    There is no one on the roster who stretches the field more for the Titans than Taylor. So, IMO, he's already a factor and can be a major one if he can begin to pull down more deep passes.

    Not to mention, that makes signing a slot receiver on the first day of FA a really dumb thing to do.

    I would be extremely annoyed to see a lot of 2 wr sets this year.

    I think the fact that acquiring Hump was the first move JonRob made once the tampering period started is PrimaFacie evidence that all the narratives about what Vrabel intends to do this season are false.
    I have no doubt they'll run Henry, but they know they can't ride him into the ground early in the season.
    But this team hasn't had a dedicated slot guy since 2016.

    People act like this guy has no place in the league.

    This guy needs to work on his Ts.

    I've been a TT believer, and have great hope that he would make a big step forward in 2019.

    But as a Titans fan, I have repeatedly learned the old adage that you can hope in one hand and poop in the other, and see which gets full first.

    I'm glad with brown that at least we have another option, in case the other doesn't work out, and depth in case of injury.

    It's a far cry from the rosters of recent past.

    I absolutely agree with this. But his issue is consistency. Not talent. One of those can be overcome with experience, and the other can be elevated with experience. He's headed on the right track. I just hope he reaches his ceiling.

    It's going to be real hard for TT, CD, or Brown to reach their ceilings until Marcus or the next guy reaches theirs.

    I honestly thing the last couple years, both positions have been retarding the growth of the other. Maybe this is the year it takes off.

    Good lord Spain looked so out of place trying to block in space. I still see alot of potential Taylor but it is on his shoulders now to improve those hands. I hope AJ puts pressure on him to use his hands and not his body

    Jrob did not use a 2nd round pick as insurance for if Taylor doesnt improve. Brown has his role in place and unless he struggles with the playbook this team is not going into next year relying on Taylor to start opposite Davis.

    So the same team who apparentLy got it wrong with Taylor, got it right with Brown??? How did they become so much better at evaluating players?
