    And FYI, since McNair left, this franchise has barely been .500 at 138-136.

    So again, by name, not what their actual performance was.
    I’m not questioning any of these guys status historically or as a career, but on the individual season is which they produced numbers that were not top 10 QB within the same year that they won a SB.

    The same can be said for some of the random names with huge career years that resulted in part of a SB team. With that in mind, literally any QB could potentially s**t out a Mark Rypien year or a Brad Johnson year. When the team around them is built, you still can have a crap Peyton Manning/Brock Osweiler combo or a Steve McNair, or a Trent Dilfer that end up representing the winnings SB team.

    Im Suggesting that too many people live and die by this idea that you MUST have a “franchise QB”, whatever that means since no one want to try defining it, when the proof is there, you do not. At this point, you never actually denied that, it was simply an argument about what % of likliness this could happen.

    Ok, and he still reached the SB and fell 1 score short of the “greatest show on turf”

    We can either put that on the QB “success” or recognize one of the greatest Ds of all time.

    Edit: Misread your post.

    The team since McNair left has also been #1 seed twice, has had zero “franchise QB” I think, and has reached the postseason 6 times, 1 conference game. This is middle of the pack which doesn’t speak to the other teams with long term success and their lack of “franchise QB” not does it even explain how TN got to the SB with McNair unless he’s a “franchise QB”. I might agree with that last part if I knew what a franchise QB was.

    And we were 1 and done both seasons that we had the number 1 seed, despite having a dominant defense both years. We lost primarily due to poor QB play both games. It's like it's a trend or something.....

    What’s the trend?
    Was the “great” “franchise QB” against Balt?
    Was it possible that QB in totality had less to do than the specific outcome of that particular game against Cin?

    the great Aron Rodgers also went 1 and done the same year? While Matt Stafford ended up winning.
    So I guess the anecdotal evidence there is you do not want a great QB, you want Matt Stafford.

    claiming either ratbird PO loss was because ratbirds had a great QB is stupid


    for something to be true... its opposite must also be true

    cant just say Titans loose cause bad QB... have to also prove Titans loose because other team good QB

    I much prefer the idea of drafting Hendon Hooker in the 2nd/3rd than spending a ton of draft capital to move up and take Stroud or Young. I know Hooker is injured, but when healthy he’s as good or better than both of them and won’t cost nearly as much.

    I mean, any other year you're right.... but frankly I'm tired of us taking dudes injured during the draft process...... it has worked out for us one time (Jeff)

    Corey Davis and Caleb Farley being the forefront in recent memory...

    Given there is no way we will even be in the discussions around the top 2-3 picks I would not be disappointed if we snag Hooker in the 2nd or 3rd. Could be a steal like Henry was.
