JG and Pruitt.

JG is good in practice and has a big arm that's why he's in the NFL.

I'm afraid if Pruitt had Hooker he may have kept his job longer...

Or if JG would have had good coaches that developed him and put him in situations where he could succeed, he may have won several more games.

he's a player. swings at some ugly shiz. streaky.

So those numbers would be good in baseball if they didn’t come in streaks?

I think they'd be good in the majors, sure.

college? I think they're slightly above average. I think dude has all SEC potential. Just needs a more disciplined eye.

You know I kept blaming that on not having talent there, but it may just be he had so much talent in GA, FL ST and AL they just made him look good.

I've believed all along that he built his reputation on superior talent.

Is Old Dominion going to end up with more draft picks than Kensucky? I think I’ve seen 3 ODU guys picked and only Levi’s and Crod been drafted from Kensucky right?

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

Are we really not going to have anyone else drafted????

This late…it’s maybe better to be a UFA .

I grew up in East Nashville in the 80s and 90s when East Nashville was ghetto as f&@k. When the Oilers landed here and built their stadium on the east side of the river, they won my heart, but damn, they’re making it tough to hang in there.

I’ll never give up rooting for the Titans, it’s too hard for me to get invested in any other teams. I am really disappointed in our draft picks yesterday, not necessarily for drafting Levis, but for giving up draft picks for him knowing he would have been available at 41, and then drafting a guy who literally only has one ACL, and no WR’s. I hope we have a plan to get some WR’s in FA or trade for one and at least next year we will have 100+ million to spend salary cap wise. And hey, at least tickets will be cheap next year

As a Raiders fan, I have endured some really difficult draft days. I will be cheering hard for the lions now too

In other words..."I suck at my job and picked some dudes that I know are going to REALLY piss off the fan base b3cause the fan base knows they will most probably be complete busts...so please don't bitch at me or them about it...just pretend they were good picks that we are excited about"

The Titans powers-that-be are completely stupidly incompetent, and the franchise deserves what is going to happen to it now...ridicule and disgust in neverending waves for years to come.

Picking Will Levis in this state has got to be one of the all-time braindead NFL front office flops...and that is saying something.

Hey but we just drafted our franchise-saving WR! lol

Completely life changing for him and his family...I've heard it compared to getting a winning lottery ticket, but that it really a gross misrepresentation because that is pure luck...this is 100% pure grit and want-to..BY earned this %

Edit...I just now saw that weird auto correct on this post and fixed it..

Doubt it….Hooker would have been running the Pruitt offense.

You do realize the only reason the Steelers stay in Pittsburgh is because they get what they want, right? Every team is a mercenary team. Every player is a mercenary player.

Which is why I hate the NFL and the other pro leagues, and why I am swiftly starting to hate college sports...I want to see people playing for love of the game and place..not just money.

It hurts because I am Vol, but I hate the way it is going. I know kids deserve some money for the work they do, but it can't be all about that for me or I will just give up on it all...I am getting there swiftly and it sucks.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

See, I also was born and raised here and as soon as they came here, that was me and my familes team because that is the team that represents our home state. Even if they do make it hard as **** sometimes lol.
Fan psychology is always an interesting topic imo.

They are in the state, but they have went completely out of their way to show they are not of this state ever since they have been here by their disrespect of UT players...you are duped.

They are not and NEVER will be the "Tennessee" team...at least not until someone else starts running them.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

For the player, sure. But for recruiting etc it’s better to say we got more of players drafted.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

C'mon let's get one more Vol!

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Yea, criticizing them for taking a bad player is one thing. But criticizing them just for taking a UK player doesn’t make sense. Teams should take any players they think will help them. I’m not a Titans fan btw.

They would have taken Young(and we REALLY hate Bama) if they had the #1 pick and I don’t think very many Tennessean Titans fans would have griped very much...it isn't "because he is from UK"...it is because he is a sucky QB and a arrogant jackass.

I don't even think it would be anywhere near this bad if they had chosen AR and we all hate Florida more than Kensucky.

It is the combination of those things that make Levis a horrible and stupid pick.

I can't believe Jerome Carvin has not been drafted. He was one of the best guards in the country

I am hoping to not get there. But I already don’t keep up as much with recruiting. Wait until one class is signed before looking at the next. Wait to see if they show up before thinking how they may help. Wait until they show out in fall camp and don’t leave before getting excited. I don’t worry about who we have available to make up the team because they may transfer. Just not as invested. If it wasn’t for y’all I probably wouldn’t even worry about recruiting. Just turn the tv on to watch the game. CJH recruiting good players with good character is helping.
