    Lol Mett walked in as a starter? Hmm that's news to me. Because the depth chart had Mett as a 3rd string player.

    Recent drafts it is hard to argue that sankey has been a total bust. The first rb taken in the draft. Hunter pick and trading up was a bust. And to me drafting a guard with a top 10 pick warmack has been a bust! We cannot seem to develop or draft oline, running backs, and wr's. It was interesting that if this has all this talent, at the trade deadline the only players that got any attention were delanie walker and McCourty.

    And this year we drafted a fullback in the 4th round. Even in Poutasi case there were much better prospects on the board and he was a real reach in the 3rd round. We have 2 top ten picks on an offensive line that is arguably in the last five in the nfl. Webster needs to go to

    I understand what you're saying, I guess what I meant to say was that those guys are the same guys as when drafted, zero improvement or development. The funny thing is Mett was Whiz' boycrush when it came to QBs. But he got him killed just like all our other QBs before tossing him aside for his shiny new toy.

    Whiz just has a terrible track record with young QB's. Outside of Big Ben really. Player development has been a problem for a long time here in TN and I hope whoever the next guy is can change all of that. I just want to win again and look forward to every game on Sunday's.

    For those that question whether Webster should be fired, take a look at this pic and give me a good reason he SHOULDN'T be:

    Those are the results of 4 drafts under Webster. Even if the jury is still out on the last 2 (its really not since we know what's there in most of those guys), the first 2 aren't very good at all.

    Because compared to the drafts of arguably the best team in the NFL, it's not bad. The only reason NE's draft looks a little bit better is because they have more success with their OL, which I attribute to coaching and scheme more than talent.

    That chart obviously is skewed towards players that have stats. Obviuosly OL and defense don't stand out, so it minimizes the impact of a franchise LT etc.

    Honestly, I didn't even look at the stats. Don't need to. Most of those picks suck.

    Lewan is good...but still not great and he's the best of the bunch.

    The team is better than the record...but Webster tries to "out smart" people by making random picks that don't turn into studs.

    This team needs change from President on down.

    So looks like we are split on whether Webster should go or not. I'm on the fence. Don't really care either way. Probably leaning to keeping him one more year. This year bought his the extra year. But, looks like a decision wont come until after the season no matter what. Strunk must have been pissed at both, but Webster was able to save his job and have Whiz take all the heat. Guess he blamed Whiz for not developing his players. Now, we see if someone else can. I am not sure if he and Malarky are paired together here, but they might. We have 8 games left. I think if we are able to win 4-5, they both have a chance to stay.
