Should Titans go with Logan Woodside as backup QB in 2020?

March 19, 2020 by Titans Wire Leave a Comment

The Tennessee Titans have found their franchise quarterback in Ryan Tannehill.

The team made their trust in the former Miami Dolphin — who was previously plagued by injury and inconsistency — abundantly clear, inking him to a four-year, $118 million extension.

But what about the guy behind him?

That’s pretty important, too, as recent history has shown us with the Titans, who suffered so much in the past from Marcus Mariota being prone to injury.

The only other quarterback currently on the roster is Logan Woodside, who played college football at Toledo, was drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft, and is on his second stint with the Titans.

Woodside has been a solid scout team quarterback, but can the Titans trust him to be their guy if Tannehill goes down?

He’s already putting in the work this offseason, but there’s nothing about Woodside that really sells you on his ability to lead the offense in a way coaches can be comfortable with if he’s forced to take the reins.

“After watching Woodside for an entire Training Camp and preseason, it’s clear to me that he’s not the sort of guy you want to have to win a game if your starting quarterback goes down,” A to Z Sports Nashville’s Luke Worsham wrote.

Woodside doesn’t wow anyone with his arm strength, and he’s a bit undersized at 6-foot-1 and 213 pounds.

Keeping Woodside on the practice squad is a good decision for the Titans, but they’d be wise to make finding a legitimate backup quarterback between free agency and the 2020 NFL Draft a priority.
