When Tency Titans fired the general manager, a year later, a year after one year coach Mike Vrabel was selected in a power Struggle, Karthan ran, making Titans like a directionless franchise.
This was really a moment of clarity. Titans owner Amy Adams Strant provided a blunt and serious assessment, where he had the franchise.

Strant said in a statement, “It is impossible to ignore that our football team has not improved in the last two years.” “I am deeply disappointed in our bad victory-defeat records during this period, but my decision also talks about my concern about our long-term future, we should stay in the course.”
The 3–14 season was a wake-up call. Titans not only fell into the lower part of NFL, they slipped deep into ambiguity. Tennessee was really terrible but other than that Regular levis mems And no one cared for the first year head coach Brian Kailahan’s external enmity towards Lewis. He had no identity, no marketing star, a decay roster and only one hope for the future.
This was the first pick of Asha Draft. Titans could pick or move the Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter, but they knew that the best way for relevance was hitting back on a pick in quarterbacks. Hence the Cam Ward is a Titan.
The ward, the only true standout quarterback likely in a weak draft class, provides that Tennessy provides the opportunity to advance. Even after starting at the bottom, even after starting his college trip in the word avatar. He started there as he had no FBS scholarship proposal.

Ward’s first college game was on February 27, 2021, when the word avatar opted to play a spring schedule after Kovid -19. It was in the state of Mcneese and 2,394 people were in attendance. His final game in Sam Houston State was 743 in that season, 743 official appearance.
The Titans are not the term avatar, but the ward is not starting at the top of the food chain in its NFL career. In the last 22 sessions of Tennessee, Titans have won three divisions. Since losing Super Bowl XXXIV on 30 January 2000, he has won only five playoff games. The franchise has never won a super bowl. Titans have tried more to find a quarterback in the first three rounds of the draft after hitting Steve Maccare several years ago: Vince Young, Jake Locker, Marcus Marcus Maroca, Malik Willis, Lewis. Young, locker and Maroota were all selected in the top eight in total. None of them succeeded.
In the Steps ward, who set NCAA records with 158 Touchdown Pass, which are in the word avatar, Washington State and then Miami.
“His journey is unique,” Calhan said“When his ability to join new places, new faces, new colleagues, and all of them was incredibly impressive, he experienced many things.”

There is a long way to go and the ward will not fix it all. There were some bright spots on the roster-Jafri Semans are a star on the defensive line, 2024 miscreant DT T’Swondre Sweat and CB Jarvis Brownie Junior made a promised debut, Tony Pollard and Calvin Ridley had 1,000-gajas in the position of a crook near the rogue. If the ward is a hit, it is at least a beginning.
“I just want a shot and I will take advantage of it the most,” Ward said“For them, I know for them to draft number one, they will not regret it. I will make sure they do not.”

Office grade
Drafting Cam Ward was an easy part. The pathetic weather of Titans earned him the first pick, and it was quickly clear that the ward was worth that pick. Construction around the ward is a big step. The team tried to improve the average aggressive line below, in which Dan Moore Junior was tackled with a four -year, $ 82 million deal. Moore was overped, but it is difficult to get aggressive line help. Titans also signed veteran guard Kevin Zitler. Those acquisitions, the first round of 2023 pick Peter Scoronsky, the first round of 2024 pick Jessie Latham and Center Lloyd Kushennberry should calm the line. Lineback Kodi Bartons, Edge Defender Draft Jones and Safety Xavier Woods in Free Agency and Lineback Oluvafami Oldejo were addition to the defense in the second round of the draft. This was a fine start for a long -term project.

Quarterback report
The Cafar ward clearly distanced itself in a quarterback draft class, with not another cuby in the top 24 pics. The production of ward in the college is undisputed. He had 18,184 career passing yards with 158 touchdowns and also fled for 20 touchdowns. Their NFL symptoms are also good. He does everything at a higher level, even if the strength of his arm is not necessarily not a top level (Yahoo Sports’ read this breakdown of the ward for the in-depth look from the Nate Tice). Given the ward’s skill set and their long college career, three schools played 57 games, it is possible that they have immediate effect. The NIL/transfer era in college football is coming up with abundance of ward experience.
Betmgm obstacles rupture
From Yahoo’s Ben Fox: “Titans were almost impossible 2–15 against spreading in the previous season-the worst ATS mark for any team in the Super Bowl era. Even after preparing the QB Cafar Ward No. 1, they are only two matches in this season and have no prime-time matchup. 200 to 1 super bowled. That betmgmThis can be another long season in Nashville. ,
Take Yahoo’s fantasy
From Yahoo’s Scott Pianowski: “Calvin Ridley is no longer an exciting fantasy player entering his age -31 season. But he is also the best target in the Tennessi receiver room, and now that Titans have a reliable QB starter in the Cam ward, Ridley last year.”
Statue
The Titans had a -16 turnover margin last season. Only on Las Vegas Reders, -22, worse. The clear criminal was a bad quarterback game. Will Lewis threw 12 interception (and they always came at the worst time) and Mason Rudolf had nine. Titans also lost 13 Fambles, and their 34 GIVEAWAYs were the most tied in NFL. There was not much on defense then. Security Aman Hooker had five inter -obstructions and no other Titans’ players did not have more than one. Getting defense to perform more drama should be a major priority. But until Titans take better care of the ball, it will change slightly. If the Cafar ward can be safely secure and avoid having a huge turnover season, it will be upgraded to Tennessee alone.
Burning question
Is Brian Calhan the correct answer?
The official line of Titans after a poor season was that Calhan was a new head coach and new play-collar, and that he was about to take more than a year to grow in his job.

Chad Brinker, president of the Titans of Football Operations Chad Brinker “Brinker was one of the hottest candidates last year, and we believe in Brian, and we want to give him an opportunity to develop in the head coach.” Told the team’s site“He knows, and we have talked about it, that it was not quite good this year.”
It is okay to be patient, but there were many concrete reasons for being optimistic that the coaches would be a great coach. Titans were not better. His outbreak was a bit shocking in Will Lewis’ mistakes. Kailahan did not have much on his resume, besides being an aggressive coordinator with Bangles, who did not call the plays. He had a positive reputation around the league and hence he was hired, but Titans were justified to move forward after a frightening season. They are glued with their evaluation of the colon, but the results improve this season better.
Best case landscape
It was not that everyone was high on 2023 Texas or 2024 commanders. A home run pick in quarterbacks can change everything. It is very difficult to believe that Titans will climb a playoff spot like those two above teams, but it should not be a realistic goal anyway. If a better aggressive line helps in the camp, the ward hits its fraudulent roof and a defense that was not very bad in the previous season, even takes a minor step (2024 bust L’Sherius will help Saned Healthy), Titans can flirt with a.500 record. This will be a great season for Titans.
Dug landscape
We can see a scenario like 2024 beer, where it is very clear that the number 1 overall pick in quarterbacks was saddened with a coaching staff that would not have received another season. Only one season firing coaches should only be in urban mayor-level disaster conditions, but some signs were that Brian Calhan is a good head coach. In the career of the Cafar ward, it would soon be fat to find out that perhaps the 2024 Titans record was not the fault of all levisures. Ward should be a good player for Titans, although it is still impossible to know. If the aggressive line is not great, the job becomes very difficult, a thin skill position group does not help and coaching staff proves to be unfit. It would not be fun to ruin the ward to one year, although the Tennessi 2026 will be raised again in NFL draft.
Crystal ball says
The Cafar Ward Pick was correct and he would be a good player. This does not mean that he is going to be CJ Strawd or Jayden Daniel immediately. It sounds like incremental improvement for Titans, with a lot of disadvantages in this season but by the end of the season that the ward is the perfect basic piece. Then will bring some more talent to raise the next offsen roster.
