    Please name one person in the NFL that actually has those measurables. Exaggerations aside, we are talking about changes in the last few years, not over the decades.

    Ok, I did exaggerate. Calvin Johnson is 6'5, runs 4.3, and has a 45 inch vertical. It would be hard to argue the fact that we are a one-dimensional running attack when Vince is on the field at this point. Hopefully his throwing accuracy and targets improve sooner than later.

    ball control (no giveaways) + solid defense (with takeaways) = solid team. Period.

    A solid team does not make them a Super Bowl contending team.

    A solid run and pass game gives you a ball control offense. The best teams consistently have one better than the other but for the most part have solid offenses period. Remember when McNair was chucking it downfield and hitting McCareins and Mason, Eddie was still here with 3.5 ypc we still didn't go to the super bowl, Mac9 got his MVP and the Titans still got beat in the playoffs. Its not that Fisherball doesn't work, it's offensive balance that this team lacks. If we get Young to perform like McNair did in his 3rd year as a starter and White/Henry/Mcfadden...(j/k) to run like george they will be fine the defense is solid so don't jump on Fish if in 2 years this team is 10-6 10-6 and keeps losing out in the 1st round of the PO then maybe it's time for a change.

    So your argument is essentially that

    a. The Titans use Fisherball.
    b. The Titans didn't compete for a super bowl this year

    So therefore, Fisherball doesn't win super bowls? I'm confused.

    Jeff Fisher = Loyd Carr of the NFL. Unfortunately though, the Titans don't have the standards that should cause him to lose his job.
    He'll never learn either. Sticks to his guns year in and out.
