For his sake I hope not. They need a whole new organization! They’re happy continually striving for mediocrity. Feel sorry for some of the players on the team, as the admin and coaches are determined to put a product out that will not win championships.

Your right I have never seen a coach let the O-line get that bad in the NFL.

Probably had a contract thing coming up next season, Philly was looking at it as a purely financial decision,

Hope he can get to a team with a grass surface and get a few more seasons in the league, he was always fun to watch play aggressive defense in Neyland, he's a Tennessee guy from the get go,

The wild thing is the Giants and Commanders might have even worse lines than the Titans. Blocking right now is losing against the pass rush all over the league.

Lack of high-end physical talent. I said it when he was coming out. He's a good player because of his hustle and desire not because of his physical tools. These physical limitations caught up with him in the NFL.

Don't **** on him too much there D4H, he has still made nearly 30 million in the NFL and still has some decent years left.

Crazy how this board thought he was better than Garrett

It was crazy. But I get it to a degree. Fans tend to be delusional about their guys. The problem was we should have been delusional about Dobbs, Kamara, and Sutton instead. I think Barnett's stats is what made a lot of Vols fans think he was better than he really was.

It turns out physical tools are more important than college stats in the NFL. Dobbs, Kamara, and Sutton succeeded because they had NFL athleticism while Barnett didn't succeed like them because he lacked athleticism.

Never had any negative feelings toward Barnett. Wish him nothing but success. I just was being realistic about his physical limitations. He's not a twitchy athlete. And it's typically the players with elite athleticism that succeed in the NFL.

No one is more delusional about players than you. No one. Dobbs is having some success this year, but was never the player you claimed. Barnett has succeeded much more so than Dobbs. It's not close

QBs have a longer timespan in the NFL than other positions. So bet against Dobbs at your own peril. If anything this season should prove to you that's he's exactly the player I said he would be given how he's performed in his first true chance. How was I supposed to know that coaches and front office personnel would overlook him for nearly 6 straight years?

This is Dobbs first year as a true NFL starter and he's been the talk of the league. I'd say that's a pretty good start to becoming exactly what I said he would be.

You said he would be a pro-set bowler and superstar in the NFL. You're still delusional

And I still do. You wanna bet against Dobbs after what he's shown this year in his first true opportunity?

I don't want to bet against him. Still, he's a journeyman and backup. No one is going to pay him to come in and be QB1. If Cousins opts out after this year, Dobbs might have an opportunity to compete for Vikings' starting role next year, but no way they are giving him a QB1 deal. As I factually stated earlier, Barnett has had far more success in the NFL than Dobbs, who you claimed had more success. That was not only silly, it was ignorant

Idk. We have yet to see Dobbs with a bona fide stud at WR like JJ. If JJ comes back and they make a playoff run, I wouldn't count out Dobbs getting a nice contract. Obviously not top tier contract, but a nice one.
