    Lets look at the positives.

    1) Isaiah Wilson. He's shown the calm under pressure to not jump from a balcony, the confidence and aggression and fearlessness to do donuts in the middle of a downtown intersection after having a few beers, and the resilience to survive double Covid. If he can harness all that, he can be special.

    2) Kristian Fulton. More sacks than Clowney, more interceptions than Byard, COVID survivor.

    3) Darrynton Evans. Had a sweet 9 yard run. Has 21 times as many rush yards as Jonnu.

    5) Larrell Murchison. Has as many tackles as Isaiah Mack and Teair Tart combined.

    7) Cole McDonald. Hasn't bothered anyone on the team all season.

    7) Chris Jackson. More TFL's than Rashaan Evans. Most productive CB named Jackson on the team in 2020.

    ...and in that brain of yours that has you thinking about this after the last 2 weeks, not just today’s game or with the Titans the current #3 seed and sitting at 8-3 with a very favorable schedule to finish you don’t think COVID had an impact on that? No minicamps no OTAs. No impact at all?

    I know I mentioned it weeks ago and got roasted for saying that. Everyone said it was too early to call it, but right now it’s not much of a contribution from the rookies.

    This is a weird thread.

    @steverife, thanks for the winning post and the most optimistic outlook on this dreadful bunch (early as it may be)

    Go ahead and nail the FA class too.

    What are you trying to say here? That this is not the worst rookie performance the Titans have had because the team is doing pretty good and because of Covid? How does that work?

    In that case, which year had a worse rookie performance?

    Also, if covid had an "impact" how come other teams have been getting strong performances from rookies?

    Apparently some people think the rookies cannot be considered bad because the team is in first place and covid lol.

    The season isn’t over. I think we will see contributions from pour rookies, but my point with the fact we are in 1st place is that they weren’t needed.

    Please List the teams that are getting strong performances from their entire rookie class please. Then please explain what your overall point is.

    You never answered this question

    The point is, this group of rookies has been bad, probably worst in franchise history.

    You think the rookies are "not needed." We have had two OT go down with season ending injuries and you actually think the first round OT has not been needed. Missing one of the starting CBs but the second round CB is not needed lol. This is what you are saying.

    Teams getting production out of rookies (which you think does not exist). I will list a few:
    - Jags, one of the top rushers in the league is a rookie. He is just one rookie doing well. But the team sucks so...
    - Chiefs: who are better than the Titans. Leading rusher is a rookie. Other than their third round pick, their draft has produced more than Titans picks.
    - Saints: Even with only 4 draft picks they are getting production. They have a starting C and a solid rotational TE out of the group.
    - Seattle: also a good team, picking low. They got a starting OL and some defensive contributors.
    - PIT: no first rounder and better than the Titans. They got a good WR, a backup OL who started some games and a rotation LB.


    There are more, but I mostly focused on good teams.


    Now, answer my question. In which years did the Titans have a group with a worse performance. Since that is the original point.
