Bulluck4dmvp Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 This is 10x worse than the Chicago kicking situation last year and they were (rightfully) evicerated for it. The failure falls upon all parties involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepingTitan Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 PK asked about the kicker problem in the offseason. He asked about it at start of season. He's been putting that thorn in all year. Vrabel bites his head off every time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're trying to get Succop to quit so they can save $4.5mil. If he can't play due to injury, I think they owe him the money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvyablue256 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Why wasn't PK raging like this over Mariota pissing down his leg for 6 straight weeks? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvyablue256 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 This was Mariota's 2018. A putrid second half of the season. PK picking on the kicking situation is low hanging fruit. He should be picking on whoever decided not to hold a camp battle for the QB1 job, especially after these performances after the by week.

This is a lot more clear cut and ditching a kicker is no where near as monumental as benching a guy who was the face of your franchise for 4 years. There is no excuse; they've botched the kicking situation royally and it's directly cost us at least 2 wins. This is absurd and I don't know how a blind spot like this develops.

Yeah I get it...and I agree, but everyone with eyes could tell it was time to give Mariota his hanging rope. There was at least some kind of appetite to move on, otherwise they wouldn't have signed Tannehill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both were horrible, self induced decisions that have cost the 2019 team 3 or 4 wins. The media should hold the team accountable just as the fans should. Instead of talking about resting players because the division and first round bye is locked up, we are hoping that the fucking Jets beat a Steeler team playing a third string QB. All because the Titans sabotaged their own team through bull headed idiocy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting pressure on the FO over the Mariota debacle is warranted but it's not going to create a time machine that the FO can use to undo the Mariota decision. PK (and the rest of the media if they grow a pair) publicly shaming the FO into making a change that can help us alleviate the Mariota mistake by getting us into the playoffs.

They brought in the former Dallas kicker last week. So they know there's an "issue" here. Just make the move, and cut Succop and Santoso. It's not that hard. The money is a sunk cost anyway.

All because the Titans sabotaged their own team through bull headed idiocy. IMO, the Mariota decision is an off-season discussion and certainly a valid one to have. That said, diving into that discussion does absolutely nothing for the team right now. Getting the staff to ditch Succoup may very possibly have a tangible effect on actual points in the upcoming contests that can help alleviate the damage that rolling with Mariota did. It's no contest to me in terms of which conversation is more pertinent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The money is a sunk cost anyway. 20.9 M guaranteed on the worst starting QB in football. 15 M plus on Walker for the last two years 12.6 M in dead money for guys like Kline, Cyprien, Urban, Grassu, Santos, Dodd, Gabbert, etc. Maybe eating 4.5 M in dead money on a contract you did a year ago for Succop looks worse with that lens.....
