So, The Tennessee Titans Still SUCK.

So, The Tennessee Titans Still SUCK.

The Titans were the worst team in the NFL last season and so far every indication is that nothing has really changed. They were able to draft Cam Ward first overall and get a muchneeded quarterback who could potentially be a franchise guy, but we’re already at the point where it’s time to ask how much longer Brian Callahan has at head coach. It’s only been 21 games, but it’s been ugly. He’s only won three games as an NFL head coach and hasn’t even won yet this season. Tennessee is 0 and4 and just dropped a stinker to the Texans who were 0 and3 entering the game. Things are bad in Tennessee and whether or not Cam Ward is in fact the guy for the long-term future. The question is whether or not Brian Callahan is the guy who should be making the decisions leading the way. And every indication so far says no. Simply put, the Titans suck right now. And even Cam Ward knows it. I mean, we keeping a book right now. We ass. Brian Callahan got hired to be the Titans head coach in 2024. So yeah, not that long ago. Granted, it was in January. He had been on a stretch of success as the offensive coordinator for the Bengals when they made the Super Bowl in 2021. And Joe Burrow had a ton of success. The offense put up insane numbers. And that’s what happens when you have loaded talents like Jamar Chase, T. Higgins, and Joe Mixon. But that season got a lot of eyes on Callahan, and he ultimately got a shot to be the Titans head coach after they moved on from Mike Vrabel. Callahan inherited Will Levis as his starting quarterback, so not exactly an ideal situation. The roster was also just not very talented, and that remains to be the case now. The Titans had a rough season last year. They went 3 and4 and ended the season on a six-game slide. The lone wins came against the Dolphins, Patriots at home, and the Texans. That was bad enough to get the first overall pick at the 2025 NFL draft, and it was no secret that the Titans needed to go quarterback. There was the wonder of who deserved to go one and what quarterback it could be with names like Jackson Darden Sanders getting some buzz, but sure enough it was Cam Ward. The Titans really have been in quarterback purgatory for a minute now, but they’ve definitely tried through the draft to fix that. As the Titans, there have been a lot of bigname guys drafted to be the franchise guy going all the way back to even Steve McNair and Vince Young. Jake Locker was a 2011 first round pick, but he didn’t last. Marcus Mariota went second overall and he wasn’t the answer only for Ryan Tanahill to come in and take over and lead Tennessee to an AFC Championship game. Then the Titans drafted Malik Willis in 2022 in the third round. And he was a guy who was expected to be in the first round, but wasn’t. He fell all the way down the draft board and only got three starts with the Titans and threw three picks without a single touchdown. And then the Titans did it again, taking Will Levis in the second round in 2023 after he was mostly expected to be a firstround pick, too. But unlike Willis, he really did get a chance to be the guy. He started nine games as a rookie and actually wasn’t too terrible that year. He had eight touchdowns to four picks and rush for a touchdown. So, he returned to be the starter in 2024. And he was terrible. He had some viral, funny, bad, hilarious highlight plays during that season that made one thing very clear. The Titans had to move on. He had 13 touchdowns to 12 interceptions. And honestly, it’s shocking that the numbers were even that good. Levvice was not the guy for the Titans, but he did get them to the first overall pick and that led to them getting a shot to draft Cam Ward. Ward did have a great final season at Miami that rose him into being a top pick at the NFL draft. It was his only year at Miami, but it was definitely a successful one. Surrounded by easily the best talent of his college career, Ward threw for 4,313 yards, 39 touchdowns, and seven interceptions while completing 67.2% of his passes. He was a consensus all-American and the ACC player of the year. He isn’t a very mobile guy, and that was the case there, as he had just 204 rushing yards and four touchdowns. He was a consensus all-American and the ACC player of the year. Miami was good and it put Ward in the spotlight every single week. The Canes were 10-2 and 6-2 in the ACC before losing in the Pop-Tarts Bowl, a game where Ward actually broke the career record for passing touchdowns in a career, but a lot of those weren’t actually at the FBS level. Before Miami, Ward was at Washington State for two seasons, and the two years before that, he was at FCS Incarnate Word. It was a long 5-year college career, but it all worked out because he got his name called first overall at the draft. From the moment that he got drafted, it was pretty obvious that he was going to be the week one starter. Will Levis is still there, although he’s out for the year regardless, and the backup is veteran Brandon Allen. That’s a quarterback room with a rookie quarterback is the clear choice to start. Unfortunately though, that doesn’t mean that the roster is good enough to compete even with an upgraded quarterback. Safe to say it’s been a pretty rough start to the season for the Titans, but their one-score loss was actually in week one against the Broncos. Denver is a tough spot for an NFL debut, but Ward did show some flashes. Still, his line wasn’t exactly impressive. He went 12 of 28 for 112 yards and had a 9.3 QBR. There were some good moments, but yeah, he was a rookie in his first start. The Titans failed to score a touchdown and it was four Joey Sly field goals that led the way to a 20 to12 loss for the Titans. Somehow though, Tennessee was up decently late in the third quarter, but then the Broncos just woke up. Then Cam Ward’s home opener came against the Rams, which are also a really talented team. He did throw his first NFL touchdown in the matchup, and as far as first NFL touchdowns go, that one was insane and also something he should probably never do again. Down in the red zone, Ward gets pressured and gets away and makes a crazy throw on the run across his body back to the other side of the field to Ellioman. It’s just an awesome play and also an insanely dangerous play, but it’s a sick first touchdown nonetheless. The Titans managed to lead 13 to 10 at halftime, but the Rams then got going and won 33-9 pretty convincingly. Ward finished 19 of 33 for 175 yards and a touchdown. The Titans then hosted the Colts in week three, their first divisional game, and Cam Ward did throw his first interception, and it was definitely costly. Ward was due for a mistake, and it was really ugly. He just kind of floats one up, and it was an easy pick for Kenny Moore, and he took it the distance for a pick six. So, it was bad, but he did rebound a bit afterwards. The Titans got beat 41 to 20, and Ward threw another touchdown in the matchup, hitting Manor on fourth and goal. Ward went 23 of 38 for 219 yards in the matchup. Even with how bad and up and down the Titans season was going, week four was absolutely rock bottom. And it makes you wonder where you go from here. The Texans were 0 and3 coming into the game, just like Tennessee. And the Titans just got embarrassed. They got shut out and dominated 26 to0. Ward was 10 of 26 for 108 yards in a pick. Not sure if the interception is one to blame on Ward really. It’s a throw to Io Manor and it gets deflected before Derek Stainley picks it off. It was an ugly game all around and it does make you start to wonder of when Brian Callahan gets fired or just how long he can last at this point. Everything is going super poorly for the Titans right now. And even if Cam Ward is showing some promise and the potential to be the franchise quarterback, it’s easier said than done with the guys around him. Cam Ward through four games has thrown for 614 yards, two touchdowns, and two picks. He’s completed 51.2% 2% of his passes and he’s rushed nine times for 42 yards. It’s definitely not been the best passing display, but it feels even worse when you look at some of the receiving numbers. The top receiver so far is Alec Ioman Manor, who has 12 catches for 151 yards on only two receiving touchdowns. Then Calvin Ridley, who is somehow rumored to be ready to break out every year for no reason, has 10 catches for 141 yards. Then tight end Shiggo Conquo is the only other guy with over a 100 yards receiving with 124 on 13 catches. Fourthround rookie Gunnar Helm has seven for 64. Tyler Lockett has six for 46 and Tony Pard has six for 55. Pard is the clear top rusher and Ward is actually second. Pard is rushed 68 times for 261 yards and a touchdown. He’s really had to carry the load early on, too, with Tai Spears being out on IR because of an ankle injury. But luckily, he’ll be back soon. The offense has clearly been an issue, and you’d think Brian Callahan would be a good fit for Cam Ward considering, you know, he was a quarterback’s coach, but it’s just not working. Even then, it’s still early, but at some point, he’s going to get the boot, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was soon. But at the end of the day, all that matters for the future now is Cam Ward.

The Tennessee Titans were the worst team in the NFL last season and it got them Cam Ward. But the Titans are still terrible and the question is how much longer Brain Callahan has left.
