I have the impression they loved Young before the combine. Then the Wunderlic story broke and we all were now wary of him so we assumed Leinart was the #1 QB in everyone's boards. We're now hearing Tennessee loves Young again. Maybe they weren't deterred by the test score and have never wavered.
As you know, I don't often express my opinion
but I've really been perplexed. The question you ask about the Titans can be asked about the Raiders.It is VY or ML that each team wants?
Chow's offense is designed to exploit a talent like Young. Steve Young was his finest student.
There is a possibility of a smokescreen, here's why:Matt Leinert could easily be there guy......but they also know some other teams behind them, not to far down the list could want Young. So thinking of what the Giants and San Diego did a few years back with Eli Mannning, they could be hoping to make this trade out of that spot, just to fall a few spots. They would get compensated for dropping at get the QB they want all along.
Au contrere, mon frere. Pragmatically, you are correct. However, the sense here is that Fisher/Reese have a year or two to right the ship. That concerns them much more than stocking the cupboard for the next staff.
I really hope this is the case. Taking Cutler, Porter, and a 3rd rounder will get us alot closer to being where we want to be.
Givens, Bennett, Porter, Calico, B Jones, Roby, Roydell Williams, Troupe, Kinney, and Scaife gives Volek/Cutler plenty of weapons going into this season. Use the rest of the draft to shore up an already improved defense, and I think we are looking at a team inching closer to respectability again.i'd love to see them move back and get extra picks and end up w/ cutlerI really hope this is the case. Taking Cutler, Porter, and a 3rd rounder will get us alot closer to being where we want to be.
Hi Chaos,Do you think Chow would rather have the guy he's familiar with and has had great success with in Leinart or would he prefer a talent like Young that has a style closer to Steve Young?
Keep us posted cw.I wonder if this is a crap teaser like Kuselius is running where he makes it sound like something has happened but in reality it's just his opinion of a deal they should do.
I find this question much more difficult than most. I'm not confident in an answer. I believe Chow would be excited to have either. It does appear he favors Leinart. I'm not big on predicting smokescreens, but I agree there's considerable gamesmanship in play this time of year. IF Tennessee takes Young, I'll be surprised if Chow ever claims he was his preference, even if he is. If Tennessee takes Leinart, I would expect Chow to say he was his preference all along, and I would believe that. Make sense? I have a hunch the Titans favor Young for his very high ceiling and ability to open up the playbook and keep defenses honest. So, to give a straight answer, I'll say I think Chow prefers Young's amazing skillset. The quote at USC's Pro Day compelled me: "I love Matt. I loved working with Matt. I would love to work with him again. But this is business now."
Thanks Chaos,I can see that for sure.
Might want to check the years there.Regardless...why on earth do you assume what happened two years ago would happen again?Volek can play 2005 and maybe 2006. Bennett would be top 20 WR.
No, what youve said there is just silly. Ideally, in a perfect world, yes, you are right.
A quick read of Leinart's blog diary on ESPN suggests he's got a great relationship with all of the Titans staff and Floyd Reese. He's spent a ton of time with them (and the Jets), so I would be surprised if he's not destined for one of those two teams.
First thank you for the year check. We assume all day like Leinart will be ready to go from day 1.Might want to check the years there.Regardless...why on earth do you assume what happened two years ago would happen again?
if you are drafting a qb to save your job next year....well....good luck
Well, as awesome as that reasoning is, why do you assume Bennett will be a top 20 WR just b/c Volek might start a few games in 2006?First thank you for the year check. We assume all day like Leinart will be ready to go from day 1.Might want to check the years there.Regardless...why on earth do you assume what happened two years ago would happen again?
Apples and oranges.McNair was signed to a very reasonable $ contract, 7
i suspect if he is chosen by the Titans he will hae a 6 year deal (max now allowed under the CBA) or a 5 year deal with a team option for a 6th. It is the only way he can get big money guarantees and bonus.When McNair signed the maximum was 7 years. Now its 6. Any top 5 pick will be asked to sign a 6 year or 5+1 deal.
I hate to keep repeating myself, just as Im sure WMI is, about these same issues in basically the same threads over and over, but McNair's situation is completely different from Young/Leinart's. The compensation for a top 5 pick has gone up DRAMATICALLY, and Fisher does not have the job security to sit a top 5 pick for 2 years. Its that simple.
I do not believe Fishers Future employment is going to force him to pick Matt over Vince if he thinks Vince is a better long term QB.Fisher knows if the Titans were to let him go he would be able to land any open HC job that will be avail next season.
Which is great, but Floyd Reese doesnt have that same security, and hes the one making the selection, not Fisher.
You cant be serious .Cutler is way , way , way , way overrated he will be a bust, a cant miss bust .
Beautiful logic aside, yes, Im serious. And the question was, who do I think the Titans will take, not how do I rank them.
