Who Should I Start? Mason Rudolph or Cameron Ward

Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh said that the mechanical tweaks for quarterback Cameron Ward will be focused on his footwork, as opposed to his throwing motion, according to Turron Davenport of ESPN. Offensive coordinator Brian Daboll also acknowledged that he doesn't want to mess with Ward's throwing mechanics too much, as different QBs have different throwing motions. Unsurprisingly, Ward, the first overall pick last year out of the University of Miami, struggled in his first year in the NFL with the Titans. The 23-year-old completed under 60% of his 540 pass attempts for 3,169 yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 17 starts. He added 39 rushing attempts for 159 yards and two more scores. Although he did injure his right shoulder in the series finale, Ward should be just fine for Week 1 of the 2026 campaign. Ward could be an intriguing QB2 with upside in his sophomore season if his mechanics lead to better accuracy on the field with a new receiving weapon in wideout Wan'Dale Robinson.
