During an interview with Ben Arthur of The Tennessean, Titans GM Jon Robinson said, “Ryan’s a pro. He knows how much he means to us……. I think it’s pretty apparent where he stands with us. He’s (Tannehill) our quarterback. I don’t know how many more times I gotta say it.”
In 2020, Tannehill signed a four-year extension with the Tennessee Titans. As a result, the Titans will have him through the 2023 season. The reliable quarterback hasn’t missed a game in two years.
In addition, he has led the Titans to their third straight playoff appearance. Nevertheless, the only major concern is that he tends to make major mistakes.
Titans GM is too supportive of Ryan Tannehill
He said, “It was a problem (in 2021). The previous years, it really wasn’t. Not that he didn’t throw any (interceptions), but it wasn’t as many as he threw this past year.”
He added, “Nobody probably feels worse than Ryan. Not to speak for Ryan about the amount of interceptions that went down this year and probably not all of them are on him………… There’s a lot that goes into those plays. But ultimately, the quarterback is the one who bears the blame for it.”
