Not really a surprise. Bud is paying Vince alot of money and was the one who made the final call to draft him. Truth is, Fisher has never wanted Vince and only played him his rookie year after Collins got injured after starting 0-3. Fisher also did not hesitate to pull Vince after 1 half of bad football in 08, but wont pull Collins after 6 weeks of sucking. The double standard has been noticed by the entire sportsworld.

You're joking right? Vince hasn't even been mentally stable. Last year he was talking about killing himself. How can you have someone in the game playing with that going on in someone's head. Jeff was looking out for him and trying to get him help. If you are trying to pull the race card remember how much Jeff loved Steve McNair. I would love for you to pull up a old article where it says Jeff didn't want Vince.

I really hate when owners involve themselves in coaching decisions.

Funny thing though, I actually kind of agree with Adams here. The Titans are going nowhere so given that they'll need to make a decision on Young at some point, why not try him?

The answer, most likely, is the same answer as the one regarding Fox and Delhomme. A coach in "save my job" mode isn't interested in the future. He wants the best established player, and at this juncture that's still Collins.

Yeah it's actually a shame you don't get Jeff Fisher announcing he was going to play Young to see where he's at as this season is a loss.

Or Fox going with Moore as Jake has serious problems.

Would reflect better on the HC IMHO.

There was an interesting revelation in the radio hissy fit recently thrown by the wife of Floyd Reese.

She stated that on two previous occasions, Adams was set to fire Jeff Fisher. It was Floyd who saved Fisher's job both times, a kindness Fisher repaid by forcing Reese out in a power struggle.

If Adams goes down that path again, will anyone save Fisher this time?

Fisher is the only retread I could conceivably be talked into supporting as a Fox replacement.

But in the end, I'd probably still say no.

I've never been a fan of Fisher.

He has been at it a long time he looks burned out, if he were to replace Fox I hope its after a couple years off and some time spent on the beach.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By PanthersGTI · Posted

      Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
