Are The Titans Content With Mediocrity?

I wouldn't mind seeing what Lloyd/Avery could do.

 

Yes it is ok as long as we keep selling out games, buying beers, and going to games. And it is a shame too!

 

I do not think that our organization is content with mediocrity. Fisher may have gotten a bit complacent, and we set our organization back a few years with our previous "franchise QB" choice, but that is just it....we have set ourselves back a few years.

During the offseason NOBODY expected this team to be doing much better than it is now...and that was assuming CJ playing like CJ and Britt...well, playing at all. We are 4-3, and probably on our way to a 7 to 9 win season. Yes, that is mediocre, but it was also expected this season.

We just drafted our new franchise QB, and brought in what was likely the best qualified veteran QB to train him. We got rid of alot of the players/coaches that, despite what folks think, were involved in alot of the turmoil over the past few years, and we are rebuilding. That does not happen in one year, much less 7 weeks.

I think that we finish strong this season, MAYBE even make the playoffs (more a sign of division weakness though). If we have another draft next year as successful as this season's draft appears to be we will be on our way, and far better than mediocre in 2012 IMO.

 

good points! I think the division was there for the taking but I do see the point.

 

I'm late to the discussion as usual but I'll give my opinion. This franchise just gave what they thought was a play maker a 33mil guaranteed contract. Sounds like someone wants to win pretty badly. I think it's just bad management across the board. Our GM is mediocre, our coaches are the same.

Our O line sucks so much partly due to the fact that they decided Kevin Mawae was washed up when he probably wasn't. Now we got Amano in his place. Bad talent evaluation maybe?

I think some people may be underestimating the overall quality of our athletes. But I don't really have any facts to support my theory about that. We have bad holes in certain positions and they aren't being addressed imo. WR in particular. Another thing I noticed is that our run production seemed to get worse with the loss of Crumpler two years ago. Maybe we miss Smash more than some would like to admit as well. Obviously the loss of Britt and the lack of production from our high priced "PLAY MAKER" are two of the biggest problems we have. The instability at the QB position along with the Fisher divorce. The passing of Dinger... Well, if you think about it, this team has dealt with some adversity in the past few seasons.

I also am getting a big kick out of Texans fans who are a game up on us counting their chickens.

 

I thought you were implying he was a #1. I'm all about improving the team, and I already said Lloyd would make us better. I don't think the Titans are content with mediocrity, but we are a mediocre team. There are quality guys in later rounds, afterall, Lloyd was drafted in the 4th. I just don't value him that high.
