    Ever since that fateful day in the spring of 2006 when Fisher/Bud/Reese locked the legendary Steve "air" McNair out of the facility this team has never been the same. Despite investing 2 top 10 picks in QBs and bringing in multiple FAs, the Titans have failed miserably at finding the next "Face of the Franchise". In fact, each attempt at drafting the next 'franchise QB' has resulted in a fan base split amongst themselves, and even relationships in the FO being damaged beyond repair (see Bud Adams/Jeff Fisher)

    I think most fans would agree that finding a franchise QB is the #1 most important part to having and sustaining a successful team, and it is the #1 thing that has eluded the Titans for almost 10 years ... and it all stems back to that fateful day in 2006.


    Which brings me to my newest theory on why the Titans are in this current situation ... 'The Curse of Mac9'. The curse says "The Titans must suffer 9 different starting Quarterbacks" before finding the next Franchise QB.

    This is why the Titans have had to suffer so much lately.

    But there is good news everyone ... the curse should soon be broken, and we should be ready to find our Football Mesiah (Mettsiah?) to lead our team back to the promised land.

    By my count (let me know if I missed someone), that is 8 Qbs, and the Titans just signed Jordan Palmer. Which means if CBJ gets hurt and Palmer gets to start a game (fingers crossed), that will be 9 QBs and THE CURSE WILL BE BROKEN!!!

    I know times are tough, but the end is nigh!! We will soon be brought back to redemption behind an unquestioned leader at QB.

    dude... look at this franchise's history.. They've never been tops in the entire Super Bowl era.

    They were cursed before and after McNair.

    You sound crazier than a sh!+house rat. And I'm with you. I can only hope that the curse is broken soon. I don't care where our franchise QB comes from (top of the draft, late rounds, big school/small school). To me all that matters is that we find a guy that we can rock with for the long haul and be proud to call our guy.

    We did go 13-3 after that and the "lock-out" was caused by Bus Cook-McMair's agent. Titans, in this instance really had zero choice in the matter. McNair/Cook had a stupidly high salary on that season...no way the titans could pay out.

    True but Cook/McNair knew there was zero chance of that being honored and were expected to negotiate another long term deal. McNair was on the decline (Look I loved the guy, I have his autograph on my wall) and he and COOK forced the issue.

    Yeah that $50 Million condition on the last year of his deal were f***ing insane. Floyd screwed the pooch for sure.
