He can’t play QB. Nor can anyone else on this roster

Ridley's issues go well beyond the QB play...he hasnt got decent separation since 2020 and he isnt being force fed inefficient targets in negative game scripts like last yr to cover it up...

QB play aint helping but he's washed as a WR1 in his age 30 season

How does optics matter in professional sports? Players are going to play for whomever gives them the best deal and a chance to win so I can't see how trading Henry would have hurt them. Keeping him and getting nothing when he left sure hasn't helped.

Great Athletes also want not only this is the best deal, also this is where most likely they can be on a stacked team that can realistically win a championship.
The great Cubs player did find greener grass with the expansion team that is the Diamondbacks which did have a memorable great season in 2001 since they defeated the AL Goliath that is the Yankees.

Randy Miss signed with the Patriots in hopes of winning a Super Bowl championship.
It nearly happened in the 2007 NFL season except the Patriots lost to the fearless long shot Giants that achieved the unforgettable giant upset in the 2008 calendar year Super Bowl.


By stacked team I do mean it’s strong for defense, offense, the kicker is reliable, and the Starting talented QB has proven very reliable for being able to make critical clutch plays consistently, gives the team the best chance to win, has a winning record in the regular season, etc.

So unlike Jerry Rice that was still very fruitful in the 90s and in 2000s for the Raiders, Ridley is in he’s no longer a deep threat wr like he was for the Falcons even though the Titans can still rely on him to catch the football and make pretty moves.

Anyone else think the players that recently were traded or left the Titans organization felt like they were liberated from football purgatory? Would have said He'll, but they still hot paid big money.

I think Amy Strunk will eventually get bored in a couple of years after she derails the franchise and will sell it while riding off into the sunset.

It sucks playing for a team that is limited and not winning or competing..... Of course they feel like they're in a better situation.

It makes about as much sense as being a heterosexual male and asking other hetero males if they like boobs too......... Of course they do!

After watching the games, I can't help but think about good players getting drafted by bad teams with a toxic culture problem that could be related to ownership. I sort of wonder if Trevor Lawrence was drafted by the Steelers instead of the Jags, would his playing career be on a different trajectory?

If Joe Burrows played for the Chiefs or the 49ers would he already have a couple of Superbowl rings? Would Peyton have as nearly tings as Brady if he hadn't wasted most of his prime on the Cokehead's franchise (Remember that cokehead ditched him and had the coach and team tanked when he thought Luck was the next wunderkind.)?

Basically talented players never reaching their full potential, because they are trapped on a bad team while in their prime playing years.

Culture problems are inherently difficult to resolve. Panthers, Jags, Cowboys, Browns, Jets, Lions, Washington just to name a few. Detroit has it figured out and Washington looks like it is on the right track. Seems to be directly tied to the coach. Get the right coach and the rest seems to follow. Ownership has to be on board as well, so the Cowboys and Panthers will continue to spiral downward.

Amy needs to sell the team. Then a proper re- structuring can proceed. They're going to have a nice, big new stadium they need to fill with satisfied fans. Organizational overhaul is needed

I disagree. New ownership isn't a magic fix. Just needs to hire football people and let them do their job. I think she has done that, jury is still out on Carthon. This is her father's legacy, I really don't see her selling.

An organizational overhaul is needed regardless. I didn't say she would sell. I said she needed to sell. The results of the current owner and GM are weak. Carthon is young in the job, therefore, I'm not saying he couldn't stick around. It would have to be in a level down from GM. She and the league have the say so to whom she sells the franchise. Finding the right owner(s) would be important
