The Official Tennessee Titans thread IV

I know I’ve been hyping him since well before we drafted him, but I think a lot of people already holding him on a savior’s pedestal are delusional. Cam seems to be heading in the right direction, but he’s still going to be a rookie…on a pretty bad team no less. He’s going to go 3 and out a lot, he’s going to throw interceptions, he’s going to fumble and have busted plays, get sacked, etc. What I’m looking for is how he comes back from that. Can he adjust? Can he have goldfish memory when he needs to? Are we moving the ball, ever? That’s what I’ll measure this season with. Anything more than slow, steady progress will be icing on the cake.

Not to mention outside Ridley questionable receivers and offensive line but through two preseason games the line seems much improved.

Ayomanor is a gonna be WR1 before the end of the season, imo. I really like what I've seen from him. Crisp routes and he has a knack for finding empty space.

He's not going to have a better season than Ridley and overtake him as WR1. That's crazy

Ridley is 30 and he'll be 31 in December. And he is averaging only 59.8 YPG over the last 2 seasons. He's more of a WR1 by default than he is a true No. 1. It isn't like Ayamanor is trying to overtake Jamar Chase.

2 words. Will Levis

He was the same receiver with Trevor Lawerence throwing him footballs. And while Trevor Lawrence isn't amazing, he's an average NFL starting QB. I think we would all be pretty happy if Cam Wards rookie season resembled T-Law's 2023 season.

Ridley has 1 great year in his career. Every other year he has been good/not great. Sort of a borderline WR1.

I think Ridley is going to be a stud this season. Looks like he already has a strong connection with Ward. We need someone to step up as a #2 though cause Van Jefferson looks terrible.

He had a 1k yard season with Levis throwing him the ball last year. 1k yards should be the floor for this season. The Titans haven't had a WR post more than 1100 yards since Drew Bennett in 2004.

Because he played in 17 games.

AJ Brown easily eclipses those marks as a rookie and as a year 2 receiver if he plays 17 games in both seasons. Corey Davis averaged 70.3 YPG as WR2 in 2020. Other than Hopkins, no other Titans WR1 has played 17 games in a season.
