San Fran has done a lot of things people around here hate -- traded for and paid a ton of money for a RB, paid their big name WR, etc. You have to put your quarterback in a position to succeed. You can’t do that by consistently asking them to make 3rd and holy shit all day, every game. Our only hope is for Vrabel to rethink the heavy early down run approach. It’s his one fatal flaw. And it’s not just Henry - we continued to do it with Foreman, too. cenj, and IsntLifeFunny 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudsOilers Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Big difference was that Purdy played much better in the second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the sign of a good coach and offensive scheme, when you can draw up most of the successful plays. All your QB has to do is execute and Purdy is competent and confident enough to do it IsntLifeFunny, and Number9 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Titans were sitting on the same big contracts plus AJB, where do you find money for Simmons, Tart and others. rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rns90 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 The real question is whether or not the DAL/TB winner can provide enough of a roadblock to stop the inevitable SF/PHI NFC Championship game. It's a lot more open in the AFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not enough talent on this team to have the dilemma of letting go a franchise cornerstone to sign another.

What we witnessed is what happens when you pair a great play caller with a roster full of weapons and a placeholder at QB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Purdy is the next Tom Brady -- I imagine they could have inserted 50 other QBs and still would have won today. I think QBs matter and exceptional ones are the easiest way to compete regularly. But my stance has always been that the system and situation has a ton to do with whether or not a QB makes it. And likewise, bad situations can make good QBs look rough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you feel great about where the Titans currently are with an aging above average QB no OL no OC and a couple of promising rookie weapons. oldschool, IsntLifeFunny, rns90, and 1 other 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to some others in another thread, that's just the type of personnel to entice Tom Brady to sign here!

Luckily for them the NFC is incredibly weak outside of Philly. Are there any young, elite QBs in the NFC right now? It’s wild when you look at the AFC: Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Herbert with fringe guys like Jackson and Lawrence. It sucks we have to play in the AFC right now. rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
