    Good overview of the blown draft picks over the last few seasons:

    Plus some bad free agents:

    The free agents are from this past season. I think there are many more in previous seasons (Levitre) which are a big reason the Titans are where they are now.

    Though I've not been impressed with Whiz & Co, the NFL is all about talent and it doesn't take a rocket surgeon to see the biggest factor in why the Titans are in the lower 1/3 of the league.

    What are the chances Webster actually gets fired and replaced by someone who knows how to evaluate talent, though? Maybe 10%? Seems to me to be extremely likely that he sticks around and gets to draft the next franchise QB.

    The Draft part is sad, but the Free agent article is the really cringe worthy one. All misses... it stings, and I'm already in "I don't care" mode.

    Pathetic choices all around.

    I don't see why any quality, self-respecting free agent would want to sign in Nashville after seeing this season.

    Hope they get their thinking caps on when it comes to draft time next year. Because the FA market isn't going to cut it.

    Unlikely imo. Tommy isn't a football mind and said he plans on hiring football minds to run this team. He can easily be sold on the "need a year or two to rebuild with whis" idea.

    I think he is here next season.

    Webster is absolutely back next year.

    My only hope is that Whiz will influence him to take better players ... Pretty sure Munch talked him into the Warmack pick

    Man... if we're all just hoping that the crappy GM will somehow be convinced or tricked into not being so crappy.... that's a pretty hopeless situation.

    Never said it wasn't a crappy situation ... I just hope that it might get a little better because there is 0 chance that he gets fired this year

    Can you imagine the backlash that Webster & Co. would have received if they didn't take Chance at 10? Guard was the one and only weak spot at that point (or so we thought).

    Had they addressed it in the 2nd or 3rd round, I think there would be no backlash.

    Then we would all be watching Chance suck with some other team and be glad we didn't take him
