After a disastrous performance in the Tennessee Titans’ season-ending loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in the divisional round, quarterback Ryan Tannehill now finds himself on the hot seat going into 2022. - But while many fans are ready to move on from Tannehill, Titans great Eddie George believes Tennessee should stay the course with their quarterback, according to TMZ. - “He can be the guy,” George said of Tannehill. “It’s just one of those days for Tannehill, and it’s unfortunate. The turnovers certainly didn’t help. They had a great year in spite of it. Get healthy next year with Derrick Henry, have Tannehill coming in, I think they can be alright with him.” - Can the Titans win a Super Bowl with Tannehill? George believes so. - “I think they can. You see (Jimmy) Garappolo is doing his thing there, they’re (the 49ers) right on the cusp of winning a Super Bowl, they’re still in the thick of things,” George said. “He’s (Tannehill) just got to cut down on the turnovers and find a way to come back.” - When asked if the Titans should explore an option like Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, George cautioned that “the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.” - “I wouldn’t go searching for something that — you know, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side,” George said. “I would ride it out.” - If the Titans do want to move on from Tannehill this offseason, it’ll be difficult. - Tannehill’s contract carries a dead-cap hit of $57.4 million if he’s cut, and his large cap hits over the next two years will make it tough to find a trade partner. - The most we expect the Titans to do is draft a quarterback with an eye on the future. We wouldn’t rule out Tennessee bringing in a more immediate, exciting solution, but it’s much more likely Tannehill will be the guy. - - RelatedTitans players take issue with Bengals TE saying Tennessee was scaredTitans select QB Malik Willis in CBS Sports mock draftOne alternative idea to NFL's current overtime rules - - List - - One free agent each team should want to sign in 2022 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Titans Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Titans Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
