Tennessee finalizing deal for Eagles RB DeMarco Murray

[The Q]

If anyone in this league can fuck it up, it's the Titans.

Brought Randy Moss in.

Never threw him the ball.

Had a QB who couldn't pass.

Rusty Smith?

Fisher intentionally tanked that season when he went there.

The next time Mathews survives consistent volume in the NFL will be the first time. Elliott at #13?

Well you better not draft a RB that requires it. That's why the eagles were bad last year. The RBBC does not work for every RB. You plan to get a every down back and not give him 20-25 carries a game? This is especially crucial against good run defenses because in those instances you are relying on Sproles and Mathews to throw teams off because the starter will have issues.

Rusty had a cannon. They refused to even use Moss as a decoy. Absolutely astonishing.

Rusty couldn't water throwing from the beach.

It's a new regime, don't expect anything resembling last year's system. Back to Andy Reid style essentially under Pederson.

I said I would be again when Whisenhunt, Webster and Amy Adams were all gone.

The first two are done and a.) her hiring Robinson, and b.) the event with PSL owners are swaying me.

I don't see how Robinson can possibly mess up this #1 pick and I don't feel 10% as frustrated as last year, though I still say the Titans are YEARS away from winning a playoff game.

Just don't start praising Mariota any time soon or OD will give himself a stroke screaming "I TOLD YOU SO." We have to consider his health.

It's not just the system. A RB plays based on his abilities. How many starting RBs delivered with 10-15 touches last year unless they played for the saints? And given you're passing game I'm afraid the running game is all you have.

Btw if you're planning to make Matthews the starting receiver next year don't draft a number one wideout in Treadwell. I think eagles are getting him and will underuse him. On top of him not being a fast receiver anyway, it's a terrible fit for eagles.

Oh you're a rams fan.

Not gonna lie, seeing Fisher waste Moss then made me feel SLIGHTLY better about the absurd decision to pass on him in 98.

My point was that a change to Pederson could well be a change away from RB by committee, provided they find the right RB. I certainly wouldn't base my RB plan on Ryan Mathews, and Sproles is really more of a WR at this point.

RIP Demarco, Tennessee a place all good players go to die.

I like this move for Tennessee and for DM. DM should see the ball more, and that should take some pressure off of Mariota. Kind of the Seahawk/Wilson/Beast model if you will. It's good for a young QB to have a stud RB and we know Murray is capable of that if he's given the ball enough.

He's a big injury risk though. Sure, he's a capable player but for the money it's too risky.
