    Look, I never even thought the Chris Brown arguement was very solid.

    But you do seem unable to understand the concept of upgrade.

    So keep preaching the Titans do no wrong message. Maybe eventually this website will be a place of only sheep that praise all moves done no matter how insane.

    Your boys Lamont Thompson, Reynaldo Hill, Fowler, and Sirmon all appreciate your support.

    Meanwhile the rest of us die in agony as we watch superior players ride the bench for Fisher's favorites.

    Gunny, didn't you even say you think Fisher plays favorites? How can you seriously think Thompson is better than Lowry or Fuller, now that Thompson isn't in the league but they are? I ask again, why don't the Titans sign Thompson and cut Lowry or Fuller if Thompson is such the superior player? And such an UPGRADE at safety?

    Because Gunny has the weirdest logic ever. Manipulates stats - for instance "30 yards! ohhh 30 yards!" without understanding (well, he understands he just hates being wrong) that a 4.9 YPC average is WAY better than a 3.3. So those 30 yards came on how many less carries??

    Almost 100 less carries to get 30 more yards.

    Oh no Gunny, that's no upgrade at all! hahahahaha

    That stat argues more in the favor of CB, to me. 5 less games and he STILL out-produced him on almost 100 less carries?
    How does that help Eddie in this argument? Even a gimpy Chris Brown bettered his production, and in less attempts.

    lol

    it's such a simple concept you can't figure out. Not surprising though.

    All Chris Brown gave us was 30 extra yards. That is all the matters. That is how much of an upgrade he was. It is irrelevant what his yards per carry was because YPC simply does not get your closer to the endzone. Actual yards do.

    You can argue it all you want, but simple fact is Chris Brown contributed an extra 30 yards. Get a line chart and it will show you Chris Brown's impact in the rushing game was.....30 more yards.

    Quote me once where I've said that.

    What superior players? Bench riders Lowry and Fuller? Kassell? Chris Brown...oh wait, these superior players aren't even starters either. But he they are soooo good we signed/drafted guys to replace the guys they couldn't replace.

    So it's irrelevant that he got way more yards per carry?

    What about the fact that he split carries with Antowain Smith who had 509 on 137 carries?

    Is it ok to say they UPGRADED the position over starting Eddie another year?

    Gunny,

    You are blind to the concept that even a mediocre player can be an Upgrade to a GREAT player, when that great player is on the decline at the end of his career.

    Again, Chris Brown was a better player than Eddie, but all he did was achieve 30 more yards because he couldn't handle the workload and was always injured. Thus he is not an upgrade.

    He didn't split with Antowain Smith. Smith played because Brown couldn't.
    Brown was the starter, Smith was the back up. Smith only got so many carries because Brown was injured.

    Again, the difference was 30 yards. It wasn't an upgrade.

    Again, combined, they UPGRADED the position.

    Geez.
