Question: Why are Titans a "Super Bowl Contender" while we are laughing stock?

And we draft players like Chris Cooley, Samuels, Sean Taylor, and Brian Orakpo, so what's your point?

And when their contracts come up, WE re-sign them. Tennessee and teams like them let those players walk and seem to have a younger, cheaper version ready to take their place. Capisce?

That's not necessarily the case with the Titans...and, of course, should we let any players walk then that means we show no loyalty. But when other teams do, it's smart business.

The point is that Tennessee isn't known for splurging for free agents the way we are. It's not to say that we ignore the draft, just that we rely on the free agent market more than the Titans do, and it costs more towards the salary cap.

And I'll bet money the Titants don't make Chris Johnson the highest paid player on offense when his contract comes up. RBs don't win championships. My GUESS (facts be damned) is that the better run teams don't put as much money in as few players as we seem to do, which affords them the luxury of depth. If so much money is tied up in Haynesworth on D and Portis on O, I would think that hurts our ability to have quality depth at as many positions, so when our ALL-WORLD draft picks want to get paid, we have no choice but to pay them. Steelers, Pats, Titans, etc. seem able to let those players walk without skipping a beat. Again, just wild speculation on part. Don't care enough to back up my argument with petty facts;)

Well then I'm wrong and it's all coaching. Who knows? They just do more with less I guess. Hey, I rhymed!

Loyalty? Eh. I think fans would get over it if we let good players go and had an equal or better player ready to take their place for a lot less. Fans know it's a business. Letting good players go and continuing to lose is not as forgivable.

Did you see some of the reaction to not re-signing Demetric Evans?

Easy answer:
Jeff Fisher is one of the best coaches in the NFL, JZ unproven at all levels
Titans: 13-3 last year, Skins 8-8
Titans: One of the best personel teams in the league

Titans always seem to have a legit shot under JF.

It's only one game, but what I saw last night was that the Titans pass rush has paid dearly for the loss of AH. They may have a "younger, cheaper" version in there now, but sometimes you get what you pay for.

Personally, I'm not really on board with the whole NFC "Beast" thing. Dallas is very suspect, and we're just mediocre right now. Philly could make a case for themselves, and the Giants are right there with them, but have some flaws here and there.

I actually think the NFC North might be the best division. Chicago, Minnesota and Green Bay are better than the top three in our division.

I find this hilarious, the NFC East is by far the strongest division in football...no doubt!! You gotta be kidding!! And dont forget to add Detroit to your equation.

I agree 100%. Jeff Fisher is what makes them a contender.
