BudsOilers Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 16 minutes ago, NFL2K5 said: Yeah, Tannehill is capable...But if we're talking about consistently doing that I wouldnt be so sure. I believe in Tannehill. This isnt a shot at Tanney, but what happened against the Chiefs when Henry couldnt get off and we were down and had to go away from the run game. I mean we're like 17-1 or 17-2 when Henry is over 100 yards? Thats a stat we can't over look lol. So why did the offense average 17 PPG with Henry averaging 67 yards/game as the main RB in the 22 games during 2018/2019 before the QB change? Afterwards the offense has averaged 29 PPG over 24 games and Henry has produced at a much higher level (130 yards/game which is elite level).......... The difference? QB play and while we can debate what tier Tannehill is in, he's put up elite production: 111.2 passer rating with 50 passing TD's (7.5%) and 10 INT's (1.5%) with a YPA of 8.4 in those 24 games.......Not to mention 7 rushing TD's.....Oh yeah, the team was 11-11 in those first 22 and have been 17-7 in the last 24....... I'd also add that it's been more than proven that play action, formation, and motion dictate action from the defense in pass/run neutral or early down scenarios. The play action works whether it's Henry back there or another back. Kyle Shanahan, McVay, and LaFluer had an article talking in detail about how they try to have a variety of plays from the same personnel groupings and formation to make the defense play on their heels. Tannehill is far more valuable and it's laughable that people would say otherwise in today's NFL. It's not a knock on Henry but that's just the reality of it.

Tanny a 'top tier' QB? HAHAHAHAHA. Wow. Are you a functioning alcoholic? Without Tanny, the Titans are still a formidable opponent BECUASE of Henry. Without the best running back in football, the Titans become a very mediocre team. I'd love to see Tanny have to play 3 or 4 games in a row with 'the king'. Horrible take on your part. Henry opens up the passing game and makes Tanny a viable QB. The same didn't happen with Mariota because he flat out sucked. He was an athlete playing QB unfortunately. Eric Dickerson & 1983 are on the line, they want their football analysis back.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyitsmeallen Posted December 1, 2020 Report Share Posted December 1, 2020 He will have to get 2k to even have a chance. That is sad, but it is what it is. QBs can have semi above average seasons and win. RBs can be the true MVP of the team, reset the record books, and still not win. They should rename it to the MVQ.

Mythos27 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 If Henry gets 2k I think he's the favorite to win it. He's such a big name and the novelty of that 2k number would make it hard to give to someone else. The storylines with CJ2K and Henry getting 2K in college write themselves. That said, I don't think he reaches 2K or wins it but I think he gets close and it's a hell of a ride. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s going to be playing some bad runs defenses coming up. He will probably go for 200 vs the jags or the Lions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lions, Texans, Jax are all bottom 5 in the league. Green Bay is average.. I think their YPC against is pretty bad. Cleveland I think is decent, so if he has a big week i'd lean towards yes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OilerTitanHybrid Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 We can't say that people aren't putting the MVP idea out there. Seen it a few times today already, from various sources. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a shot, He’s on pace for over 1800 and that doesn’t account for the poor defenses he’s about to face. 3 of the 5 remaining games are against the current 31st(Hou) 29th, (Jax) and 28th(Det) run defenses in YPG, GB is 13th and Cle is 9th. The colts were the best defense he was facing the rest of the year and he put up 178(yes they were missing a few key defenders but they are still the top ranked run defense he was playing the rest of the season) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number9 Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 2 hours ago, AussieTitanFan08 said: I think Titans fans are the only fans in the world who would debate whether Derrick Henry is the Titans MVP. It's laughfeeble. Here we have national media, who we cry never pays attention to our players touting him as MVP of the entire league and there's fans here who don't think he even the MVP of the Titans. "The Titans are so loaded that several players are more valuable than Henry-well at least one." I know what you think, but I'm not making this up.

Oiler FANatic Posted December 2, 2020 Report Share Posted December 2, 2020 What happened to Ryan Tannehill being the MVP candidate since it doesn't matter who his running back is, Derrick Henry or just any decent RB? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
