Who Should I Start? Sam Darnold or Will Levis

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold will take over 90 percent of the offensive snaps in 2025, according to head coach Mike Macdonald. The Seahawks took former Alabama QB Jalen Milroe in the third round of this year's NFL draft, but not to immediately push Darnold for the starting job. But even if Milroe doesn't overtake Drew Lock for the backup gig, the speedy Milroe should see the field early on in packages designed to take advantage of his elite ground game. There was pre-draft speculation that Milroe could be used in a similar way to Saints utility man Taysom Hill, who Seattle offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak coached last year. Macdonald made it clear that Milroe will only play QB. Darnold earned the right to be Seattle's starter in 2025 after a career year in Minnesota, but it will be difficult to live up to his 2024 numbers with a group of wideouts that aren't nearly as gifted as what Darnold was working with in Minnesota.

Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan isn't rushing to make any announcements on the team's starting quarterback despite the team taking Cam Ward with the first overall pick in this year's NFL draft. So far as the Titans work through Phase 2 of their offseason activities, Ward and Will Levis have split reps evenly. "It will change probably a little bit when we get to the next phase of OTAs and there's some 7-on-7," Callahan said Tuesday. Callahan also praised both signal-callers with how they've handled the situation so far. Levis worked with personal QB coach Jordan Palmer in California in the offseason, while Ward has been gradually getting to know his new teammates while learning the playbook. Callahan said it's premature to name Ward the starter since there is a lot of work to be done in the next three months, but it will be a surprise if the Miami product isn't starting in Week 1 on the road against Denver.
