NFL OT: Falcons trading Julio Jones to Titans
Tennessee is looking nice. Will Vrabel roll over for Urban like Fickell did with Cincy a few years ago? I can't wait for Meyer to be humiliated and fail although he has a cakewalk schedule this year.
F&#k urban Meyer ???
I logged in solely to give you a thumbs-up..
I honestly wonder what everyone is thinking will happen with this guy when the going gets tough and he starts losing games. Which he will. He’s not going to run roughshod through the NFL like he did in the collegiate ranks. He’s not going to be able to just out-talent everyone like he did in college. Everyone has just as much talent as the Jags if not boatloads more of it.
How long before those health issues start reading their ugly head again?
I personally want to see Urban Meyer be slightly successful in the NFL. By that, I mean I want to see him do just well enough that he keeps his job but never does anything much beyond that.
This way he stays out of college football for a longer period of time. At the same time, you know it would frustrate him more than going belly-up in the NFL after a couple of seasons.
Similar to Harbaugh at Michigan?
Ducks
Dang, I was kind of hoping he'd end up in Arizona with Hopkins.
As a Niners fan, I’m very happy he’s in TN and not with either Arizona or LA!!!
Finally making win now moves!
Expectations in Tennessee must be Super Bowl or bust now, right? Feel like they've kind of been one piece away from taking that next step the last couple years. If Vrabel doesn't at least make the Conference Camp. game I imagine he'd be on a bit of a hot seat going into next year? I don't follow the Titians closely by any means, so I'm legit asking here.
I don't think he'll be on a hot seat if something happens in the playoffs. That said there's definitely a recognition that Henry will not be Henry forever and the window is closing so people may start to get crabby if the team doesn't at least look capable of going toe to toe with the better AFC teams.
Talk about a loaded offense. Derrick Henry, Ryan Tannehill, AJ Brown, and now Julio Jones. When that guy is healthy he’s a top-5 receiver in the league.
If you want to compete with KC and not let them dominate the AFC for the next decade, this is the way to do it.
I’m a huge AJ Brown guy. This might be the best WR tandem in the league IMO
Ehh maybe. Hard to argue with what Brady has down in Tampa with Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and AB. But this move definitely puts the Titans in position to make that claim.
Good trade for both. Will be interesting to see how good Jones will look with Tannehill throwing to him, as that's been a nice reclamation project
Better for Tennessee. Atlanta retained Ryan at age 36. Trade Jones.......WHY?
As a titans fan, I’m finna bust. Even if he is not as good as he once was, he still draws tons of attention from defenses and will help AJ Brown and Henry out.
Thanks for all the great memories Quintorris! I'm sorry that the Falcons couldn't finish the deal and get you a ring in either 2012 or 2016.
And thank you Tennessee for taking the entirety of the contract! Falcons desperately needed the money.
Concern with how much Julio has left. Injuries have been an issue. If he plays back to vintage Julio, it's a steal, otherwise that 2nd round pick may wind up being the better side of the deal.
