2023-2024 NFL Season Thread • Page 639

Yep lol

 

They only influence our thread

 

We’re not having this discussion if Chris Ballard got his head out of his ass after Rivers retired, but he convinced himself that they could fix Wentz and then convinced himself that Ryan still had something left in the tank instead of actually just taking a year or two to rebuild. Instead, he waited until 2023, somehow kept his job, and finally took a rookie QB because he realized he probably couldn’t go another year with a veteran stopgap and keep his job

 

It’s because they didn’t give Ehlinger enough time to develop

 

Good one Dustin

 

slightly disagree in that, once you have them, keeping good players is a lot more fun than letting them go be good somewhere else, so I’m team Keep Derrick Henry (and AJ Brown, which they promptly didn’t do)

but spending 4 years of Derrick Henry prime and still not having attempted to upgrade from Ryan Tannehill is pretty bad

 

In some universe, there is a Danny Etling vs. Sam Ehlinger Super Bowl.

 

In that universe you and I are only 2 NFL thread posters and that thread is wild

 

It’s difficult to upgrade on Ryan Tannehill when you’re winning games, winning the division, making playoff runs, and picking in the 20s

But, like you said, keeping good players is fun. The Titans were winning. They were never going to jettison Tannehill or Henry. They were always going to keep that ship afloat until it sunk

 

im still salty about how dirty Jim Irsay did Sam Ehlinger

 

And I’ll add this. For all the talk of “The Titans should have upgraded from Ryan Tannehill” the same thing can be said about the Lions and Jared Goff, but, at the end of the day, the moves teams make affects team culture inside the locker room. We can point out Tannehill’s flaws until we’re blue in the face. Vrabel loves that dude and they were never going to replace him so quickly after what that team did from 2019-2021.

Now, both Tannehill and Henry are in the final year of their respective contracts and neither have received extensions. Neither have even been mentioned or rumored to receive extensions. The team knows what’s going on. They’re very likely running it back one last time with this crew and moving on after this season to begin a soft (or hard) rebuild. They took a shot on Will Levis in the second round, which is hardly the amount of draft capital many thought a team would need to invest in him in the draft. They can let him sit this year, see what he has next year, and go from there.

 

thats hell

 

The amount of AFC South talk in this thread should be illegal.

 

I was talking about the Eagles the other day and you didn’t chime in

 

Nobody likes it when I talk about the Patriots and the rest of the AFC East is also unbearable lol

 

I low key think the Bills are going to implode this season. I’m not suggesting that I think they’ll win six games, but 9-8 and drastically underperforming vs expectations is not out of the realm of possibilities

 

On a related note, FanDuel has the Dolphins as third favorites to win the division at +290, which is…interesting…

 

Lets talk about the gmen baby

 

I think Darren Waller is going to work out well for them, assuming health. One of the more underrated moves of the offseason

 

Lets go out on that high note and talk about another team

 

Someone needs to pitch a team

 

That’s tough for the Chiefs, man. What are they gonna do now?

 

If healthy that's an INCREDIBLE move.

 

I would have liked one Deandre Hopkins
