When asked about his quarterback situation at the latest NFL owners’ meetings, Tennessee Titans coach Mike Vrabel said he would not guarantee that Ryan Tannehill would be the guy when the regular season started. His reluctance is understandable given what he said – and what ultimately happened – last offseason with wide receiver A.J. Brown. So, is it simply caution on Vrabel’s part, or is there a legitimate chance that the franchise could make a change at the most important position on the field? … Speaking of quarterbacks, Vrabel and/or general manager Ran Carthon have been or will be at the pro day workouts of the top five quarterback prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft. Either they simply are being thorough in their pre-daft prep or – if given the opportunity – the Titans will draft a quarterback for the second straight year. If Tennessee takes one of those top prospects, the panel looks at what it will mean for Tannehill and his current backup, Malik Willis. … Betonline.ag currently has the over/under for Titans wins in 2023 at 7.5, which is one of the lowest in the NFL. It is still early in the offseason, but there is reason to believe that is a proper number. … Finally, the Titans plan to wear Houston Oilers throwback uniforms for one game in 2023. Should it be when they face the Houston Texans, or would that be inappropriate?
Looking to the (Immediate?) Future
General manager Ran Carthon and coach Mike Vrabel have been talking about their quarterback and taking a look at some of the top quarterback prospects in the draft. Does their interest in young talent have more to do with Ryan Tannehill or Malik Willis, and what looks likely to happen at this stage of the offseason? Plus, the 2023 season looks like it will be a rough one for Tennessee, at least in the minds of oddsmakers, and the franchise will give a nod (and maybe a little something more) to its past this fall in a game that will feature throwback uniforms.
