    Having no WRs is a REASON, not an excuse.

    After all, Mariota can't pass the ball to himself.

    OH wait, he's done that for a TD already, my bad.

    Get back to me when any WRs not named Sharpe can catch more than 2 passes in a game for more than 20 yards total for 2 games in a row.

    Seriously, the bar really is THAT low.

    Well that’s the easiest question I’ve seen on this forum. Fact of the matter... we haven’t had a QB that can throw to a receiver, consistently, since McNair. Therefore, regardless of how good or bad any receiver we have had since then is, we have not had a QB that can consistently throw to them to be able to showcase whether or not they are a good WR. Fix the QB problem first, then ask about the WR’s.

    It really is head scratching how vs the Eagles LaFluer opened up the play books vs Eagles and we went to Corey many times then last 3 games really nothing. To develop him shouldn't we target him more?

    He takes plays off. Mariota's not going to target Davis when he's making partial effort. Re-watch a few games from this season and you'll see it.

    If that can be corrected, I think Davis could be very good. He's proven that he has the talent, now he needs to develop his skills.

    No, that was the year before. This year they started 1-4. Moon was benched in favor of Cody Carlson who got hurt in a game at New England. Moon went back in and led a comeback win on the road. Oilers won 11 in a row and were the 1 seed. They hosted the Joe Montana led Chiefs in the Astrodome. Turnovers cost them the game.

    Trade a mid round pick for Golden Tate or Randall Cobb now. Extend him, and then sign Tyrell Williams or Donte Moncrief in the offseason.

    Go heavy on interior OLine with free agency and draft too. Grab a legitimate threat to take Mariotas job if he doesnt make it happen with that squad next year.

    I came here to announce he was left off the original list (Tyrone Calico) just because I ran out and bought his jersey because I was excited the Titans finally found themselves a WR!! Needless to say that jersey was probably donated 3 times over to the Salvation Army. Clearance section - the one covered in dust.

    Pittsburgh have always done a great job at finding/drafting/developing WRs. Throughout their franchise’ career.

    Denver has a niche at getting the most out of their RBs even the lesser-known ones.

    For whatever reason the Titans can’t scout or bring in WRs it’s disheartening that D-Mase (even though we all loved him) has to be our best known WR in this franchises history in Nashville.

    Yeah my friend whose a Cowboy fan did just say the other week how the Oilers/Titans always seem to have good kickers that’s true.

    Del Greco days, Bironas setting the all-time FGs in one game record, Gary Anderson for a name drop, Mr Irrelevant has been clutch for us ... etc
