I really don't want to drop out of the top 5. How did all these teams get so bad? How does Joe Schoen still have a job??? The Titans have about the same record but fired 2 coaches and 2 GMs in 4 years lol

Amd our hall of fame offensive line coach quit mid season!

I actually agreed with Cosell's pre-draft sentiments on Shough.

 

Cam was obviously the clear-cut #1 QB in last year's draft....but based on the various QB prospects I had watched on film,  I felt Shough was the 2nd most NFL-ready QB in the '25  draft......despite Shough getting far less attention and media hype than Dart, Shaduer, and other QB prospects who most folks ranked ahead of him.

 

And sure enough,  when draft day rolled around, Shough ended up being the 3rd QB off the board behind Cam and Dart....and  50+ picks ahead of the next QB taken (Milroe).     (I was actually hopeful that the Titans might land him as a developmental QB in the mid/late rounds....but of course, he was obviously gone long by then).

 

I haven't watched the Saints at all this year.....I'll be interested to see how Shough is coming along.

Shough had some issues going into the draft (injuries, decision making under pressure) but it was clear he had the talent to play in the NFL at least as a quality backup

I think he was the most nfl ready. His issue was what is his ceiling, good backup, Journeyman, Midd level starter?

He looks pretty good but with the age and type of QB he is, I’d probably say we’re close already to his peak of QB play. He kinda reminds me of Andy Dalton

 

Definitely a safe bet to be a decent NFL QB

Good.

I've lived in the Cowboys market for most of my life and it is fucking annoying as shit to be force-fed Cowboys and their division rivals.  And that shit works.  My dad was an Oilers fan and he now roots for the Cowboys and Saints because those are the two regional teams.  It may take a decade or two, but teams need to enforce these rules if they want generations of fans.  (My dad isn't the type to put in effort to find a different game; he'll watch whatever is on the local channels.)

Starting to see more of this from the National NFL Media with Daniel Jeremiah and Nate Tice among others putting the #1 Titans need being a high pedigree WR to help Ward above everything else.

Steve Smith also released a video and had the Titans at #2 most needy WR team.

 

Time to get carnal for Carnell.

A lot of people here vastly underrate the need to upgrade the WR position. It is hilarious reading through the gameday threads watching everyone cursing at all the drops and inability to separate then a couple of days later the same people devising offseason plans which involve adding more day 3 WR and off casts from other teams in FA as a viable solution.

 

I'm in no way suggesting WR is the only need this team has but it is right near the top with EDGE and CB.

We could have had a number 1 wr and number 1 edge, but nooooooooo. We needed to beat the browns and kc's backups so the team wasnt sad.
