That is what happens when you think you can win a SB with Ryan Tannehill and waste away one of the greatest RB's of all-time.. One and done = the Titans.

Yep. I never understood that after getting the #1 seed in the AFC last year. Unless you believed Tannehill was like Mahomes and the offense would still keep humming, which he is not and neither is their play caller named Andy Reid. Not to mention they still have an elite TE in Kelce.

 

The Belichick ways of winning with WRs not worth much in the early 2000s are gone, Ds like the 2013 Seahawks and 2015 Broncos don't come around often. You need an elite TE or WR in your corps to win a SB, period. Gronk, Kelce, Hill, Kupp etc. You need that star power at WR that makes things easier for everyone else, period. Ballard can deflect his OL failures on the media "you guys wanted me to get WR....ridiculous blah, blah, blah" all he wants. The fact of the matter is we are littered with #2 and #3 WRs and it is hard to win in this league without that 1 star guy to catch passes. Tee Higgins of the Bengals could be a #1 on many teams including ours.

 

But if you compare his record to Ballard, it puts Ballard's record to shame. The Titans had just one winning season and no playoff appearances between 2009-2015. Since Jon Robinson took over, they are about to have our 7th winning season in a row, 3rd straight division title, and 5 playoff appearances in 6 seasons. They sure have higher standards.

 

 Go back to the Mike Mularkey firing before Mike Vrabel was brought in as the head coach. The Titans made the playoffs that year, but the owner saw that they had reached Mularkey’s ceiling.

Uh. Wow. Looks like the Titans made one heckuva smart move here.

 

They're now at the front of the line for prospective candidates: Lucrative franchise with an established winning head coach, fabulous defense, and high potential offense.

In fact, I would not mind to hire Jon Robinson here. There is no #1 WR to trade here   and we would have missed the playoffs 2 years in a row. Revenge against the Titans, building a more physical team on the DL, he gets all those things done.

What the hey... You're right. His entire vision and focus was to design and build a team that beat us. And he went out and did it. No Super Bowls, but a nice handful of division titles. With us, he'd build a team specifically created to beat the Titans. At least we'd be relevant in our division again!

That would be a start.  

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Mike Vrable will probably be able to select his own GM

[danlhart87]

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

lol Kevin 

 

 

[2006Coltsbestever]

If we fire Ballard, he will probably get hired by the Titans and he will make Tannehill look like Andrew Luck and they will win it all 

[danlhart87]

Imagine Jon and Chris swapping places

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

He probably deserves more power.

I doubt it. He will fill their roster with RAS athletes and underachieving DL as time goes on. He will build good depth though.

Might be a win-win situation. Ballard doesn't have to evaluate DL since their depth is great there and just needs to hit on a few skill positions, if he can. Jon would bring talent with more physicality to the Colts and get a coach that will do it for us.

But then, Vrabel might be like Belichick, with GM and HC powers.

I think that is what is going to happen.

[Myles]

Tannehill sure catches allot of heck from people on here.   He owns the Colts and keeps winning the division.   He's not elite, but he is a good QB who has a 36-17 record with the Titans.   

[PRnum1]

Ballard should be next.  Hopefully an announcement soon

Perfect for Ballard if Irsay fires him.  That’s why he won’t. I think Ballard’s job just became more secure.

Yeah but when Luck owned the Titans where he was 6-0 against them and started his career 33-15, Luck caught flack too when we won the division in 2013 and 2014. So why shouldn't Tannehill? We couldn't beat Tom Brady and one of the best teams ever. Which is understandable. You have Tannehill losing to teams like Cincy at home in round 1 with HFA is why I give him flack.

...and the Ravens the previous year.

 

They actually played better as a wild card team at No.6 in 2019 beating the Patriots, the #3 seed and the Ravens, the #1 seed both on the road before losing to Mahomes in a close one till Mahomes pulled away in the end.

Not only that. Luck never had anyone in this atmosphere like Tannehill has had in Henry.

Keep in mind, when they beat the Pats it was the last year of Brady and BB, they has issues going on there. When Luck lost to them they were a powerhouse. Tennessee caught them at the best time but still could not beat Mahomes.

Ballard straight up for Denico Autrey back.

Glad you are doing better. Your post here is right on. Ballard letting him go had me puzzled.

I want Peyton Manning just so I can hear dopes in the media say he has no experience and spit like Cowher. - In all seriousness, I bet Peyton would make a great GM. He knows the game. Lynch has done great.

So if a QB doesn't match Luck's numbers he is crap?    I don't buy into that.  I wish the Colts had Tannehill.

I am glad we don't have Tannehill, so we disagree on that. We would not win a SB with him. Is he better than a 37 yr old Matt Ryan, he is, I admit that now but we still wouldn't do anything with Tannehill. There are some wanting Baker, no thanks to that either. We need to draft someone and hope we nail it.

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

Look how mad Mike was when brown got traded.

 

 

[stitches]

What the actual #?!? This is shocking to me... Jon Robinson fired earlier than Ballard?  

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I am sure Irsay seeing this won’t help Ballard’s cause.

Actually it will help him if the Titans are looking for a GM. But Vrabel intends to be HC and GM.

I think it will.  He will not want him going to a division rival.  Especially when they have a good team and will be division champions.  I think he will be back.

First thing he will need to is let Autry go.
