term deal and there isn't any other option. He's also getting a very big contract. The Titans struck gold, you pay him, period. If it blows up then so be it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoshimitsu Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 At best, Tannehill was held back by Gase, bad team, and/or injuries and he's way better than most thought (or he's magically had the light bulb go on). At worst, he's a game manager that a lot of us wanted. Both versions are significantly better than Mariota--just one is a better value than the other.

Who saw coming what he has done in NO? And when it started, were there idiots saying "stats show he wont keep it up"? Now Brees is one of the best QBs of all time. Matching a QB like Brees up with a offensive genius HC like Sean Payton was a match made in heaven. They developed a system that works and just got the right pieces to execute it, similar to Brady and Belichick. The Titans offense is built for a guy like RT. I think they built around MM's skill set and he couldn't execute it. The Titans playaction is deadly because RT is a threat to run it and his accuracy on those short underneath throws is killer. Gruden's comments about the Titans offense were very complimentary. He more or less said they were very hard to defend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we could get the next Mahommes or Watson even if it meant that next year was a bit of a struggle would you do that as opposed to paying Tannehill? Much higher risk going that route but the payoff is higher...a rookie QB on a 5 year rookie deal is a great situation to be in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think others may have alluded to this. Mariota should have been playing with this same mindset of “fuck it.” I believe too many of the numerous coaches drilled into him that INTs are worse than disappointing his parents and that was on his mind every pass.

Titans279 Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 Mariota wasn't even letting it rip his rookie season. Remember his INT free streak in training camp? He was always too risk averse with the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
