    a 2nd year QB is struggling in the NFL? wow he must be terrible, just call him a bust already lets draft someone else. Far as i see it we are not a championship team so all i care about is improvement.

    Some of you armchair coaches have constantly said Mariota has a weak arm and cant throw the deep ball; he's connected on most of his throws this year when his receiver creates separation down the field.

    Then some of you have said he's turnover prone. He has more Total TDs then turnovers. Same can't be said about Peyton Manning, and other QBs their first two years.

    Yes fumbling is a HUGE problem but its also WAYY easier to fix than having a QB like Winston, Jay Cutler, Tannehill, Fitzpatrick, or Case Keenum who actually have weapons and still throw a ridiculous amount of interceptions.

    We are 3-4, no need for hindsight. yeah we could of won some games if Mariota played better, and we also could of won some games if the defense and ST played better, but b!tch!ng and complaining about how this team hasn't shown any improvement just makes you a bitter fan who only sees what he/she wants to.

    We are MEDIOCRE, last year we were BAD. Is that so hard for some of you to understand? We have arguably the least amount of talent in the NFL and have about 4-5 playmakers and yet here we are with a better record than the Panthers, Jets, and Jags, and are tied with several teams including the Bengals & Ravens.

    I don't see any threads talking about how our secondary might be the worst in the NFL coverage wise, how our Receivers literally can't break off from defenders on short routes, how we built a Run-First team and still pass more than run & how our rookies and sophmores are playing better than our veterans. Dont just look to blame Mariota & Mularkey after every single loss, be happy we are actually improving in a multi-year rebuilding process. We are going to go through this for the next 2-3 years so all the complaining is going to do absolutely nothing and dee down you all know it. Jon Robison & AAS are not checking this forum for any ideas on how to run the organization.

    MM has work to do but he is NOT the reason this team can't match up on d with other teams te and wr's. The titans made a guy they cut years ago look like a probowler, ty hilton ran UNCOVERED play after play. Coming into the game everyone knew He was the only wr threat they had...and for some reason we aren't doubling him...soft assed zone the he and luck took apart....and luck truthfully didn't really play all that great....lot's of bad throws...our d line played pitiful...no pressure at all....basically one of the typical titans "mail it in" games in which they showed zero emotion and looked like they didn't give a ****.

    Every year I read that we are in a "rebuilding year". My question is, when was the last time we were considered "built". And second, how have we been rebuilding for the last 5 years with zero improvement?

    At what point of being bottom feeders of the NFL does someone reevaluate the ownership of the Titans? Shouldn't the NFL want all of its teams to be competitive? I don't want to be the Cubs, 70 years without a championship.

    The most current rebuild started last yr with the hiring of a new GM and coach. The talent on this roster is much better than it was last yr and the results are showing that...we have been in every game we have played this yr...certainly couldn't say that last yr...their was no way we could fix all our problems in one yr...I trust in Robinson...he has us moving in the right direction.

    This is what the Browns, Jags, and Lions always say. And now we're saying it. "We're playing close now...."

    Fans have been suffering a LONG time with the Titans. There is NO excuse for the failed experiments of past 12 years. The lone bright spot in 08 was fool's gold, we couldn't beat the Ravens because our players beat themselves and we were one and done. This franchise has NEVER won the Lombardi.

    I'm sick of hearing the sermon about "patience". How patient will the organization be if I say, I'm re-building my bank account. I'll give you a good payment in 2-3 years- I'm in my most current re-build.

    The product is not entertaining. Our franchise QB is in year 2 AND HEADING BACKWARDS. That is the reality. Our HC is a 3 time loser and has the worst W-L record in the entire league. ST's were addressed and remain abysmal. Our ownership is in a dispute with the league and the figurehead insists on the current coaching staff. The team continues to lose the games it should win and can BARELY hold on to the meager wins we have. I'd estimate our margin of victory with 3 wins is the lowest in the league.

    So "patience" falls empty upon my ears. The media needs to turn up on the heat. They and the coaches should hear "You remain the Colts 'bitzches'. You must enjoy getting 'bent' at their will." Their comes a point of 'tolerance".

    Don't anybody tell me to be patient any more. Because honestly, I've become numb to the losses of this chump-azz organization provided by this chump azz ownership. They only offer lip service to their most loyal paying fans. Their is no "loyalty rewards" program. It isn't that hard to figure out.

    Hmmm, the last time I thought this team was "built" was in 2008....

    MM8 just needs more NFL playing time IMO. Another year or two? Who knows, but he has the talent, he just needs experience.

    JRob did a lot of good with this team in the acquisitions and the draft, but he also had some failures. Our secondary is awful and the WR situation didn't pan out like we had hoped.

    I do think that we have improved overall this year and am starting to come to the realization that we may have to wash this year away again and wait until next year to see consistent success.

    I'm a season ticket holder from the beginning and I'm growing tired of being a fan of the Titans. But as much complaining as I'll probably do, I'll probably still support this team through thick and thin, but it is getting old.

    The team has mostly been gutted, we have something like 9 new starters and a 45-50% turnover in overall player personnel

    I think the rebuild now is real under JR

    We have more weapons and more talent on the offensive side of the ball than the Rams.

    Most of what you said is true to a point BUT, poor drafts KEEP YOU IN A REBUILDING MODE... just saying. That being said, we turned over half the roster this past off season... what make you say it isn't a rebuilding year? Also if you don't see any improvement it's you Ray Charles and Roy Orbison. There is improvement, we've been in every loss right up to the end and had a chance to win in every game... hate to tell you this but like it or not we have as many wins already than the entirety of last season with 9 games left...THAT IS IMPROVEMENT.
