Making up stats? Have you seen how many missed down field he had? Have you watched us have to small ball? Btw, Mariota had only 13 TD’s with Walker (a tight end) and 11 last year without. Stats aren’t telling the whole story anyway....but think what you will.

We had to small ball because we couldn't protect the qb long enough to make many throws downfield. Even with max protect we had often had guys getting thru.

How many throws did he miss downfield versus how many were dropped? I mean, you don't end up with a 7.6 YPA if you're only throwing checkdowns and you don't end up with fd% being 12th on qb throws. So you're cherry picking TD's, but the facts of having a 68% completion rate with his YPA and FD% suggest what you're saying isn't correct.

Plus, I'm not the one making up stats.

It is absolutely amazing that the Titans went 9-7 last year with such a terrible line, horrible receivers, and a non-existent running game until December. You’d think Mariota carried the team. But he was awful, too. Man, if we could fix the offense, this team would be unstoppable.

Defense got this team on its back. Offense was embarrassingly bad. We are literally 1 dimensional.

When the line is inconsistent in blocking for both the run and passing game...inconsistent offense tends to happen. CD was pretty good last year...but the OL, our other wr's, RB's, Mariota...all inconsistent. Not terrible all the time...but too inconsistent putting way too much pressure on the D. And even our great D had a few problem games too.

So yes, let's hope the line gets fixed, Walker is back healthy, Henry runs like last December, Mariota stays healthy and plays his A game a lot more consistently...and we hurt teams with our wr corp (possibly the most improved unit in talent)!!!

I like how PFF say the Titans will win roughly 8 games this year and finish last in the AFC south. But the guy writing the article at the end says how good PFF is...and THEN ignores their assertions when he says in conclusion...

"Sure, regression is possible for the Titans next season. However, I think Tennessee, thanks to their off-season additions and strong draft efforts, are much more likely to improve on their win totals from the last three seasons. Marcus Mariota has more offensive weapons to work with, the offensive line was upgraded and Cam Wake should provide the team with a more productive pass rush."
 
I don't see a regression. We played a tough schedule missing some key players with a walking wounded qb1 and nothing at qb2. The additions we made will get us a couple more wins.
 
Got better on offense on paper. We get Walker back.

If the defense improves we could be contenders. Ceiling Super Bowl

If Mariota all of a sudden figures it out and stays healthy, I could see a deep playoff run, and serious contenders in 2021.

If we end up needing a rookie, make it 2022, if he's legit.

If Mariota puts it together, if Henry runs like last December all year, if the OL holds up, if Walker stays healthy, if CD takes another step and Brown/Hump/Taylor give us another 2 legit weapons, and the D stays great...we will be contenders this year.

If we can get through this schedule with 10 wins and have a good division record, we can play with any team.
