While culture fits are important, what the Titans need is more talent

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Can you overvalue culture?

Finding team-first guys who are great teammates has been a giant theme for Jon Robinson is his two years on the job, and Mike Vrabel echoes the sentiment.Hubbard2

As we’ve built toward the draft I’ve been thinking a lot about just how valuable culture is, and if it can be overvalued.

While I wouldn’t want the Titans actively seeking or endorsing locker room problems – we saw that unfold with the beloved Pacman Jones – talent is ultimately a trump card for most.

“Teammates are very important and having the respect of your teammates and knowing that you are going to put it all on the line for them is a very powerful thing," Jon Robinson recently told The Midday 180. "They can play above their talent on paper.”

I agree, but I have this underlying fear that the Titans could go too far on culture and not far enough on talent.
