This is why the NFL is and always will be the very best sports enterprise on the planet.It's not because of the marketing they do, or the way they can turn athletes into full-blown celebrities just by catching a few touchdowns, but it's the parity from year to year.
It's absolutely incredible that you can have a team like the Denver Broncos or the Cincinnati Bengals who go from middle-of-the-pack and downright putrid (respectively), to first in their respective divisions with decisive wins over some of the best teams in the league.
Then, you have a team like the Tennessee Titans who last year started off 10-0, and finished the season with an NFL-best 13-3, now start off 2009 at an astonishing 0-5.
That means that in the Titans' last 11 games, they're a very unimpressive 3-8.
What makes this even more mind-boggling is that while the Broncos added some new talent, and the Bengals have some guys back this year who were injured last year, the Titans have not changed their personnel in any meaningful way. They're the same basic squad that went 13-3 last year, but are now one of the few winless teams still floating around.
For crying out loud the Raiders, Lions, and Browns all have 1 of those elusive W's, while last year's best team is looking at a goose egg.
I don't mean to sound repetitive or redundant but, that's incredible.
The Titans obviously overachieved last season, and now teams are starting to figure out how to stop "Smash 'N' Dash" and Ol' Graybeard, which completely shuts down their offense. Then on defense, the secondary doesn't look like it could cover my old high school team.
By the way, my high school team passed 96 times my senior year. Total. 96 times. We went 7-3 so stop judging right now. We rushed for over 2,000 yards. Judge now.
Anyway, I digress.
How long until we see VY? I'm taking bets if you'd like to email them in to me. I've got my money on two weeks.
They have Tom Brady and the Patriots next week, so it's going to be another disaster. Why not toss in the guy who you've already said still is considered the future of your franchise? Honestly, at 0-6, you have literally nothing to lose.
I mean, either way, you've got one hell of an expensive backup filled with unfulfilled expectations and a laundry list of emotional baggage.
By the way, Kerry Collins is from my hometown of Lebanon, PA.
That's not relevant to this, I just thought you should know. Tell your friends.
