DGB Traded to the Igles

For those who clamored to draft this guy last year, the Titans have already given up on him and traded for what is the Eagles equivalent to Byron Bell. 

DGB had apparently fallen down the depth chart and was being supplanted by a 5th round rookie. 

Also, I'm not sure if we're still in offseason mode or not, but mods please feel free to move it to NFL discussion if it's that time of year again.

wow really

that guy was gonna be the next randy moss according to several people on this site

It's pretty surprising tho because last thing I remember is him being pretty promising last year and him getting back into football shape so he must not be getting what those coaches are dishing out. 

On a side note Derrick Henry looks like a stud for them. He's probably gonna destroy our second and third string Saturday.

Most Titan fans are upset which they should be. We all know the leaps Funchess has made but DGB did have a comparable season stats wise. 

The titan front office had some concerns and him coming into camp out of shape solidified those concerns, along with him being out of position numerous times last season. 

IMO the titans moved on to quickly but only time will tell. But the Eagles did get him for a career backup with 15 starts in 4 years

I would bet DGB played many more snaps than Funch, and probably a fair amount of production in garbage time.

Apparently he has been giving no effort in camp and the coaches didn't want him there.  

Rishard Matthews, Andre Johnson, Tajae Sharpe, Kendall Wright, and Justin Hunter were all ahead of him on the depth chart.  Not to mention Tre McBride sounds like he's won people over as well.

Probably off the field reasons. He showed promise on the field, but he was drafted with plenty of off field concerns and I'm sure the front office probably had him on a pretty short leash. 

Read the Titans board. He came into camp overweight, and has problems running their route tree. Lots of pissed off fans because the guy is so physically talented and think they cut bait wayyy too early for a shitty OL player.

also think they got a new GM over there who apparently is cut throat and are trying to build their lockerroom up. Honestly they are trying to mirror us.

Did the Titans really need him? I doubt it.

Check out their receiver depth chart. It's nothing to write home about.

Back when people were saying our receiving corps was one of the worst in the league, the Titans were often neck and neck.

That's the problem. According training camp reports he didn't make the leap that funchess made. Sharpe out played him. This kind of remind me or the Trent Richardson trade.

I liked Kendall Wright, but it looks like he's fallen out of flavor too.

      My read is they intended to try and get points but that first run and usage of the clock was done to hedge against things going poorly. Basically they shouldn't need all that time to score since they had multiple timeouts. Dirting that second play put us in a no-win situation. Sure you can run on 3rd down but ARI had timeouts so they still likely get the same result.

      I never said he had a good game in the Denver game.  As you said we had a good first drive ending in Bryce throwing a slant to XL for a TD.  It was garbage time but the back shoulder throw to Coker for the late TD was a great throw.   Throws like these in bad games are why I say he "can" do it and has the physical tools.  The question is can he do it consistently, continue to improve, grow and become our QB of the future.  Up to this point that was a hard no but with a new head coach and Bryce in his 2nd year it was 100% the right call to play out the year and see if he got better.  He did.   Two games into this year is still more of the up and down quality of play and coaching but there is still plenty of potential and we have 16 more games to decide if it's worth it to continue down this path. I don't know what will happen but I know cutting him or benching him now makes zero sense on any level. I said of those last 10 games we were only blown out in 2 of them.  I'll concede the Denver game was a blow out.  So 3 blowout loses and 7 competitive games, 4 of which we won, all decided by less than a TD.  Sounds like a team growing, improving and getting better.  All I want to do is see where that leads and if those examples of starting NFL level quarterbacking can continue to improve and become more consistent.   Anyone with pride would retire?  Laughable.  Do all of you quit in your daily lives every time things get tough or don't go your way?
