There really needs to be better evaluation when discussing MVP's.

Well this one seems to be over I think I'm heading to bed you guys all have a great night

DeMarcus Lawrence? Anyway my point was is Henry is cheaper now but not after his next contract. Not sure why you brought Jerry up in that comment but anyway.

DLAW was far from a proven player going into year 4 of his contract. He was injured a lot and had a 6 game suspension. Tagging him was smart. I still don't think we should have paid him.......when he pulled that "i'm not having shoulder surgery until I get my 100 million dollars" thing.

 

[Chappy]

Has any QB every win the Super Bowl without throwing for 100 yards in a game?

Trent Dilfer???

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

I consider the exact opposite.

Ryan Tannehill, whom many have labelled and criticised as being a poor QB for several years, has just proved my point and that of many others.

He played with junk at the Dolphins where it was basically impossible to succeed for any QB.

He now plays for a team with reasonable talent, strong o-line and a running game. He suddenly looks like a million dollars.

Imagine someone like Sam Darnold with our O-line and weapons - he has been playing with junk at the Jets yet people refuse to take that into account in any way because he hasn't won many games. He hasn't thrown 30 touchdowns in a season even though he's running for his life behind a truly horrific O-line with his best throwing weapon injured all season and other best weapon not being utilised properly. So of course Prescott is in a different league or...perhaps did Prescott walk into the best offensive set up that a rookie QB has ever experienced...well he won 13 games so let's just focus on that.

Two points that I think are worth highlighting regardless: -

1. Concerning that Prescott is less mobile than he used to be.
2. We were poor on the road this season. A strong running game should travel anywhere. People will put this completely down to coaching but in reality, we went unbeaten on the road in 2014 so there's more to it than just that. Annoying as the Titans are what we should be/have been.

Problem is you're isolating EVERYTHING to QB play. Who's to say what Dak does with TN? Or what we do with TN coaching staff? We had so many issues including incompetent coaching which hovers over the entire operation. Notice how TN CONTINUES to feed their RB and play to their strengths.

wow, a quarterback change and the team wins playoff games.

That only works if you value the backup QB position and actually get a decent backup QB. Dallas doesn't value the backup position, or hasn't for a few years.

 

[CB61]

Our roster was not good, so who cares how many we lose?

That's why I said half of them need to go away if not more still makes me nervous

 

[Silverz1972]

You have a rb at qb and you throw the ball that many times. Obviously overthinking.

 

[tyke1doe]

Either the Ravens had everyone fooled or Vrabel is a fricken genius...

Seeing how the Titans beat the Patriots on the road, I'd say its Vrabel.

 

[Rockport]

Yes this is true. My point was I was so mad because I never get the flu shot and I thought I got the flu, but what I ended up with was antibiotics and an upper respiratory infection. So the flu shot works I’ll be getting it again when the time comes.

That's wise. They don't always get the strain right, but the majority of time they do.

 

[KMY_Amber]

Tannehill is 7 for 14 for 88 yards. Must be nice to be coached well enough that you could win TWO back-to-back playoff games not throwing for over 100 yards.

I guess the Titans defense AND offensive line are both underrated. I know Henry is, even though he leads the league in rushing. We like to think that Zeke is the most dominant back in the league. NOT! At least not with the Cowboys o-line and game plans.

 

[gmb1]

The defenses were the reason Niners and titans won today! Need to get our defense right! Hoping mike Nolan will be the man to do it.

Defense has been the main reason we've lost our playoff games. This QB stuff is a tad overrated. Good running game and defense wins ball games.

Have a good one.. I'm headed to bed myself. G'Nite fellas

 

[Captain-Crash]

awesome defense

 

[jazzcat22]

Prevent D will allow Ravens to score

 

[CATCH17]

There really needs to be better evaluation when discussing MVP's.

All they could do is include the playoffs.

 

[IceStar-D7]

So much for the offense rants always going on in here. Titans have thrown for less then 100 yards last two games and WON! Give me the Oline. Give me Zeke. And give me a physical, smart and great defense? SUPER BOWL!!!!

 

[atlantacowboy]

Jackson is having him a Dak Prescot kind of game wracking up impressive stats when the games out of reach.

No MVP has won a Superbowl in this century. The MVP curse strikes again......

They really had no choice. Ingram was not 100 percent, and the Titans' game plan was to keep LJ in the pocket.
