Evaluating Ryan Tannehill’s First Game and the Titans’ Future at Quarterback

One of the biggest questions for the Titans coming into the 2019 season was about the future of the quarterback position. What was supposed to be Marcus Mariota’s make-or-break year has seemingly become Ryan Tannehill’s prove-it campaign as he works to earn a starting job somewhere in the NFL in 2020.

Could that “somewhere” be Tennessee?

Tannehill finished his first start completing 23 of 29 passes (79.3%—a career high for Tannehill) for 312 yards and two touchdowns. He did throw one interception (not really his fault) and fumbled twice, both of which were recovered by the Titans.
