I know Steve Mcnair wants to return the Titans loves to play and he can still play very well even with the limited ability surrounding him. That was obvious against one of the best teams sunday If that IDIOT Floyd Reese cannot find away to sign him or some how Steve Mcnair ends up on another team which I think he would quit first. However, if something other than #9 is the quaterback for the Titans next year all is lost we will be right at the top of the Draft picks for years to come. If Mcnair is not back who will be quarterback for the future???? Volek??? I hope not he is not a starter a decent back up but not the starter for years to come for the Titans. Reese better stay in his office day and night and figure all this out!!! or he needs to be out. He has cut out the heart of this team by letting people like Eddie George, Derrick Mason, Samari Rolle, John Runyan, Andre Dyson, Jason Fisk, John Thorton, Henry Ford, Joe Salave, Denard Walker, basically that anyone identified as a Titan is now gone I ask that they do no tear out the soul that is the Titans #9 Steve "Air" Mcnair..

McNair has been the QB for the last 2 years and we have rec'd 2 high draft picks because of it. What will be different next year with him as our starting QB?
I do not see McNair as anyones future QB. He might be resigned for next year to help the new QB get started, but McNair is done. It doesn't make sense to draft all these young offensive players, bring them along with McNair as QB, then in two years, when the young guys are getting ready to sprout, bring in a rookie QB. It makes sense to get all the young guys in place as soon as possible.
I to do not believe Volek as our starter. I see him being traded this off-season. He wants a team that will allow him to start, and I don't think that will happen here. Some how, the Titans will bring in our future QB either through the draft or trading.

1. The Titans have no choice, but to rework McNair's contract first because they have no money freed up to do any FA shopping.
2. When McNair signs his new contract to play the rest of his career here, the Titans will then FA shop.
3. Then the Titans can prepare for the draft.
Don't worry, McNair will be here next year.

That's pretty much a done fact. Only him deciding not to be here would cause him, well, not to be here. But he wants to be here, and he'll sign a new deal.
And then we should trade Volek to the Jets.

Could the Dolphins emerge as a possible suitor for Volek ?
not only could the dolphins emerge, but you also have to look at the cardinals, and the lions, plus the ravens as suitors to win the volet sweep stakes.volek is not the future here.
So if Volek is not the future here than why would you think another team would not feel the same? You think we have special insider info that Volek stinks that other teams don't know about?
Soxcat said:
I don't that Volek will be with the Titans in '06 but I don't think he stinks. McNair will be back next year and Volek has said he wants to be a starter in '06. If McNair is with the Titans in '06, it won't be as Volek's back up. In other words, Volek will be traded.
volek can be a good QB in this league, but not like a great qb. he will be a starter, but it won't be with us! my best bet would be with the jets, and that makes the most sense since he knows the dinger!
McNair has a back condition that prevents him from practicing on a regular basis. He's is paid like an elite player but his QB rating is only about average. To give him a signing bonus that amoritizes money beyond 2006 carries a degree of risk. We could easily have a repeat of the EG situation where we have an overpaid superstar that if released would create a large cap hit of dead money. This situation is not as simple as just resigning #9 and Reese being an idiot if he doesn't.

Parcells once said in New England that Kraft wanted him to cook the dinner but wouldn't let him shop for the groceries. McNair didn't blow up the team because of the cap and he didn't draft the talent (or lack thereof) around him.
My point here is that in making your statement, how many balls has McNair throw to his AVERAGE targets that were dropped ? How many touchdown passes and first downs have been dropped by McNair's AVERAGE targets just over the last three weeks ? That's McNair's fault ?
McNair has never been a QB that is rated on his "QB rating". It's the intangibles McNair brings to table that make McNair worth his money. Granted McNair is no young spring chicken and he's taken a beating. Partially because he's played behind a below AVERAGE line the past few years. Give McNair the right ammunition and he'll still fire the gun.

how many balls has McNair thrown to those average targets that were way over their head, behind them, in the ground or way in front of them, or just not even close to them?
If McNair practiced with these avg. WR's then they would get to know each other..problem is he sits out all week while Volek takes the reps and throws to these avg. wr's
is that the wr's fault??
This is still McNair's team, much like Favre, until he wants to leave. IMO, there's a big difference in a RB (like the EG situation, which I still hate) and the franchise QB. Players like McNair, Favre, Manning, etc. don't come along every day, and plenty of so-called "can't miss" QB prospects don't pan out...not everyone is a Carson Palmer.
I'll take McNair and his occasional misfire over a new QB struggling through his first season anyday.

It still does not make any sense to put an old vet QB in the game with a big contract, with all these young players. When these young dudes get into their prime, McNair leaves. Now we have to break in a new QB. It makes more sense to let these players grow together. All these young players are our future, McNair isn't. Let's bring in our future QB now instead of down the road.

Assuming, of course, that the guy they bring in is, in fact, our QBOF.
Or he could be another Ryan Leaf....Joey Harrington...Akili Smith...the list goes on.
We know for an absolute fact that McNair can play at a high level against top-level competition. He's done it for years. He did it just this past week. The same cannot be said of any of the QB prospects people are talking about....they could become Pro Bowlers, or they could flop miserably, and drag the entire team down with them.
Personally, I'll take McNair with a revamped O-line and receiving corps, and give a young QB a year or two to get acclimated.

Hey, I'll gladly take the middle ground here. I think we should invest in a new QB this offseason, and still have Mcnair start at least the beginning of next season, if not the whole time, while the new guy learns and goes through the ropes, getting practice with the young WRs and TEs, so that in another year, the change would be easier.
Reese is considered one of the best GM's in the NFL... and since his early days with the Oilers', he has shown that. As far as McNair... he'll return. Both McNair, His agent Bus Cook and the Titans' knew that a 50 million dollar roster bonus was never going to be paid and it was a tool to bring both sides back to the table.TitansCountry25 said:
The Jets' will go after Leinart in the draft. If for some reason they pull out a win or two thses last two (2) games... they'll consider trading their 1st rounder and Abraham to the Chargers' for their 1st rounder and Rivers. I don't have Abrahams numbers infront of me... RFA,UFA.. ect, but its a educated guess with some legs.kimberly said:
