What is that worth?At least Semen has more wins than losses as a starter, thats worth something
Woody hasnt ever seen a real game
If he had more losses than wins, he would still be looked at as a better option than Woodside. It’s his experience people want.
Positive experience is better than negative experience. A winning attitude is important as well as the confidence that comes from winning. While we all agree that winning record is not the sole measure of any player, there is an intangible benefit that comes from winning vs losing at the QB spot.I agree with the experience part although a guy can only get experience by being thrown in there.
But his winning percentage is irrelevant. I mean, look our last couple years at QB. People were glad we replaced Cassel with Gabbert.
Then people were hesitant (albeit a smaller crowd) on THill because of his previous record with Miami.
That’s where we disagree then.Positive experience is better than negative experience. A winning attitude is important as well as the confidence that comes from winning. While we all agree that winning record is not the sole measure of any player, there is an intangible benefit that comes from winning vs losing at the QB spot.
If a QB is good, his experience playing is the value not whether he won or lost. We’ve seen that over history although the league and fans don’t have any patience anymore in today’s game, either win immediately (regardless of team around) or be tossed aside possibly without even a second shot.
Thill is a great example. Dolphin fans were done with him (wide majority anyway) because he wasn’t winning. Some titans fans were skeptical because he hadn’t been a “winning QB” in Miami.
Then he played and not very surprisingly, that record was irrelevant and he was the top QB in the league.
after thinking about it, Siemian is hardly a winning QB himself. If given more chances to start in Denver or NYJ, he’d surely be a losing QB.
I've always favored an experienced vet as a backup. As the backup, they don't get the same game preparation as the starter. They're busy running the scout team all week. They need to be able to put on the helmet and lead a team without throrough preparation. It's a mental thing at that point.
A very smart pick up here....Siemian has a lot of starts under his belt, and the numbers are well within the range of a quality backup. Also lets not forget he mostly played on bad football teams. I also like the fact he can throw touchdowns regularly when in the red zone....not many back ups have that quality. Smart pick up.
yea unless your No.2 is a high pick youre grooming I def like a seasoned vet over a late rookie all dayI've always favored an experienced vet as a backup. As the backup, they don't get the same game preparation as the starter. They're busy running the scout team all week. They need to be able to put on the helmet and lead a team without throrough preparation. It's a mental thing at that point.
its just a plus that he not only has experience, but he has the ability to will a team to wins..What is that worth?

Only the sith deal in absolutesYou are speaking in absolutes. We are saying there is some value in a winning percentage but not the primary measure. Just look at last year, RT clearly made a difference in our record. He wasn’t the sole reason, but definitely a reason.
I would sign the Sith to go to the Bowl. But not over 12 mil.Only the sith deal in absolutes
We gave him Clowney's 15 milAny reports on how much we're paying him?
Well we paid Gabby 2M to eat dirt so my guess is something in that neighborhoodAny reports on how much we're paying him?
so.... 2018, if Siemian starts instead of Gabby ---- do we get to the playoffs?
Superbowl :trophy:so.... 2018, if Siemian starts instead of Gabby ---- do we get to the playoffs?
Yes this is exactly what I was saying. Thanks Chronos.I think Dangermode was just saying the overall package that Seimien brings is a relief compared to what Woodside and Pineapple brought. You want a guy who has started and experienced some success vs a guy who hasn’t. At least I do...
Yes, siemian has a higher winning %.so.... 2018, if Siemian starts instead of Gabby ---- do we get to the playoffs?
Excuse me?Yes, siemian has a higher winning %.
It was a joke.Excuse me?
Every titans fan knows we didn’t sacrifice enough to the football gods to beat Luck and the colts. Our QB wouldn’t have mattered if Tom Brady had suited up.
Yeah, I know, I was just giving you a hard time.It was a joke.
