How am I speaking in absolutes? 

 

I've said I could be wrong but I doubt it. You guys infer way too much.

 

If I'm speaking in absolutes then pretty much everyone here is by that standard. 

 

When you guys say "Ward is a franchise QB" that isn't an absolute but when I respond "no, he isn't " it is.

 

If you say "he's worth the first pick" it isn't  but  when I say "he isn't " it is.

 

When I state my opinion that drafting him is just drafting a qb because you don’t have one it's an absolute to you. Unfuckingbelievable.

Who is “you guys”?

Simms says Ward is the clear #1 and would be #3 last year in the same tier as Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels

If I could see a video of Ward being quizzed on protections and analysis of a play AND hear a legitimate breakdown of his responsibilities at the LOS, then I could give an honest opinion. I'll never get that access. We fans only see that stuff after a player becomes great. The word gets out years later about his evaluation and what present impressions were. 

 

Sometimes I watch his games and am in awe of his touch, timing, and grit. Sometimes, I'm like W T F are you doing? I also don't know if any of these plays are based on luck or if some of his bone headed stuff was caused by other players doing dumb shit. I hear he has an amazing work ethic and is competitive af. 

 

The PopTart Bowl stuff is a positive for me, not a negative. He did everything he could for that team except play the last half of a meaningless game. He put up an entire game of production in 2 quarters and the defense (per usual) shit the bed. 

 

I'd rather they take him and see if some magic can become of it rather than slowly build this team up hoping to land a QB later or develop one that doesn't have the grade to be selected in the 1st or 2nd.

If Borgonzi's evaluation of Ward is anywhere close to what Simms was saying you run to the podium.

I expect as @AussieTitanFan08 has mentioned, Borgonzi will draft BPA (matching the value of the position with their draft grade). He will only select for need if the grade matches the other players available AND need is higher for the position. 

 

QB is pretty fucking high, but if Ward doesn't grade out as high as the other players, I don't think they'll pass up on the other player just because Ward is a QB. A lot of these scouts and office people will be pounding the table for him, and some will be naysayers. The plan based on their FA acq appears to be draft a QB at 1. 

What they've done with the QB says how they value Ward. There's simply no other player worth the first pick. Unless a team blows them away, say the Giants with 2 firsts and their second, then Ward is a Titan. Even with that offer we are unsure if they would bite, though I think personally they would.

He's correct. He isn't as good as Daniels as a prospect, but he's better than the rest, including Williams. I'm okay with saying that after watching more and going back a bit through Williams senior year where he was an emotional wreck and played almost completely out of the system.

He’s a Titan.

Was also a huge fan of that TE that we drafted in 2023 .

 

But he hated Levis.  So at the worst, he could be a broken clock.

If anyone was able to predict which QBs would succeed in the NFL they wouldn't be giving it away for free.

 

Drafting Ward is a crap shoot just like it always has been.

If it was that easy to predict half the league wouldn't need a QB.

 

Sure hope he's right though if we take him. We badly badly need this. Franchise QB changes everything.

Daniel Jeremiah has a new mock draft coming out tomorrow lets see if he is ready to concede defeat with Ward to the Titans yet didn't seem he was there yet on the 40's and Free Agents show late last week.
