You say that and yet people are clearly talking about him like he's a slam dunk and ignore any mention of fumbling, inaccurate throws, bad reads, hero ball, etc. And how you get that @AussieTitanFan08 post are all "we gotta fill everything now" is hilarious. Then provide the evidence. Even @AvgJoe(who is leading the charge to draft Ward) isn’t ignoring the red flags. So, something is up. Provide the people saying this stuff. I’m always willing to change my mind based on evidence, but I don’t see it. No, it actually makes sense. Aussie just wants to accumulate picks and that’s reasonable given the state of the roster. However, we aren’t re-tooling the roster in one off-season. The quickest way to get back to relevancy without all the picks is hitting on the Qb. Maybe I’m misreading Aussie based on his posting style, so it is what it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rns90 Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 1 hour ago, FireInTheHole said: Who acts like it’s a slam dunk pick? Most are just trusting the Titans are doing their homework and making the best evaluation as possible. You’re the only one consistently just saying “yeah, no. He isn’t worth it” which is just silly. They are in position to pick one and have decided on Ward. And now will build the rest of the team around him. If you think that’s bad, look at what the Giants are doing with trying to find a qb.

Assuming the Titans accepted a trade down they would start some combo of Levis/Allen and a QB drafted later in this year's draft. titanskick8851, and Justafan 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OILERMAN Posted March 16 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 16 1 hour ago, Justafan said: People probably won't want to hear this, but the QB most likely to be competitive in 2025 is Will Levis, and that includes drafting Cam Ward, who will almost certainly struggle early. I bet Levis isn't on the 2025 roster. Why sign Allen if their is any future plans for Levis oldschool, Starkiller, rns90, and 2 others 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has traits and he isn’t awful like Levis. I can get behind it. And no one was offering enough to get them to move the pick. They weren’t solving this in one offseason anyway. And I kind of like them starting Ward right off instead of having him sit for a year , unless they acquire another vet qb. FireInTheHole 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 (edited) The problem with @AussieTitanFan08 stance is that he assumes the Titans brass is unsure of Ward because he hates Ward. Many have said all along, if the team likes Ward, they will draft him because they believe in him, not as a fuck it moment because they need a QB. Fans and draft nerds in particular need to stop applying their biases to every thing the team may or may not do. Its really simple, nothing has changed the past 2 months.... Does Ward grade out for the Titans? If the answer is no, everything is on the table. If he does, he's the pick. Its a binary/sequential equation. Just because someone doesn't like Ward or thinks he's not worth the #1 pick, doesn't change how the Titans are approaching this, nor should it.

Like I said in my thread, if they call with some bullshit about next year's second then we laugh them off the phone and tell them to enjoy early retirement seeing as neither will ever get hired again at their current positions. If we are coming off Ward they're going to have to be bled dry to get him. I said that before the QB carousel left us with some scrub backup QB...so that's double so now.

AvgJoe Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 I said for the last two months that once the team met Ward and spent time with him, the narrative would change and I felt it would be less likely we trade down. Seems like that’s exactly what happened. I think the tape had them considering him and the in-person shifted their mindset. Word around Miami is that Cam’s family and reps fully expected NY until two weeks ago and now believe it is TN. And they are relieved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t really bother signing a qb who could start (even for a few games) so it’s Ward from day one and really it’s probably the best for the franchise.

BudsOilers Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 The view of people attacking Ward is a BS stance. It's a fact that as a prospect he's not viewed anywhere near who would be a normal #1 overall pick. He's small. Inconsistent accuracy/lazy mechanics. Questionable decision making under pressure. Average at anticipatory throws. I mean Levis has these issues aside from the size part. Proponents can point to Mahomes as a best cast comp. Problem is you can point to a bunch more of guys that range from mid plus to flat out busts with a similar set of issues. One thing lost in the discussion by the Ward group that for being a #1 overall pick, he HAS TO BE GREAT. If he's not unquestionably the best QB in franchise history (better than McNair, Moon, or Tannehill level play), it's a botched use of the draft capital and an overdraft. He'll have through 2026, assuming he's the pick, the prove he's worthy or not. Kcroy420, WG53, rns90, and 1 other 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BudsOilers Posted March 16 Report Share Posted March 16 And @AussieTitanFan08 is 100% correct that it's a rebuild and that their best way to build a sustainable contender is to build through the draft and that requires more picks. No pick will do that more so that the #1 overall pick. Now odds are that they will have a top 5 pick next year so there's always a chance they can punt the trade down for a haul until next year.
