It Seems the Titans Had a Huge Steal

It still hurts for me that we didnt have a chance or we dont have plan to draft DGB, I thought he's a troubled kid with stupid decision. However, I read one article of ESPN and begin to even believe the Titans got a huge steal in this draft. This kid seems to be on the right way of collecting things together.

 

With no outlet for his game-day fire, Green-Beckham saved his intensity for practices and the 5:30 a.m. workouts usually reserved for freshmen and scout teamers. He even managed to turn Jerry Schmidt, the Sooners' strength coach since 1999 and a notorious grump, from a skeptic to a believer.

"Going into it, I thought it was going to be a problem," Schmidt said. "But he didn't miss a day and he led all of our younger guys and showed them how to work. Here's a guy who's supposed to be playing in SEC at a high level, and now he's not playing on Saturday, and still working like that. You've got to give him some credit for that."

Green-Beckham went on to be named scout team player of the week six times, turning practices into his own personal challenge against the No. 1 defense.

"I told them, practice is my game," he says. "This is my Saturday."

I am an Oklahoma alum and I've heard the great things about him over the past year.. he's got potential to be a Calvin Johnson.  I would have taken him at #25, but I know DG's hands were tied on that one.

Josh Gordon was a steal too. Greg Hardy was a steal. Eventually the other side of the axe falls.

That's a really good point. People never really change. Guys with proeblems eventually have those same problems again at some point.

Don't know about that. You probably have more positive stories than negative. That's just how the media and people are, focusing on the negative.

On an off note, Greg Hardy's legal issues began in the NFL.

Legal issues, yes. Character concerns have been documented in college. He fell to 6th round due to foot injury and character concerns. He's had plenty of character concerns before his legal issues with us as well. It's been put out there that the Panthers had no intention of resigning him before the domestic violence. They wanted to rent him and try to make it back to the playoffs then let him walk.

Depends on the reason for the problems.

 

If it's "wrong place, wrong time" or "youthful indiscretion" you can get past those things.

 

If it's "bad judgment", "not very bright", "poor decision making" or "addictive behavior", then yeah there's a pretty good chance they're gonna get in trouble again.

 

Those are the guys you avoid.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
