The Robinson love fest...

It made me think about the guys that said we should target Levitre, then rejoiced when it happened.

On the same note, I think the people that are grading him C or whatever yesterday aren't going to be pleased with anything.

 

You're not wrong.

No one should judge a GM by how aggressive he is. He should only be judged by if the moved work out.

And arguably he should be judged by his success drafting talent and retaining it more than his success acquiring talent in free agency.

 

What,you think you know more than the professionals? You know they get paid to do this right? You know they are way more knowledgeable than you right?

 

Quick! Somebody let RollTide know Jon Robinson is white!

 

Don't forget D'norris Searcy and Perrish Cox last year, we all thought those were gonna be great additions....

So far our biggest holes(RT,NT,FS) haven't been addressed, so I'm holding my breath.

 

Its a double edge sword... People on here are complaining that he didn't go out and get "Snacks", Schwartz, or Gipson. I guarantee those people would be the same ones complaining about us overspending on those three. Robinson is off to a solid start addressing needs with 3 quality players and a below average, but veteran backup QB. Lets wait to grade the off season a little longer then one day into free agency.

 

You have to spend to get better in FA. Extremely rare to hit big on a "value pick". It's OK to "judge" JR on his moves, that's our prerogative as fans. It doesn't mean we're right and he's wrong.

I don't get how concerned everybody is with the contract prices. The cap hit is really what effects our future as fans. And historically, the Titans have been their best when their cap is close to spent.

Hopefully we hit on enough drafted players to find they are worth retaining with big extensions.

We'll see how our needs are met with the rest of FA. We can't really expect any immediate big/consistent returns on our draftees because they will be rookies.

I get everybody wants to "feel good" again. But chill out on criticizing people who are upset we didn't land a targeted D player. We could have afforded it and may well have been better for it. We've been in a talent drought for years around here.

 

weeelll...

There was NO talent to retain that was a Titan FA. The only correct move for this #1 overall pick team is to get some talent here, ASAP.
Aggressive is the only move to make. This team did not have the roster of a winner, still doesn't have the coach of a winner. He HAD to do something drastic to change the look of this team. If Murray doesn't pan out, Robinson surely isn't to blame. It is as solid of a pickup as there could possibly be at this juncture. You have to make some bold moves to change the worst team in the league into a winner. You can at least tell he is really giving it a shot, unlike former management who re-signed Michael Griffin to an extension. That was a buddy/loyalty contract.

 

Yeah...

Historically, this board is like....

Sign CB blahblahblah, but don't give him more that $4 mil per year.
*blahblahblah signs elsewhere for 5 yr/$50 mil*
Argh, our FO are idiots that don't care about winning!
