    This is probably the most astute column Kuharsky ever wrote

    Why do Titans fans embrace so many mediocre players? http://es.pn/1qopCYh

    Um, they already had Mathews and Sharpe and drafted Davis and Taylor AND signed Decker. I think its safe to say they plan on having more than two on the field regularly.

    As much as you guys botch and complain about the Titans front office not bringing in talent, it's laughable that some of you are ok with Weems being our 5th WR. A guy who has no business being on the field unless it's a special teams play. For as much crap as you give DGB, he had more catches his rookie year than this chump has over his career, it's pathetic.

    This guy is gonna be active every week too, just keep that in mind when we could use someone else up.

    And 2017 was supposed to be our BIG offseason lmao. The excuse next offseason will be we have to extend Lewan and can't spend money on anything other than special teamers..

    This sht is funny

    Poor special teams hurt us more last year than poor WR play. Even if WR is more sexy than special teams.

    Special teams is more important than the number 5 WR.

    1.) who else is suppose to be the fifth WR a day after we had to put 2 WRs on IR?

    2.) You're right about having to pay Lewan and it limiting spending next year. But that's why we drafted our next hopeful WR & CB vs paying a high dollar price tag for one in free agency.

    I fully buy in to Jon Robinsons methods in this whole thing, put the hater shades down real quick so you get to enjoy the ride. The fact I even get to say that this year is a huge blessing.

    We will compete most weeks, try to appreciate that..

    First of all, let's get the fact that Weems isn't a WR. He's a specialist, as good as a long snapper.

    Second, if you can't get one of the 11DBs you kept to play gunner, they probably shouldn't be on the roster either.

    There is zero upside to this move

    Zero upside to an over the hill underachieving WR aka Douglas

    You're missing the forest for the trees.

    Ostensibly, Weems wasn't a necessity at gunner or the variety of st positions he played or they wouldn't have kept him so in the front offices opinion, we have better...Tye Smith, Curtis Riley,....? I would also have put McBride in that category.

    We have a ton of players who can be good gunners but what we DONT have is a viable option at we if Decker misses time with his ankle and Davis tweaks his hammy. Will we be forced to play 2 WRs and 2 TEs vs nicel and dime Ds on 3rd and long because we have a st guy as our 5th wr?

    Not a good idea. Seems we have a similar issue at ILB with Bates and Palmer being st guys and Brown is more of a coverage guy until he learns to take on blocks better. What happens if Woodward gets banged up?

    Our st's better kick butt this year and I don't just mean Adoree returning. We have more money, talent and roster spots for sts than any other team in the league.

    Hope it doesn't hurt our offense or defense as we are paper thin at a few key positions!!!

    That's not even the argument I'm making, however Douglas is at least a WR. And he's only a few years older than Weems but has over 260 more receptions.
