I would be a lot more confident in our running game if we were doing more to help our O-line. I understand we have a lot of young linemen and getting them experience is good, but that's taking a big risk for this season. We saw last season how easily it is to be shut down when your running game goes under...
apathy is the name of the game???
(3-13,3-13)=6 wins, 26 losses ... therefore... 13-3 is impossible...
glass half empty without "I don't care" McNair?:hmm:
I need to go hunt that post up...
I asked for your statisical argument King Analyst...
you defered...:sad2:
quit asking leading questions if I have to come slap your opinion out of you.
(honestly don't... I'm an attention whore)
...much like your boy Manning...:winker:
Don't care about underpaying an undervalued, talented qb too much... enough to put the franchise in jeopardy for what can amount to a 1999 Colts team...(loosely speaking)... I need to check for your reply that saysRollTide said:

Ive said all long that Steve gives us the best chance of winning this year and could in 2007 if our new qb gets injured or isnt ready to run our offense at the start of the season. I think we should offer a 2yr deal with an option for the 3rd year. The contract has to be fair for both sides and for the Titans that means the contract has to have a a cap # that is manageable. In the end it will be up to Steve if he stays or leaves. I hope he stays but we cant keep him unless he agrees to redo his contract.

That is a matter of opinion. I know he can still play. The the real issue is that the "problem," isn't McNair's problem is the managements. Mac already has a contract. My understanding is that even if they cut him or release them he still counts towards the cap this year.
He can still play, but I don't think he can still play as well as he did. He counts 23 million against the cap as it stands, but if we cut him, the 10 million he would be paid next year wouldn't count.
How so?MsTitan said:
That's true of most players on the roster right now, and most players in the entire league. That's how a long term contract works...
If we cut him, he wouldn't be paid the $10M at all (at least not by us).GoTitans3801 said:
Billick got lucky with Cunningham. Billick is perhaps the most overrated OC in years.
Regardless of the cap situation, the McNair 'lockout' was classless and an embarrassment to an organization that has publicly prided itself on handling contract issues successfully. The Titans have had months to come up with a contingency strategy for losing McNair if a renegotiation didn't happen, and they come up with this: locking him out of the complex?! You'd think that PR would be near the top of the Titans corporate priority list after two straight sub-500 seasons? Guess not...
I respect Fisher and Floyd, but this kind of nonsense makes me seriously wonder whether their largely successful run is nearing an end. Again, I'm not arguing the cap realities that have so-well explained on these pages. I’m just saying that the Titans blew this one royally and didn't improve things with their luke-warm press release. If you've got to let go of an icon, try to at least show some class. And if you can't do that, how about a real apology?
Last time I checked, Steve was co-MVP a mere two years ago and seems to play whenever he can physically walk from the locker room to the field. But unlike Green bay and Brett Favre, the Titans organization (or at least the uber-Titan) seem to think that disrespecting McNair won't have much long-term effect on the fan base. Maybe not, but there's at least one fan out here who is seriously considering selling his season tickets as a result. If I don’t sell and if Steve goes to Baltimore (or any other team), I will be one of the first to buy his jersey and wear it to the Coliseum.
