Titans player stunned over Ran Carthon firing in response on social media

It's been quite the week already, around the NFL. With coach and general manager firings happening in the wake of Black Monday, the Tennessee Titans joined in on the action, Tuesday, when they fired GM Ran Carthon in a questionable move.

Not only did the Titans fire Carthon, but they chose to keep head coach Brian Callahan, which is somewhat of a backwards way to do things for a team in their position. Owning the no. 1 overall pick, if the Titans were going to fire one, why not fire the other?

But then again, why fire either one of them to begin with? Everyone knows the reason this team underachieved was due to the quarterback position, period. As for the rest of the roster, it was pretty well-put together by Carthon. Still, he was fired.

Speaking of putting together a formidable roster, Carthon's recent rookie class was a very strong one, which makes his firing all the more confusing. One of those stout rookies, cornerback Jarvis Brownlee Jr., heard the news of Carthon's firing and took to social media in disbelief.

This isn't just a player reacting. No, this is an actual member of the Titans' 2024 rookie class making a short, sweet point about a decision that probably wasn't the right one.

Carthon found Brownlee in the fifth round of this past year's draft and he would go on to start 14 games for the Titans in his first season. Brownlee finished allowing an opposing passer rating of just 86.7 on the year while compiling nine pass breakups and one interception.

For a fifth-round pick, you couldn't have asked for much more than what Brownlee was able to give. And, we haven't even gotten to the rest of the group.

The Titans found a franchise cornerstone in offensive tackle JC Latham, not to mention took what was seen as a gamble on second-round defensive lineman T'Vondre Sweat. The latter turned out to be a force to be reckoned with up front, while Latham is still developing but showed promise at times, as a rookie.

Late in the draft, the Titans found Jha'Quan Jackson, who became a contributor on special teams immediately. The sixth-round rookie wide receiver out of Tulane handled 28 kick returns in 2024.

All things considered, Brownlee has a point. The Titans' rookie class was a strong one, this past year, and firing Carthon was a curious decision at the very least. If Carthon did what he did in the draft last year, compiled with the moves made via trade and free agency, why wouldn't he be allowed to stick around and see this thing through all the way to a franchise quarterback at no. 1 overall this spring?
