airmcnair22 Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Funny quote to open the article “You don’t draft me,” Ward told the room, “and you’re gonna pay for it.” “Hey, man, everybody says that,” Callahan responded. “That’s the dumbest s--- I’ve ever heard. Every quarterback in the world says that now, because Tom Brady said it way back in the day.” The coach then paused. “Do you mean that?” Callahan continued. “Is that really you?” “I mean it,” Ward responded. “And I stand on it.” “O.K.,” Callahan said. “Good. At least you’re not full of s---.” BudsOilers, Number9, and oldschool 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post airmcnair22 Posted April 28 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 28 I didn't want to post every quote, but the more I read the more excited I get. This quote is from his 30 day visit And over the course of the day, Ward bumped into Calvin Ridley, who was there to work out. After a brief conversation with Ward, Ridley went back to the brass with a simple, but impactful, message: “That’s the guy you want.” Number9, Justafan, NashvilleNinja, and 4 others 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, a big shout out to @JbgTenn for starting this Cam thread to begin with. Victory lap, incoming...

NashvilleNinja Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Quote The Titans were already well into their process, which began the moment Borgonzi’s introductory press conference ended Jan. 22. Later that day, the new GM and Callahan were on a plane to Dallas for the East–West Shrine Bowl practices. There, they’d meet two days later with Sanders, who’d come to talk with teams (rather than do any of the on-field work). Quietly, the digging on Ward started, too. Workouts were held on the Denton campus of North Texas, about 45 minutes north of Dallas, where a guy named Eric Morris was head football coach. Borgonzi knew the name because Morris was Patrick Mahomes’s offensive coordinator at Texas Tech—the new Titans GM had come from Kansas City, where he was a part of drafting the now-three-time Super Bowl champion quarterback. Morris left Tech in 2018 to become head coach at Incarnate Word. He recruited Ward there, then took him with him when left the FBS school to become offensive coordinator at Washington State in 2022. And while Borgonzi still had a lot to learn about the quarterback, Morris confirmed what he’d already seen on tape when they met in person in Denton.

Callidus Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 On 4/27/2025 at 2:32 PM, BudsOilers said: He did make a massive jump from the WSU play, which is why he didn't stay in the draft last year and pivoted to Miami. But that's not my point. From now on, it's completely irrelevant what he did in college. It doesn't matter anymore. It's all about how he does in the NFL and based on the investment, he needs to be a great/elite level QB. Not right of way of course but in 2026/2027 we should be discussing him with the best QB's in the game or it will be a disappointing ROI. If he isnt in the talk for top half of the league at some point next year and top 10 in 27 its not going to be lookong good. Expecting more than average play this year is to much. Especially with our roster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
