The Tennessee Titans have had more than their fair share of issues at quarterback — both at starter and backup — for about as long as we can remember in recent history.
They seem to have their guy at the No. 1 spot in Ryan Tannehill, but there’s no true experience behind him with Logan Woodside and seventh-round 2020 NFL Draft selection Cole McDonald as the options at backup.
It’s for that reason that Tennessee ranked at No. 31 — just one place away from the very bottom — of USA TODAY’s backup quarterback rankings.
Only the Seattle Seahawks, who recently signed former WSU quarterback Anthony Gordon, ranked lower on the list.
“Logan Woodside and rookie Cole McDonald offer little in the way of significant upside or NFL experience behind Ryan Tannehill,” the network’s Nate Davis wrote.
Davis placed the New Orleans Saints, who recently added both Jameis Winston and Tommy Stevens to go along with Taysom Hill, at the No. 1 spot.
There’s still plenty of time left in the offseason as the Titans prepare for 2020, and they could always bring a veteran presence into the room. Whether or not they’ll actually take the steps to do that remains to be seen, though.
It will be interesting to see what the quarterback room looks like when the Titans play their first regular season game on the road against the Denver Broncos on Sept. 14.
