I will keep this short and SWEET......
Get Tyrone Calico out of here he cannot stay healthy and cant produce squat he has been here 4 years and done nothing to contribute and had nothing to contribute. I know he came off two major knee problems and just constent nagging injuries and continuous dropped balls and I just do not see the point in trying to stick with him we need to get on the Free agency train and pick up someone quality.
I am an MTSU grad and have met Calico on a number of occasions he is a good guy no doubt but a good guy will not help us get victories and I am just sad to say his time was cut short cause of his knee problems and I just do not feel he will produce and when you dont produce you need to be cut either way this is going to be a long long long long long long long long long long long and I am afraid very quiet offseason for the Titans even with money to play with I just do not think they know how to use it and we will end up releasing more people and getting no one just as usual. I hope they prove me wrong.

first of all he has officially played 3 years.
but he played 1 game last year.
you dont come back from knee surgery just like that, you need a year atleast to get back to it and one of Calico's advantages was his speed.
second of all there is no need to release him, we save no money and he is cheap.
thirdly he wont be cut.

Clearly he had better do something or he will be allowed to seek other oppertunities - Welcome to AFL2 Tyrone
I agree with you TC this board is so full of sugarcoaters you would think we would all have diabetes by now.
It's always the same "It's not easy to come off a knee injury" Hell whats does that have to do with your fingers and palms?
Calico basically isn't cutting it no way around that nor is Brown or Woolfolk they all need to be let go in place of some guys who will stay healthy. Catch and hold on to passes, Run hard like a RB should, Not lose their jobs to 7th rounders.
Until we draft quality players, cut our conditioning staff we will continue to see seasons such as what we saw in 2004 and what we are seeing now in 2005.

I couldn't tell from the Tennessean what context Fisher meant when he said that Calico can't stay healthy enough to get on the field..I mean was this a Jake Schifino warning?? My bet is we pick up a free agent speed receiver, and Calico has to fight his way onto next years team
it's harder to catch the ball if someone is right on your tail because you cant get seperation.CriticalTheory said:
He can't catch regardless.bigtitan53279 said:
Excuses run rampant on this board the guy simply can't cut it when will people realize that.
When he gets hurt next year you guys will say the same damn thing while we have the same or worse record. The Jags and Colts will be in the playoffs and we won't because soft a** players who get hurt every year.
how is getting hurt soft?
you cant choose whether you want to get hurt or not. It just happens and you cant avoid it.
You can stretch all you want you can still pull a muscle.
You can strap all you want you can still strain a ligament.
You can condition yourself all you want you can still tear muscle.

Good idea IF you could actualy predict who the "soft" players are going to be. There are very few RBs who don't get hurt occasionally. Some of the best back in the NFL have had season ending injuries at some point in their career. Henry was supposed to be the more durable of the two backs and he has been hurt more than Brown this year.
In your analysis why not give us a list of players the Titans should go after in the draft so you can follow their careers and see if they are both good and durable. Not that easy picking college kids.
Calico looked pretty good until the freak knee injury. He WILL be in camp competing for a job next year. If he continues to drop passes and can't stay healthy he might not make it through the final cut. It would be stupid to just cut the guy.
Same situation with Brown. Brown was a 1000 yard back last year with the best YPC in the league. Trying to say he all of a sudden stinks is ridiculous.
I do think he and Henry should fight it out for the starting spot next year which means we should keep Henry IMO.
Look, he may never be a better receiver, and that's another argument. But the Titans are not going to cut him. He's fairly cheap and has a ton of potential. Only a fool would expect the Titans to just cut him next year.CriticalTheory said:
He knows that he is competing for a roster spot next yr. Usually you expect your #5-7WR to play special teams which Ty doesn't. Brandon Jones recovery could play a factor. If he is PUP listed then Ty might get a reprieve if he finds himself behind Bennett, Roby, Williams, Wade.
Well I know they cut Justin Mccarins who was just bad *** in WR and Punt returns he was productive and we cut him hoping Calico would step in has not happend regardless of injury for 3 years he has been about as productive as the fans on the sidelines or in the stands. Even Jeff Fisher regreted making that move and I really just dont think this franchise has any idea how to handle free agency. He has this "Potential" that has never shown up so you saying your willing to just keep him cause he is cheap if thats the case we will be not better now then in 5 years.
I gotta go with TC on this one.
But it doesn't start or end with Calico. McNair is the best example. Every week it's something new or something old, but McNair will be held out of practice for something. Last week he couldn't pass because of a chest muscle, that's a new one. But everyone continues to back him. Its always 'his injury' or its 'the other guys fault'. I've got news, as long as you back McNair, count on a loosing season. He was good for awhile, but he's old. Montana, Marino, they were good too, but it was time to go.

I agree they arent going to cut him because he isnt that expensive, but I have no clue where everybody still sees this potential in him. I understand he has been hurt, but when they drafted him it was a pick based on potential, because he wasnt an NFL ready received when drafted. He couldnt catch his rookie year when he was healthy. He might have all kinds of athleticism, much like Woolfolk, but that athleticism doesnt automatically translate into a superstar NFL receiver, and I have seen absolutely nothing in Calico that would indicate he has tons of potential. This was a guy drafted on his athleticism and speed, and the hopes they could make him into a receiver, and it hasnt happended and I dont see it happening. It was a gamble that Floyd and Jeff lost, in the same way that Woolfolks athleticism hasnt made him a big time CB. That being said, I do agree he will be back because there is no sense in cutting him, but I dont think he will be worth a damn.
His prototypical size and athleticism alone means he has a ton of potential. But just having potential doesn't mean he'll ever live up to it.
I do think he can still improve. No, he's not going to be a stud like TO as we all hoped coming out of college. But I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt since we basically have nothing to lose in doing so.

2003 was a hit or miss draft:
Woolfolk
Calico
Brown
Long
Nickey
Williams
Three seasons later, it's officially an epic miss.

I agree with you that we should keep him for another year just to see what he does. His situation reminds me a little or Marcus Robinson. Robinson certainly never became the player everyone thought he would be because of his injuries, but he as turned into a serviceable receiver, and hopefully Calico can too.
