That's No Moon Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 1 minute ago, TBBills Fan said: With everything considered, I'm in the there has to be more to this story camp I agree, the timing is odd and if were about recent results you'd expect more than just that to be changed. If there were serious friction why extend the guy less than a year ago? He did something to get himself fired. Maybe not something criminal, but definitely something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st&ten Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Well I didn't have time to read thru the whole thread, but I hope the Titans fall apart. Several screwy things with this team, the BS Music City Miracle, their last brain dead owner giving Ralph the finger from his sky box on national TV (big funny joke at the time---no discipline for the Titans. Image if the Bills did that) the covid BS during the !st covid year--Bills schedule was jerked around & Titans had been practicing all along. Several other things also but anyways screw the Titans.

Florida Bills Fanatic Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 They're headed down a dead end road with Tannehill. Even Henry is showing signs of decline. A significant rebuild is needed. It appears to me that they want to get their rebuild done before they start playing in the new stadium that is going to be built. I won't be surprised if Vrabel stays. He doesn't strike me as being a quitter and even their ownership must understand that he is a good coach. When I see a team in this much disarray, I appreciate Beane more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ControllerOfPlanetX Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I found out that Jon Robinson was the GM of the Titans after he got fired… 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then they extend Robinson. Then they trade AJ Brown get off to a 7-3 start. Then they lose to a team that AJ Brown is on....and they fire Robinson (while #1 in their division) claiming, laughably: "“This progress includes the core of our business, the football team itself, which is regularly evaluated both by results (wins and losses) and team construction/roster building,” This is the same owner who, after Mulakey got them to 9-7 and a comeback playoff win vs. the Chiefs, to quell rumors that she was going to fire Mularkey anyway, issued a statement before the divisional game that Meathead Mike was the Titans HC going forward. Less than week later, of course, she fired him. lol these dumb hillbillies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Amy Adams Strunk: "I want to thank Jon for his dedicated work to set this organization on an upward trajectory and I wish him and his family the best." * 🤔 She forgot "Happy holidays".

Treylon Burks is starting look like a good receiver for them… Well for starters, Minnesota traded Diggs and then used that pick on Justin Jefferson. Diggs for Jefferson and Brown for Burks aren't even CLOSE to the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Turk Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Apparently the owner "wasn't happy with the direction of the roster". Interesting the firing came directly after AJ Brown torched them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burks is being paid far less than Brown, which is why the Titans made the trade in the first place. He just needs to be a solid WR 1, which he is clearly on the way to being.

mannc Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 23 minutes ago, Big Turk said: But that hasn't happened yet. You're not making any sense. Brown was traded because the Titans did not want to pay him $20 million/year over the next 5 years. The fact that Brown is still on his rookie deal this year is irrelevant. He's going to be making 10s of millions per year more than Burks over the next 5 years. Burks doesn't have be just as good as Brown over this time frame for the deal to still make sense for Tennessee. At any rate, it's way too early to say that the trade is a fail for Tennessee.

T master Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I live north of Nashville & this is what has covered sports radio this week & really makes about as much sense as when Ralph fired Phillips ! Since he has been here the Titans have had winning seasons & won division championships so every one here is thinking there must be something more to the story other than a few bad draft picks & trades . I know the trade of Brown to the Eagles didn't help him any after they beat the Titans the last week but they are thinking that Vabel wanted to keep Brown but Robinson made the trade any way which may have started a power struggle of some kind . With just 5 weeks left in the season & the very good possibility that the Titan will go to the play offs it doesn't make a ton of sense to have this kind of distraction right now why not just wait it out ?
