Predicting each AFC South team's record for the 2019 NFL season

#4 Tennessee Titans: 7-9

Marcus Mariota

After having three straight 9-7 seasons, the Titans don't seem to be much better than they were in 2018. Yes, I did just recently give their 2019 draft an 'A,' and they deserved it. But they still have major question marks at the QB position. Can Marcus Mariota, the former #2 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, live up to what the Titans and their fan base expect him to be?

As many sports experts and fans know, the best ability is availability. And Mariota hasn't played a full 16-game season since being drafted in 2015. His 11:8 TD:INT ratio and 2,528 passing yards in 2018 are mediocre at best. Ryan Tannehill, whom the Titans traded for back in March, is not exactly an adequate replacement (or starter), for that matter.

Although I do like the a lot of the additions they made this offseason, which include wideout Adam Humphries, defensive end Cameron Wake, left guard Rodger Saffold, and a great 2019 draft class, I'm still not sold on Mariota being the long-term solution at QB for the Titans. Until Tennessee can resolve their QB dilemma, they'll continue to be at the bottom of the AFC South barrel.
