Nash Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Lots of discussions today about Kyle McCord being available in the 3rd or early 4th.. I could see signing Mac Jones, trading back for #3 or #6 plus more picks including a 3rd and 5th , #1 next year pick also. Then drafting MCord in the top of 3rd round to develop.. Then you could get an edge , a Rt, a developmental qb, and the rest on defensive players.. oldschool, bizzyeddie, and titanskick8851 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has loads of starting experience and has backed up as well. BudsOilers 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleNinja Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 So, I asked Elon Musk what he thought and he replied... === The Tennessee Titans should consider several factors before deciding to sign Sam Darnold as their quarterback in 2025: Performance in High-Stakes Games: Sam Darnold's performance in critical games has been a point of concern. In the Vikings' biggest games of the 2024 season, including the Wild Card round against the Rams, Darnold struggled, throwing only one touchdown against one interception and taking nine sacks. This suggests he might not be the ideal choice for leading the team in clutch situations, which is crucial for a team like the Titans aiming to rebuild and compete in the playoffs. Dependence on Supporting Cast: Darnold's success in Minnesota has been attributed largely to the presence of exceptional talents like Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and a supportive offensive system under Kevin O'Connell. The Titans do not currently have receivers or an offensive line of comparable caliber, raising doubts about whether Darnold could replicate his performance without such support. This is highlighted by opinions on social media suggesting that without a stacked roster, Darnold's effectiveness significantly diminishes. Financial Considerations: Signing Darnold would likely involve a significant financial commitment, potentially in the range of $40 million per year. Given his history and the context of his success, this could be seen as an overpayment, especially when the Titans could use that cap space to address multiple areas of need or draft a new quarterback with a much lower salary cap hit. Several analyses suggest that investing such a sum in Darnold could set the franchise back years if he doesn't perform as expected outside of Minnesota's system. Long-Term Strategy: The Titans are expected to have the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, which presents an opportunity to select a potentially franchise-altering quarterback like Shedeur Sanders or Cam Ward. By choosing a young quarterback, the Titans could build around a rookie contract, providing financial flexibility to strengthen other positions on the team. Signing Darnold might be seen as a short-term solution that could conflict with long-term team-building strategies. Risk of Regression: Darnold has had a career resurgence in 2024 with the Vikings, but there's skepticism about whether this level of play can be sustained, especially if he moves to a new environment without the same level of support. His past performances with other teams like the New York Jets and Carolina Panthers were less impressive, suggesting a potential risk of regression in a less favorable situation. Given these points, the Titans might be better off focusing on drafting a new quarterback or exploring other veteran options that might better fit their current roster and long-term plans.

Very similar blend of build, speed, athleticism, and bend. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more wasted 2nd and 3rds trading for QBs who have very little chance of working out. tgo 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more wasted 2nd and 3rds trading for QBs who have very little chance of working out. I think a lot of guys who would have been 2nd or 3rd rounders 10+ years ago are simply drafted in the 1st round now as well. No way would guys like Anthony Richardson or Bo Nix have been 1st rounders back in the day. One because of the need and lack of supply. Secondly, with the rookie salary cap you can draft one and toss them out quickly. Levis and Willis should have honestly been 6th rounders, Willis undrafted. Teams are so desperate now they just draft them and try and build the offense around them. bizzyeddie, cenj, and smokeater 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryBoats Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Vrabel is going to be full of himself after drafting Carter -who will inevitably be good- with his first pick. That's going to lead him to doing a bunch of dumb shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
