    If the continuity doesn't favor a lot of guys on the roster right now, they need to go... it's not like we are loaded with guys we need to keep. All but a few are expendable.

    Finding a new GM, HC, and QB all in one year is virtually impossible. Well, finding them is easy, but finding good ones all at once is the hard part. I like the idea of starting with a new group, but it's not realistic right now IMO. Who are even the HC candidates right now? Poor Ray Horton was on his way to becoming one of the top HC candidates until he joined this mess. He interviewed for some HC jobs in the offseason.

    And I know you hate Mettenberger, and I'm one of his biggest supporters... No, he wasn't amazing by any means, but he far outperformed most rookie QBs, not just this year, but altogether. And he did it less than a year removed from ACL surgery and on a team that is crap with or without him. That's why I want to keep him as the starter for now. There's potential there, whether you're willing to admit it or not.

    I'd like us to draft a QB... just not in the 1st. I might change my mind, but I'd rather take Cooper (who I consider to be the one can't miss prospect in the draft). Then we go OL/defense the rest of the way... but I admit I would be tempted with Gordon or Gurley in the 2nd.

    I'd rather wait another year and draft Connor Cook... if things with Mett don't pan out.

    I understand both of your points, and I know Tommy won't fire him, period. BUT, if the franchise really does get sold this offseason everyone is getting canned, for sure. The new regime will want their own HC, possibly GM(although I actually think Webster is doing okay).

    If we really get the #1 pick overall I fully expect the team to be sold. Ol' Tommy Boy will get a lot more with the pick attached to it, because likely the new owner will already know who he wants. Even with the #2 I think the team gets sold and we get a new head coach. Every new owner wants their own coach.

    I found myself rooting against this team today. And not for draft position. I think I'm actively starting to hate this team.

    First time I have ever bet against the Titans was tonight! I feel dirty, and am in need of a shower. There really isn't a whole lot to get excited about really. The draft is it, and that just tells me how far the fall has been. It has been years now. I was actually a bit excited for this season- thought Locker would finally show (dumb ass), thought Whiz would flash the O (dumb ass), thought the D would make at least a bit of an impression (dumb ass).... it really is hard to root for the product that it is the Titans right now. At least I made a few bucks and can take my lady out for a nice dinner tonight.

    The Raiders also pick very high every draft and what does it do for them? You are one of the pretend fans who would rather be 2-14 than 8-8 for the higher pick.

    Why would a coach who can't beat horrible teams be allowed to stay around? We lose to the worst teams in the league!

    You make an interesting point. I hadn't quite seen it that way, but it is there. You also have to give some thoughts to teams that have turned it around quickly through the draft. The Colts come to mind. Sucking for Luck worked fine for them. Terrible team drafts a QB after a terrible season and turns the curve rapidly.

    Simply put we have hardly any talent on this team and this year it showed big time...... whoever in this organization thought we had talent on any phase was dead wrong and needs to go. It comes down to coaching and scouting as well as the gm. I am tired of Webster and want him gone. Whiz gets a pass but just one as I am sick of how many challenges we have lost due to his dumb decision making skills.

    Last night the announcers made an interesting comment about the Hags, saying that the Hags have drafted "high" in the draft for the past eight seasons. It shows, as they are better than us this season LOL.

    I think that if FO and scouting talent are taken out of the picture, having a higher draft position should help in theory. In reality, however, teams are bad for many of the same reasons that make teams bad on draft day as well, negating any draft position advantage that they may have.

    It should not be lost on folks here that there are teams that are continuously in the upper echelon of teams (Patriots, Packers, Steelers to some extent) that seem to be able to stay in the upper echelon by either drafting lower in the draft or making strategic draft day moves to position themselves for success. That is what we should be clamoring for here IMO.

    I just really wonder what this team would have looked like at this point in the season if we had essentially been injury free?

    We are decimated with injuries....its ridiculous. I dont know why anyone is expecting anything more from the team given how bad the Oline is and the fact that we are pulling players off Craigslist to fill the roster each week.

    I fully expect Whiz and Co. to go get the players they really want in several positions, both through the draft and FA, and I fully expect the team to be much better next year. I think Mett has shown he can be a starting QB but he has to have some help around him like any other QB in the league.

    Two things last night that I was most upset with...the long run in the second half for the TD...THAT was unforgiveable.

    The other is Wright's inability to catch a ball and then run after the catch without falling on his face. The guy is spastic on the field. I dont know what the heck his problem is but he is worthless if every time he catches a ball in space he cannot make a move without planting his facemask. They need to get him into some yoga or ballet or some freaking kind of class to teach him balance and flexibility. Dang.
