You had a nice regular season then lost your first playoff game at home, thanks in part to a sub-par perfomance from your inconsistent quarterback. In the offseason you lost your best DT, and now have very little success getting pressure up the middle. Most importantly, you added no real depth to your team. Even though you weren't good enough to win a Superbowl, you hoped staying the same would equate to a better result when much of your competition made moves to get better.

In the NFL if you're not growing you're dying, and 0-4 is the result.

Or 0-3.

you really think jeff fisher is holding them back?
he is part of the problem. he isn't as good as people think he is.

coaching for 16 years and only six winning records? one superbowl appearance? 11 total playoff games?

how long does it take before you realize you have gone as far as you can with a coach? at what point do you say "he just isn't getting the job done."?

For every Tennessee and Carolina who try and build consistency by locking up their starters and building through the draft, you also have teams like Tampa, Detroit, Jets, Rams, Kansas City etc, that changed large chunks from coaches, to front office, veterans, etc.

The results are mixed as you would expect. I don't think the problem would have been fixed with more backups or even drafting a first round quarterback. The starters have played poorly and the defense has been abysmal. I had hoped the offense would have bailed out the defense until it rounded into form but that surely hasn't happened. Until the defense improves we will flounder. And that will take time in the system and players being where they are supposed to be. The offense has been every bit as big a problem as the defense.

I agree. As is well known, eventually players stop listening. That's when it's time to part ways. A disappointing playoff loss to a team you should beat is often the tipping point. Players are smarter than they're given credit for, and I'm sure the core (remaining) Titans knew they wouldn't be better than last year when they got no added help. Same with the Panthers players.

LOL, tons of similarities between these teams this year - they even have our very first draft pick!

Fisher and Fox are in the same boat as well, two good coaches who have worn out there welcome. At a certain point, no matter how good of a coach you are, guys stop listenting to you. The players may not even be aware that they're no longer really listenting to you, they just tune you out.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
