You guys or the Titans

I"m not here to start fights I promise. Just want to know from your perspective which organization is in more trouble right now; you guys or the Titans?

I think you guys aren't very far away from turning it around (better QB play and you'd be at least .500), but the two situations are very similar as it looks like both teams have sort of quit and lost confidence in their coach.

Peace.

Both teams are learning the same lesson: if you're not growing (adding quality starters and depth in the offseason), you're dying. Last year means nothing unless you won the Superbowl.

Having a good year + making no meaningful ugrades = not having as good a next year (or in the case of the Panthers and Titans, being much, much worse).

Having Saints trolls on here like him just give me more reason to root against the Saints. It's a law of nature that what goes up will eventually come down. It happened to us this year and will happen to the Saints at some point as well. Maybe not this year but eventually. I will be there when it does. Paybacks are a bitch.

What a fun year for football! The Panthers are definitely my favorite team, but I have sort of adopted the Titans as my AFC team.

I do think Jeff Fisher is a better coach than John Fox, but still, it's always a lot more fun to watch Carolina. Also, if one of the two teams were to turn things around and make a run this year...I could see the Panthers being the one to do it.

If Delhomme could string together a few good games and a little confidence, this Panthers team could be mediocre. Tennessee is a whole team full of players that don't even care anymore.

Although the team really sucks right now, I try to look at it with a bit of perspective:

1. The defense has gotten a bit more solid over the past few weeks.

I think there has been steady improvement with the addition of Tyler and Hollis Thomas.

2. Our Quarterback really sucks.

No need to elaborate

3. There is not a WR threat other than Smith.

Couple 2 and 3 together along with coaching mediocrity (I am being kind) and we have a recipe for disaster.

This can bbe addressed if the FO has the gumption to do something in the offseason. Not really sure if the the FO then will be the FO as it exists now but I would think some personell decisions will be made in the offseason to address these areas of concern (I personally see 2 WR and a new QB on the roster next year with Muhammed and Jarrett not being here). The panthers will not be superbowl contenders next year but I do suspect that they will be competitive.

This year, if any, is proof positive of that.

The Saints have been a bad team far more than a good one. Perhaps that's why so many of them lack class in bragging about this season. They're just not used to it.

(This doesn't apply to all Saints fans -- just the obnoxious ones.)

Apparently that's the knock on our fan base as well. We are all spoiled and feel entitled to more success than we deserve because we haven't really "suffered" like they have. But whatever, I know I as well as many other Panther fans are not like that at all.

So you're asking who is in more trouble: the 0-6 Titans or the 2-4 Panthers?

Uh, 2-4 > 0-6 so the Titans are in more trouble. Here are a few other reasons they are in more trouble:

1. Kerry Collins (been there, done that).

2. Vick 2.0 is the backup QB.

3. You don't see John Fox parading around in a Falcons jersey.

4. Double Trouble has made a few appearances, Smash & Dash are MIA.

5. We haven't lost by 59 points (yet).

But at least they'll have a top five pick in the draft if not THE top pick. My bet is on Tampa though for that one :)

    • some of my favorite mocks i do are trading back with Indy or Miami, but not Arizona, as that lets Hotlanta pick before us.
    • Carter, Graham, and Hunter for me. Other than that I'm listening to offers. Hell, I'm listening to offers anyway. I'm not doing the Gettleman thing of submitting the pick immediately. If the phones are ringing there's no cost to listening. Maybe someone has an offer so good that I can't refuse.
    • These numbers do not measure a player's prime. Do these numbers include OL pulled up from the practice squad for a game or two then cut?  Do they include players who might have been injured or cut for reasons other than they were past their primes?  The average career for an NFL lineman is 3.63 years, and that is because there is a lot of turnover--regardless of a player's prime. In fact, if only 55% of Offensive linemen drafted in the first round succeed, then the failure rates of most offensive linemen drafted and undrafted would be much lower, cause them to skew the average age of the OL.  This suggests that most players' retirement from the NFL is not based on their prime, but other factors.  They are cut, released, injured--and that is based on their level of play compared to others, not their levels of play within their personal skill range--something that peaks during your prime. In this case, I was talking about Moton, an elite offensive tackle, one that avoided the factors that shorten careers unrelated to their primes. I identify Moton as the team's best offensive lineman on an impressive OL--that distinguishes the type of player being referenced, so I did not provide a lot of qualifiers--as you didn't with your stats.   In this article below, one that evaluates established Offensive tackles, it states the following, which supports my comment:  "Most elite offensive tackles start to decline at roughly the age of 32 if they haven’t already."  So to say that Moton was at the end of his prime was not a reach or careless speculation.  If a player has the skill to be competitive and they can avoid injuries, their career expectancy is much higher than an average of all offensive lineman on a fluid roster. https://www.milehighreport.com/2017/2/27/14724674/age-wall-for-offensive-tackles-nfl
