Tennessee Titans: Ryan Tannehill is a franchise builder
The best quarterback an NFL team could ask for is a quarterback that you can build your franchise around, and Ryan Tannehill is that quarterback.
After the 2019 season, we all know what Ryan Tannehill is capable of and what he can bring to the Tennessee Titans in the future. Pro Football Focus is also giving him some recognition after the best season of his career.
PFF analyst Anthony Treash ranked the top-10 NFL quarterbacks to build a franchise around, and Tannehill fell right in the middle at number five. That is perfectly in the middle of Jameis Winston at fourth and Tom Brady at sixth.
"“We’ve said it before, but I’m going to say it again — PFF has never seen a year-over-year improvement like what Ryan Tannehill did from 2018 to 2019, when he went from producing one of the lowest passing grades we have ever seen in a single season to become the NFL’s highest-graded quarterback,” Treash wrote. “That in itself proved that the soon-to-be 32-year-old can be a viable quarterback with the right team.”"
Tannehill passed the eye test in the second half of the season while he was the starting quarterback and also dominated in the stat book. He had one of the highest passer ratings in the league at the end of the season and the highest fourth-quarter passer rating.
He also led the league in play-action passer rating with a 140.6 rating. With all that being said, Tannehill is undoubtedly one of the best quarterbacks to build a franchise around, and if the Titans let him walk, then it will be a big mistake.

I don’t think the decision is a difficult one for the Titans, but it seems like it’s more difficult than others think in the front office. As of right now, Tannehill is the best quarterback for the Titans future, and the Titans can not let him walk.
