What happens to Cam? How does that 2011 draft (arguably the best draft we've ever seen) play out? If I recall correctly, the 2nd QB off the board was one Jake Locker. Correct. There's an argument that could be made that someone would have certainly traded up for Cam. Mainly because there's likely no way the Bills would pass on Cam for Dareus. But it is an interesting what-if. It actually could have set off achain that ends with Cam playing with Harbaugh in San Francisco. Which could have been an absolutely incredible combination. Beyond that, as a Titans fan, the 2011 draft is just so sad. That top 11 had nine all-pros, Jake Locker and Blaine Gabbert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2017 class is going to make up for the trash we've had to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking the Browns don't look a gifted horse in the mouth at six and don't move on the trade with Atlanta for Julio. Then again, this was the pre-Moneyball Browns.

lamont Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 9 hours ago, titans0021 said: This part just fascinates me. He injured his shoulder almost two years ago at this point, and they have no timetable for when he's going to play. They spent an entire offseason ensuring the fanbase that he'd be fine and that he'd be ready for camp. And then, when he wasn't ready for camp, that he'd play in the opener. And then, when he probably won't play in the opener, that he at least won't miss the first six games. At this point, I'm having my doubts that he suits up this year with the Colts lying to their fans at every possible turn about his return. With that OL still not addressed like it should be this offseason, he holds the ball too long and the fact he plays QB like a LB. The Geico caveman will probably get hurt again whenever he returns. Just sayin... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ie, why have 1 guy who does it all... when you can have 3 guys who all do a little... at a fraction of the cost?!?!

Doesett with Brady sounds scary. And I like Jacoby. Interested to see if he can keep the Colts alive long enough for Luck to get back. Watch Luck come back the week we play them lol. Also if Jacoby plays well they can trade him for a okay pick next year Another wasted 1st round pick for the colts doe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titans fan 617 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 How do you think the other 2 divionsal games shake out this weekend? Jags at Texans? Bortles almost always has a decent game vs the Texans but last year choked it away at the end in Houston. I'm not a huge fan of Savage it won't be long before we see Watson but with all the damge done in Houston from Harvey I expect the fans to rally around the Texans and for 3 hours on Sunday to give those fans something to cheer about after a life of living hell recently and maybe Savage won't have to be a hero and the defense steps up and Bortles craps his pants so I'll be picking Houston in this one. Colts at Rams? Road game no Luck I actually think the Rams pull this one out. The Rams arnt making the playoffs anytime soon but to their credit even though it was never pretty for a lot of games last year they were pretty pesky and hung around some games. I keep hearing from "experts" that the Colts are better but I'll believe it when I see it. I'm not a believer in Tolzen or how ever his name is spelled. Colts look like crap against everyone else except us so I could see Rams leaning heavy on Gurley and Goff should be able to make something happen with Watkins before he gets hurt and Tavon Austin I'm going Rams for the win it gives the fans of LA hope for a week.

Fiedorowicz, Ryan Griffin and Stephen Anderson. Texans coach Bill O'Brien said it would be tough for any of the five to play on Thursday night against the Cincinnati Bengals because of the short turnaround. The Texans are in real trouble.

Titans fan 617 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Man Titans need to win Sunday bad the division is up for grabs and the Jags are the team that stand in the way of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tntitans4life17 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Sunday is a must win, IMO. The division is so down right now and both the Colts and Texans (the two teams many thought we would be battling for the division) are staring 0-2 straight in the face. Get us to 1-1 and even with the Jags and I think the division becomes much more easy for us. Imagine if we lose and the Jaguars are 2-0 while every other division team is 0-2...NO ONE would've predicted that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitanSlim Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) Surprise, surprise. Brian Cushing got busted for steroids again. I also completely forgot they traded away their 2018 first and second round pick for Watson and to unload Osweiler. The Browns have to be loving that. They could have 4 picks in the top 40 picks of the draft. Edited September 13, 2017 by TitanSlim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
