You guys are hilarious and blowing the Andre fight way out of proportion. He is the second best player on the titans and their best player on D. If you can get him in a trade and he is willing to come here / we can afford it you make that deal asap. "/Thread"

It goes further than the Johnson fight, I dont think all the nay sayers are basing their opinion off of that one example. I dont think with his attitude he would be good for team chemistry.

I just mentioned Andre because it has been brought up multiple times in this thread. Also besides wanting to get paid I don't know where everyone is getting the idea he is a bad teammate with a poor attitude. Can someone actually back their statement up with some evidence?

OK, screw the fact that he got into it with Andre. How about the way he handled the situation where Orton called him a dirty player for punching a Broncos linemen, which lead to Finnegan getting a fine. Finnegan's response to the media, "I was just being me."

Yeah. There is that. Instead of owning up, making the team look better, and himself, and admitting he did something wrong, he said "Hey, that is just me. The guy who punches people in a game because I am too much of a bitch to play the game the way it is meant to be played."

“Nobody cares about fines. I don’t care. It doesn’t matter. I am going to keep playing the way I play and if we keep getting a FedEx every week and win football games, I could care less about getting a FedEx.” - Cortland Finnegan

Yeah, he's a GREAT guy. :rolleyes:

Sorry I responded to you immature, unintelligent post with a post of equal value and you call me a troll? Why don't you add something worth while to the thread.

I called you a troll for your initial post in this thread, and then your response to me just added to that. I think I've added plenty to this thread. You, on the other hand, have provided about as much help to this thread as Bush did to the Katrina victims.

Do I agree with what he said, no. But he wants to win and I like that in a player. Also he doesn't suck. It would be like if James Harrison did everything he did and was a terrible player. It just doesn't work like that. Even Steve Smith has his issues but he is a great player so people tend to forgive him. Plus he is a winner.

Thats a good sum up. Finnegan is not worth arguing about, imo.

    • Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
    • When it comes to evaluating talent, the equation is actually pretty simple. If you're elite in both the measurable traits (size, speed, strength) and the mental side (IQ, instincts), you're looking at a Hall of Fame trajectory—assuming injuries don't derail you. If you're elite in one area but just decent in the other, you can still carve out a Pro Bowl career. Decent in both? That's your typical NFL starter. But here's where it gets tricky—and where a lot of athletes, especially the ones who dominate practices, find their ceiling. If you're not a starter and you don't excel on special teams, you won't last in this league. The roster math is unforgiving. That "what if" game has been playing out in Carolina for a while now, especially at wide receiver. You've got guys who light it up in practice—everything looks smooth, natural, effortless. But when the lights come on and the defense throws a look they haven't seen on tape, the processing slows down. The game speeds up. And when they have to think instead of just react, they crumble. That's the danger. Put a player like that on the field—any position, really—and expect him to process on the fly, and you're setting him up to fail. Now factor in that he was a top-10 pick, not some late-round flier or UDFA. A franchise invested everything in him. They moved pieces around, changed coaching, changed systems—tried everything to help him succeed. But here's the reality check: if he's out there, remember that the guys lining up across from him are also getting paid millions. And their job is to find that weakness and exploit it every single snap.
    • I think he'd make a good QB spy role in those mobile QB games, like Chicago. Just send him at Caleb every play.
