Two thoughts on this:
1. This is great for the Titans since they were going to be forced to cut McNair (thus getting nothing) pretty soon in order to have money to sign their draft picks. 2. This is one reason college sports is so much better than pro sports. As a fan of a pro team, you frequently have to watch as the players you used to cheer leave to go play for your rivals. In football, it is the teams in your division that are most familiar with your players. Steve McNair was a big part of the Titans for years, and now he will be playing for their nemesis. |

Does this mean that VY gets the nod on opening day for the Titans?

![]() On a serious note, who thinks this signals the end to Boller's stay at the helm in Baltimore? And, if Boller goes 2nd string do you think that is un upgrade for the Ravens or more of the same, but with an older and injury plagued QB? Finally, should McNair take the starting role is this really his last year - and what do the Ravens do for '07 and beyond? FWIW my thoughts are McNair gets the nod - possibly even before the season starts. It is more of the same, though with a more experienced, yet injury plagued QB. What the Ravens might do is actually draft a QB next year - or just continue with more of the same, possibly with a different cast. |

As a Titans fan, this is a quite painful loss. McNair, alongside Eddie George defined the Oilers/Titans team. In all honesty, the guy still might have enough left in the tank for two to three more quality seasons, before he runs out of gas, and his body gives out.
It'll be weird seeing McNair in another jersey, although I guess I'll have to get used to it. Quote:
Volek is definitely a solid QB, with plenty of experience. If any of you all can remember far enough back, in '04 he passed for like 2,500 yards in 8 starts, and one game he threw nearly 500 yards against the Raiders. However, I see a situation similar to the '04 Giants, when Warner and Eli were under center. Warner had like eight or nine starts, and then the Giants' office decided it would be beneficial to get Eli some playing time. On the other hand, the Titans will not be near as good as the '04 Giants (who weren't even that good to begin with). So Vince might have an oppurtunity by the sixth or seventh week of the season to get some needed playing time, that will definitely be beneficial for the Titans team and organization. Quote:
