Not really a surprise. Bud is paying Vince alot of money and was the one who made the final call to draft him. Truth is, Fisher has never wanted Vince and only played him his rookie year after Collins got injured after starting 0-3. Fisher also did not hesitate to pull Vince after 1 half of bad football in 08, but wont pull Collins after 6 weeks of sucking. The double standard has been noticed by the entire sportsworld.

You're joking right? Vince hasn't even been mentally stable. Last year he was talking about killing himself. How can you have someone in the game playing with that going on in someone's head. Jeff was looking out for him and trying to get him help. If you are trying to pull the race card remember how much Jeff loved Steve McNair. I would love for you to pull up a old article where it says Jeff didn't want Vince.

I really hate when owners involve themselves in coaching decisions.

Funny thing though, I actually kind of agree with Adams here. The Titans are going nowhere so given that they'll need to make a decision on Young at some point, why not try him?

The answer, most likely, is the same answer as the one regarding Fox and Delhomme. A coach in "save my job" mode isn't interested in the future. He wants the best established player, and at this juncture that's still Collins.

Yeah it's actually a shame you don't get Jeff Fisher announcing he was going to play Young to see where he's at as this season is a loss.

Or Fox going with Moore as Jake has serious problems.

Would reflect better on the HC IMHO.

There was an interesting revelation in the radio hissy fit recently thrown by the wife of Floyd Reese.

She stated that on two previous occasions, Adams was set to fire Jeff Fisher. It was Floyd who saved Fisher's job both times, a kindness Fisher repaid by forcing Reese out in a power struggle.

If Adams goes down that path again, will anyone save Fisher this time?

Fisher is the only retread I could conceivably be talked into supporting as a Fox replacement.

But in the end, I'd probably still say no.

I've never been a fan of Fisher.

He has been at it a long time he looks burned out, if he were to replace Fox I hope its after a couple years off and some time spent on the beach.

      Build up the Dline, just like the Oline

      Gambling in the first three rounds just makes the building effort longer. So you have to weigh that into the equation. Ultimately, you want to get to a situation where those picks net you at least one starter/starting caliber player and two very good rotational players(at LEAST) almost every year. That can get us back on track. So if you are having to just take a raw gamble in those rounds, versus a guy that can help you win games....I don't think we are in a good spot to be able to afford to do that. Definitely not year after year.

      I mean, someone has to start. If we are rolling out Brycd for 17 games in 2025, I suppose that means we will get to watch the rebuilding process all over again. You can try and get another veteran QB in free agency but they will also have a salary attached.  If you want to take a gamble on another young and bust QB, that's fine but that also likely leads to more rebuilding after the 2025 season. Those guys so rarely pan out. So what is left? Draft a QB? Sure, maybe. But this isn't an impressive QB draft on paper and they are going to be walking into a challenging situation. Dalton as starter in 2025 isn't waving the white flag, IMO. It's just acknowledging that we have to start attempting to build a franchise.  That said, I would never be giving out $20+ mil contracts for older QB's(Flacco, Dalton, etc). That ship has sailed.

      I guess bottom line is we need to give Canales a shot at His QB. However they find it.  Ideally we would sign an undervalued vet that Canales knows what he is getting, and start looking hard for one we can grab at good value and groom. And for me it is okay to burn a pick on a miss just don't cripple your future. Hitting on your other picks should allow for a long shot every so often.
