COTY: It's Mike Vrabel and it's not even close. Also, 2022 QB Rankings. Listen and Learn.

The context behind individual awards like MVP and Coach Of The Year is really what matters. Who was the supporting cast and did they play their role? It isn't a residual award either, meaning branching together past success. It's a a very present reward. Also if you like NFL Draft talk stay stuned for an early '22 QB Class Rankings.

The #Titans Path to the #1 Seed is Simple but Complicated/Who are some interesting '22 QB Prospects?

#Titans are Resilient. #Niners need a mobile QB. I wonder who's available?

Titans don't look good without their stars and that's a depth issue but one thing they are is resilient. Niners have some game management issues. Margin for error, paired with QB mechanics/limitations leads me to believe Trey Lance should be more part of the gameplan.

Titans have interest in several UDFAs. Who will emerge as the steal from that group? Titans have allocated tons of capital to special teams at the expense of possibly adding more dynamic talent.

@Titans Ultimately Got What They Deserved. Ravens Loss Reflects Lack of Thorough Hiring Processes.

Don't start none. Won't be none. Titans mouths led to unnecessary motivation for Ravens and an underlying gaffe of allowing yourself to be one dimensional looms after constantly being reminded to change things up.

The NBA GOAT DEBATE: End of Discussion. Stop the Madness.

The NBA GOAT DEBATE has been stirred up again due to a recent documentary released by MJ. It's important to give credit to LBJ as his 2016 title should be appreciated more and Kobe's 60 point last game was absolutely legendary and MJ's ability to take time off then reconvene and win championships is all GOAT worthy. But I tell you who the real GOAT is in the 30 minute podcast. It's the best way to view the discussion.

Outdrafted but my vision as a whole prevailed. How #Titans acquired talent but ignored the trenches.

The Tennessee Titans got better on paper than most teams this off-season. However ignored two important position groups where they should've over compensated. IF they had really took into account of who they were going to play in 2019. They drafted for an "imaginary future" (look who's talking lol) instead of winning the year.

#Titans Brady = Prestige, Rivers = Pizazz, Tannehill = Practicality. The weird Titans similarities.

Support for Titans' Tannehill has been quiet this year because of the majority's love for Mariota. Never again. The best player should've gotten the nod from the start. Also call it delusion but I'm either being trolled by the Titans or honestly they steal (or borrow) my ideas a lot. Specifically this year when I'm literally putting it in their face. Listen and I'll explain.

Reality Check: Titans haven't beat a quality opponent since NE. Burrow on QB sneaks and JRob's move.

Since defeating New England last regular season the Titans have not beat a team with a winning record. Truth is they are consistent just not against teams with any above average aspect to their game. Simmons and Jayon Brown are J Rob's most cunning draft picks. When going for it on 4th make sure it's clear in body language. Let me explain. Tune in.

#Titans QB Mariota demotion not a Linear decline. What is leadership? Trade deadline approaching.
