He didn't succeed in Arizona with significantly more talent than he would've had to work with in Tennessee. Do you remember the cast of receivers that the Titans had then? Justin Gage, Roydell Williams, etc. Garbage.
McMVP pulled a stunt by showing up to training facility in that manner. Buss Cook tried the same stunt with Farve and msm called him out on it.. .with Titans msm cried the line you are spouting...
No, I don't blame Mac at all, and it was deplorable how his time with the franchise came to a close. Look, I'm not BLAMING Mac and Mase for leaving, even for leaving to become Ravens, I'm just saying that as a Titans fan, it svcks that they both ended their careers as Ravens.

I was not at the time, I definitely wanted Vince. He was just such a dynamic player in college where I literally watched him win games almost by himself - that OKST game comes to mind. It was as if he willed the Longhorns to wins - and I grew up hating the Longhorns! And he had some great moments here. But looking back I see now how the road was literally paved for Leinart, so yeah I'd like to view into that parallel universe where we took Matt.
Agree with this 100%. I completely believe that Fisher absolutely did not want VY to be his QB.
Vy could have been dope if we built a team around him and didn't try to pigeon hole him into being a traditional pocket passer because that's what Fisher wanted. Frustrating.
How dare you disparage the memory of Brandon... Brandon... Brandon... uh... um... Brandon... Johnson? Jeffries? Brandon James? Brandon Britt?
(looks up 2005 Titans roster)
JONES! Brandon JONES! How dare you disparage that... um, that guy!?
OR mr 'aints nobodys gonna teach me nuffins' dude could have accepted the opportunity as it was not how the Diva wished it was. But we all now know single digit wonderluck boy was incapable of doing this
I disagree but understand the excitement around VY. His highest upside as a QB was never going to be very high regardless of the other 2. Hindsight now tells us that he just wasn’t in the same league as Cutler and he should have been the choice.
Wasn’t Calico there too? He had that 1 time where he looked like an NFL WR.
I think Bud had an effect on the diva-ism. That was Bud’s guy all the way for both the draft pick and forced starter before ready.
my memory of situation
Reese wanted Cutler
fishface wanted Leinheart
Bud wanted VY.... Titans went with the guy that signs the checks
I thought Fishy wanted cutler too but it was all rumors.
Bottom line, bud Adams name.
According to this, Calico WAS here in 2005. I'm not a huge gamer, but my favorite NFL video game of all-time was Madden 2005, and I would turn Calico into a BEAST in that game. What could have been...

No way that's true. I remember that draft well because I was SOOO excited about Steve McNair, and the only names I remember being discussed were McNair, Kerry Collins, Chad May, and Kevin Carter.
It was true, he never wanted McNair. Reese overruled him
HOUSTON: Floyd Reese, the general manager, loves Steve McNair. Coach Jeff Fisher wants defense. Long Term: STEVE McNAIR, QB, Alcorn State.
Pree good for a titans qb in general. Considering the roster and especially the oline he has had that's pretty real good
These kinds of stats are so misleading, IMO. His QBR is currently 36.1 which ranks him 29th just ahead of Bryce Young and lower than Mac Jones.
Levis is a work in progress. He clearly has all the tools to be special. But he made some bad decisions yesterday including missing a wide open Hopkins for an easy TD which would have blown the game open. It's to be expected from a young QB but, IMO, he's doing enough to cool the draft a QB talk right now and, hopefully, will totally remove it by seasons end.
