    That, in no way, makes you a bandwagon fan.

    90% of Titans fans would be bandwagon fans if that were the case. It doesn't even matter if you had a favorite team previously.

    Dyson was a 1st Rnd pick who unfortunately was injury prone.

    Calico was a 2nd pick

    Givens was a very productive WR for the Pats and a big signing at the time. Freak no contact injury ended his career without us getting a single good snap out of him. Incredibly unlucky.

    We drafted Jones,Roby and Williams in 05

    Britt is a 1st rnd pick

    Cook was acquired by trading a 2nd rnd pick and he's billed as the next Gates in terms of receiving.

    We have certainly tried to get talent to help the QB position. At the moment we seem to have the best WR/TE group that Fisher's had here.

    It's so frustrating that we don't use them.

    WTF happened to Givens?

    I don't even remember the injury at all. What happened on the play? I know he tore his ACL. Could he just not make a comeback?

    He could still be a very solid receiver. He's only 30.

    That, my friend, is either impressive or ridiculous. Can't really tell which.

    He only played a few games.. Sucked, then was seriously injured.. Then he tried to sue the Titans a few years ago.

    Pulled up running a route, no one even touched him but he blew ACL. It was said at the time that it was as though his knee just exploded on him.

    It was so bad he never came back from it.

    And we passed over "he who shall not be named" to do it.

    Long shot. And I'm a Middle fan.

    Very sad situation all around.

    Right. The old "get a bunch and hope one emerges" theory.

    Taken only after Collins was the #1 again.

    I agree. Top to bottom the Titans have the best group of receivers they've had for quite some time though many think they are a very average group compared to most teams.

    Pair that up with an average passing QB and Fisher's philosophy and you get a mediocre passing game.

    Here's the thing... the Titans have not had to play from behind this season. That may change this weekend. If it does, Fisher will have no choice but to pass the ball. I'm sure that'll shed some light on just what the passing game can do.

    I'm out of high-fives, but you may be onto something.
