It seems like one of the best ways to rebuild is to have a rookie QB on a cheap 5 year deal with tons of cap room and a high draft pick. Obviously the 49ers and Eagles are the best examples for this model and everyone is aware. We potentially have the QB moving forward even though its impossible to evaluate any QB behind this line. As far as the draft pick, we are clearly approaching one of the top picks.
My main question is, was it Carthon’s goal to roll out one of the worst possible rosters this year. I know it sounds very tin foil hat, but next year the Titans are creating the best environment for rebuild (Tons of cap space, cheap franchise QB, and high draft pick). If you were a GM and had to come up with a 5 year plan, how would you have approached this year? It would have been nice to have had a much better year, but would that benefited the Titans in the long haul? This year has been an absolute embarrassment, so I’m trying to wrap my head around what the hell is going on.
Wasn’t it reported that part of what AAS was looking for in the next GM was a belief this team was not going to need an extensive rebuild?
