I mean I don't really blame him, he's playing a competant defense. He's looked bad vs. almost any competant defense. Cleveland is probably the best defense they put up 20 on. Basically they're winning because their defense has been really good.

Yeah, it just goes to show he's not the offensive genius he was heralded to be. Falcons were totally right to move on from him.

Holy **** that TD by Lamar. That's such an elite play that so few QBs can make.

Yeah, so far all the games are going exactly as planned, Baltimore and Buffalo boat racing lesser opponents who were good defenses who won games by keeping them tight until they hit elite QBs who owned them. Chargers may have been favored vs. Houston, but this is the same team who was boat raced by the Bucs. Not shocked that a good defense exposed their mediocre offense.

I think we saw our 2024 tuck rule.
I really hope the Titans don't take a QB this draft. Sanders and Ward weren't 1st round caliber QBs a year ago (granted it was a great QB class). And I haven't seen anything from either QB that has changed my mind that they really aren't your typical top 5 QBs.
Trade out of pick 1, or take Hunter/Carter. I would rather sign Darnold to the Baker Mayfield contract than to take a QB at No. 1 this year.

I mean it's a bit harsh to hold Cam/Sanders to the they could have come out last year. I think Sanders goes before Bo Nix if he came out last year but wanted to go top 5 and had a stupid NIL deal so it made sense to say.
That being said, I do think the smartest move is to hop out of the 1 pick and trade back with the Raiders or Giants. You'll get a haul of picks and can stink for another year and then hopefully be ready to compete by 2026/7
Titans are kind of a hot mess and need to rebuild fully like the Pats. Stick with Levis for one more year and hope to still suck hard and pick at the top of next year's draft. Or high enough that you can use your capital you gain from the Raiders or Giants to trade up to the top.
But this pick will depend on what the GM sells. I don't think Ward or Sanders have the makings of an NFL bust I think there are concerns and I think a team like the Titans would be better off really rebuilding.

Agree somewhat but bird in the hand... Ward and Sanders arent super elite QB prospects, but when you get a chance pick one early, you do it. We'll see.
The Titans most definitely will not stick with Levis and Rudolf again. We'll add a QB. Hopefully it's an NFL vet, rather than 1st round pick.
My preference would probably be Russell Wilson if he leaves Pitt. But he'll be in hot demand in the FA market. Worse comes to worse, sign Danny Dimes, He might as well be Aaron Rodgers when compared to Will Levis.

Anyone who signs Mr. Unlimited is a fool. He was barely better than Justin Fields. He'd be an OK stop gap QB for a team that has a kid they're developing or is a fringe playoff team looking to get in. But he wasn't that good last year. He was basically the same he was in Denver. He was OK. a perfectly cromulent QB. And at 36 he's going to start really showing signs of getting old. If Matty Ice started looking bad at that age, I cannot imagine Wilson aging any better.
Theonly advantage to him is he probably will be super pumped the first year and it would be kind of a show me deal. But I would stay away from him unless you draft a kid and want ot shelter them. like if you draft Ward and want to give him time to improve his throwing mechanics etc. then it would be one thing. But to hope he can lift you up to anything other than mediocrity is another.

Rams are an interesting team. Stafford is still good obviously, but he's showing signs of age and he's had injury issues. They should look to replace him and McVey I think is the kind of guy who could find someone later in the draft and turn them into someone good. Like I could see Gabriel or Riley Leonard doing well there learning the system for a year or 2 before taking over for Stafford.
Ideally, the Titans just sign a bridge QB for a year or two. Wilson would be perfect for that role. I don't have playoff aspirations. But I want to see something better than the ****show we got this year. I also want to see if Callahan has the chops to be a head coach, and we won't know that unless we have a capable QB.

No ****ing way the Titans would be that dumb.
But this could set up a wild scenario, where the Titans Draft Sanders number 1 and cannot sign him. THe Titans tell the Cowboys who they ideally want at the number 12 pick who also doesn't sign.. Then on June 2nd the Titans trade Shadeur's rights for Dak, the number 12 pick's rights and the Cowboys next 2 number 1s and their number 2. \
Never would happen. But it would be funny. The Cowboys can't trade Dak until June 1 to soften their cap hit.

Oh I wasn't talking about a straight up swap. The Cowboys have zero leverage in such a trade scenario. It would be Dak plus picks to move up to number 1 overall. The Titans will surely have offers from other teams that will include multiple 1st round picks and 2nd/3rd round picks. Dak isn't getting anywhere close to that value if the Cowboys decided to trade him in March.
