A Review Of The Tennessee Titans Quarterback Play This Year

This season, the Tennessee Titans used a number of different quarterbacks, and they were all unable to score points reliably.The Tennessee Titans expected to win the AFC South heading into the 2023 NFL season. The Titans’ offseason acquisition of wide receiver DeAndreTreylon Burks, rise to these expectations. In addition to ensuring that the passing offense would be successful, this free-agent acquisition was meant to open up some lanes for star running back Derrick Henry to discover in the running game. All three of the Titans’ quarterbacks played inconsistently, though, so the Hopkins addition was essentially meaningless. To be honest, the quarterbacks who were already having trouble were not helped by the lack of quality in the receiving group other than Hopkins. Treylon Burks, a wide receiver, was predicted by many fans to develop into a respectable receiving threat for the quarterbacks of the Titans in 2023. He had an impressive debut season in For the fourth consecutive season, veteran quarterback Ryan Tannehill was selected as the Tennessee Titans’ opening-week starter. Despite the fact that the Titans selected quarterback Will Levis in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, almost everyone anticipated this. Things did not go as planned for too long since the quarterback position became a contentious issue during the first game against the New Orleans Saints. It was one of Tannehill’s worst games in a long time. He did not find the end zone once while throwing three interceptions. In addition, he completed less than half of his passes, which contributed to his awful start to the season. Many supporters wanted to bench Tannehill in favor of Levis or second-year quarterback Malik Willis after the Titans narrowly lost the game.For five more games, the seasoned quarterback kept his starting position. Nevertheless, he suffered an injury during the Baltimore Ravens game in week six. Willis was pushed into action due to this injury in the fourth quarter of a one-score game, where he struggled to move the ball and was sacked four times. In less game time, Willis took twice as many sacks as Tannehill, despite the offensive line being particularly awful. In light of Tannehill’s injury and Willis’s lackluster play, the Titans turned to Levis in the wake of their Ravens defeat. Fortunately for Levis, the club had a bye week, giving him two weeks to get ready for his first start .After watching Levis toss four touchdown passes in a victory during his first start, many fans were optimistic about the Titans’ season. With this victory, the Titans improved to 3-4 and are still in contention for the AFC South lead. Levis struggled in the next two games despite his great rookie debut performance. The offense was unable to produce many points as a result of his two interceptions and zero touchdown passes. Despite a stronger statistical showing in his fourth start, the Titans were unable to score until they were trailing by 27 points. After the Titans’ three losses, their record dropped to 3-7, and many supporters began to anticipate the upcoming campaign. Despite defeating the 1-9 Carolina Panthers, the Titans’ offense was unable to Levis also enjoyed success in week 14, when he guided the Titans to a one-point victory over the Miami Dolphins. Late in the fourth quarter, Levis helped the Titans overcome a 14-point deficit with a career-high 327 passing yards. Levis had a lackluster game against the Houston Texans after that, tossing one interception and scoring one touchdown on the ground. To be fair, Levis carried the offense by himself on 16 attempts, while Henry managed just nine rushing yards. Unfortunately, a couple of ankle injuries after being fired kept Levis from playing much in the final three games. Tannehill received almost all of the remaining snaps as a result, and he led the Titans to one victory in the following three games. Titans supporters have repeatedly seen that Tannehill is incapable of leading a team to the Super Bowl. Titans supporters were reminded by Tannehill’s 2023 campaign that a new quarterback is required. Although Tannehill has the ability to put together a few strong games, he struggles in crucial situations. The Titans will probably stick with their young draft picks and not re-sign veteran quarterback Ryan Tannehill because this season was the last one left on his deal. Willis was never given the chance to fully showcase his abilities in the NFL. Willis felt like he was playing with every opportunity, and not many players can be effective behind a bad offensive line. But he has never been able to move the ball well during a game and usually takes a lot of sacks. Thus, Willis probably won’tThroughout his debut season, Levis had a few moments of exceptional play, but such were few in number. In addition to having a fantastic debut in his first start, he threw four interceptions and four touchdowns. Prior to the NFL Draft, Levis’ inconsistent football throwing and bad decision-making were the main areas of concern. Given that both quarterbacks this season made terrible decisions when throwing the ball, these worries are comparable to Tannehill’s. Levis ought to start the entire season because he is younger than Tannehill. Levis will have time to address his shortcomings thanks to this chance. Even though 2024 appears to be the Titans’ rebuilding year, a lot of supporters are hoping that Levis becomes better this offseason.
