What even happened to Wilson? That boy needs Jesus.There is a pattern of "higher risk, higher reward" when it comes to picking players with injuries. Sometimes they work out (Simmons) and sometimes they don't (Farley). As for others, Isaiah Wilson is sort of the anomaly....by all accounts he should have been a great pick and then all of a sudden forgot work ethic and desire to play football. That almost never happens at this level.
:biglaugh:
He probably still street racing and crashing cars somewhere.What even happened to Wilson? That boy needs Jesus.

Almost all his success has come from one decision, hiring Mike Vrabel and I give him credit for that, but he’s terrible at evaluating talent which is his main job. Any other coach besides Vrabel and this team would be a dumpster fire.Well its hard to argue the team success since 2016, JRob is a large part of that.
Winning season every year that he’s been the GM
This season looks like playoff trip 4 in a row and 5 of 7 years.
Prior to JRob, titans had 6 playoff seasons entirely (17 years)
You can recognize some success while also still knock his failures. There really is a giant middle ground.
Sure it might help, but let’s also pretend the titans have been beating top tiered teams each season as well, 2021 probably the best example.It also helps that the AFC South has been pretty bad in most of those years, as I recall 2018/2019 the only time we had a strong division.

yes, Vrabel has been an excellent hire despite all the downing talk, Vrabel doesn’t have this success without players put on the field via JRob. FA, draft, re-signing, etc, that’s not Vrabel.
look at the current defensive lineup and say JRob had nothing to do with their repeated success.
That's depressing.
Just put someone else in charge of drafting lol let JROB handle free agencyFor every Farley whiff, Jrob finds 3-4 seemingly random street free agents that turn into big time contributors. Edwards Jr, Walker, Adams, Hilliard, etc.

Let him walk like the other stud AJB cause “couldn’t afford him”.Conklin>lewan tbh
I mean, that’s legit. The titans couldn’t afford Conklin.Let him walk like the other stud AJB cause “couldn’t afford him”.
It’s the hindsight people suggest letting Lewan go instead.

Yeah, coaching gets too much credit/takes too much criticism sometimes. Ultimately, the players on the field play the game and win or lose. Unless the coach does some really stupid stuff and puts the team in no position to succeed (looking at you, Downing.)
Maybe some but not most. I remember discussing a lot about why you’d trade so much draft capital for a 4 yr OL.I mean, that’s legit. The titans couldn’t afford Conklin.

I don't agree with this. We're talking evaluating human beings here. And "talent" is only one (major) part of the evaluation process. There are a lot of people with natural talent who never make it in the NFL or other major leagues and others with less talent who manage to make a nice career out of it due to other factors like work ethic, durability and occasionally a bit of luck.
I'm "old enough to remember" Tennessee Vols fans just a short time back not being sold on Jalen Hurts as a good QB. He seems to be doing ok now.
I ain't sure we couldn't afford him, think the decision was he's coming off of injury, and we decided to pay big for the "Clown Car" and "Beasless"I mean, that’s legit. The titans couldn’t afford Conklin.

Imagine how good this team would be if the 2020 and 2021 1st rounders weren't colossal busts.
Panda was just a ridiculous kick in the balls...Imagine how good this team would be if the 2020 and 2021 1st rounders weren't colossal busts.
How the savings was spent is certainly open for debate, but had they signed Conklin, there would have been zero effort into the DL.I ain't sure we couldn't afford him, think the decision was he's coming off of injury, and we decided to pay big for the "Clown Car" and "Beasless"
Hindsight says that would have been better than clowney/Beasley.
I still have faith Farley will come into his own and be solid. Plenty of players didn’t blossom until later in their careers. Adam Theilen, James Harrison and Kurt Warner were all practice squad guys for years.

He's literally taking players off the Jags practice squad, who have been in the league for years and they are suddenly playing like all-pros.
I'm not convinced that is down to JRob.
All UDFA's not a first round pick at a position we saw as a need at the timeI still have faith Farley will come into his own and be solid. Plenty of players didn’t blossom until later in their careers. Adam Theilen, James Harrison and Kurt Warner were all practice squad guys for years.
