For the Tennessee Titans, the entire 2025 season was going to be deemed a success or failure based on whether Cam Ward showed signs that he could be a franchise quarterback for the team to build around.
For Mike Borgonzi and Chad Brinker, and everyone else who survived the postseason purge, the good news is that Ward looks like this team's franchise QB. Despite facing the NFL's toughest schedule, he endured the tough times and steadily improved each week as the season concluded.
Now that Ward has proven that he can survive being on a bad team with bad coaches, the goal now is to surround him with the most talented group of players and coaches the Titans can find, even if that means steering away from offensive players early in the 2026 NFL Draft.
