Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill touched on losing his favorite receiver, A.J. Brown, for the first time since the trade.

The veteran also believes Burks will be a good fit for the Titans’ offense. Not being able to see him on a daily basis is going to be different, it’s going to be hard. A.J. is a good friend, have a lot of great times, great memories on and off the field with him.

Kurt Warner did not agree with Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill's comments about not mentoring rookie Malik Willis.

He said it would be great if Willis learns from him along the the way, but he has no plans to become a mentor. He then lost his job to Marc Bulger, who also became a Pro Bowler. Former St. Louis Rams star Kurt Warner said he will never understand that mentality and offered to help any young quarterback that needs it.

Tannehill threw a career-high 14 interceptions, fewer touchdowns than he did in his 12-game debut season in Tennessee and his yards gained per attempt plummeted for the second-straight hit season. Tannehill desperately wants to avoid the inescapable NFL clipboard-holding senior home for as long as possible. In 2021, Tannehill managed the game well enough for Tennessee to stumble into the AFC’s No. 1 seed without Derrick Henry in the backfield for nine games. Per Spotrac, a pre-June 1 trade of Tannehill would leave the Titans with $28.4 million in dead cap. Two years later, the Titans appear ready for the “next guy up.” Tannehill is essentially a handsomely paid independent contractor in 2022 while hoping he is brought back for 2023 as well. If it takes a village to raise a quarterback, 33-year-old Ryan Tannehill wants no part of that endeavor.

The former Texas A&M product has a 2-3 record in the postseason with Tennessee, though. It's his job to lose not just hand it over.#Titansfront office didn't really think this through.. Be the starting QB for the Titans. If he chooses to mentor Malik Willis along the way that’s good on him; but by no means an obligation. — ChiefsAholic ™️ (@ChiefsAholic)May 3, 2022 Patrick himself praises Alex for showing him the ropes during his rookie season. It wasn’t Alex Smith’s “Job” to mentor Patrick Mahomes in 2017. Now, after that playoff performance, he has to play well or those fans will turn on him quick. He didn't have to play that card. — ChiefsAholic ™️ (@ChiefsAholic)May 3, 2022 It’s not, but man it makes you a good teammate. But, Malik’s also your teammate now. I cannot pretend to have the mindset of an elite athlete as I, quite clearly, am not one.

It's been a tough offseason for Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill – and it goes beyond the team drafting Malik Willis.

I was in a dark place, and it took me a while, a lot of work to get out of it. This is the first time that I absolutely needed it [therapy] to pull me out of a dark space.” I didn’t get a whole lot of sleep for weeks.

In case you have been hiding under a rock for the last few hours, Ryan Tannehill said yesterday that it isn't his job to mentor Malik Willis.

It is not his job to mentor Willis. His job is to go out and be the best quarterback he can be for the 2022 Tennessee Titans. I am looking forward to seeing how that plays out. Now, do we want Tannehill to ice Willis out?

Ryan Tannehill shouldn't have made the mentor comment about Malik Willis, but that's not what we should be focusing on from his press conference.

There are indications of a stable operation that’s beginning to unravel in the wake of a bitter playoff loss that is threatening to become a turning point for the franchise if it can’t move on from it. For the first time in years, the vibe with the Titans has started to sour. Trading A.J. Brown was something Jon Robinson never wanted to do in the first place. Absolutely. Tannehill added in the same answer that it’s “a great thing” if Willis learns from him. Otherwise, it could turn into a larger problem that the Titans do not need right now. I don’t believe Tannehill meant it like it was portrayed. … I was in a dark place, and it took me a while and a lot of work to get out of it. Sounds instead like Tannehill was in a bad way. “I don’t think it’s my job to mentor him” sounds salty and defensive. That wasn’t something I’d have thought before Tuesday’s news conference in Nashville. Over the course of about 17 minutes, Tannehill was exceptionally forthright with Titans reporters, who grilled him on a number of tricky topics. “It was a lot of sleepless nights. Imagine being the quarterback blaming himself for a loss so painful that your general manager teared up when talking about it weeks later.

Kurt Warner has come out to slam comments made on the topic by Ryan Tannehill after the Titans selected quarterback Malik Willis.

After handling the situation with aplomb, Warner landed in Arizona, where he eventually thrived. If Tannehill can lead the Titans to postseason victories, he can maintain a stranglehold on the job. I give Tom so much credit, he looked me in the eye and told me this is why, it’s not fair to you, you got to deal with it.’’

The Titans' veteran QB simply uttered the truth about mentoring Willis.

And Tepper has offered very little in the way of explanation. It's the first time in the franchise's history that it's had four consecutive losing seasons. This comes after Tom Glick, who had been with the team since 2018 and president of business operations, "stepp[ed] aside to pursue other opportunities." But the Eagles front office is experiencing a brain drain that could ultimately hurt the team sooner or later. Tepper will now be in search of his second CEO just less than four months after creating the position. By virtue of his draft weekend fall, it's obvious the league views him as a developmental quarterback that needs time to grow into a full-time starter. "That's part of being in a quarterback room, in the same room. I first saw the reaction to Tannehill's comments, and then I went back and watched the press conference. As a journalist hoping to get the truth out of interview subjects, I'll never complain about that. He wants to win games and get over the hump. Tannehill is a capable, 33-year-old starter in the league who's quarterbacked this Titans franchise to three consecutive postseasons. If not, the Titans can easily move on before 2023 free agency and before the final year of non-guaranteed money kicks in.

"It took me a while and a lot of work to get out of it. You're able to heal from it and it turns into a scar. Fuel for me to work and get ready with a passion. Didn't get a whole lot of sleep for weeks and weeks after the game. "There were a lot of sleepless nights. "It was tough.

Hall of Famer Kurt Warner didn't seem to take to Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill's comments about mentorship on Tuesday after the team selected rookie ...

Warner’s comments come in the wake of a press conference given by Tannehill in which he said he doesn’t think it’s his job to mentor Willis, who could be competing for the Titans’ starting job in the coming years. Despite being unaware of the franchise’s intentions, the veteran quarterback shared that he called the team’s new rookie immediately after the selection was announced. so for all you young QBs that need a mentor, DM me and I’ll be that guy, happy to help in any way I can!” Warner wrote.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill didn't exactly impress many people with his comments on Tuesday regarding Malik Willis.

“I don’t think it’s my job to mentor him, but if he learns from me along the way, then that’s a great thing.” But sometimes, being painfully honest isn’t the best approach to take. “That’s part of being in a quarterback room, in the same room.

Ryan Tannehill said "I don't it's my job to mentor" Titans rookie QB Malik Willis and the NFL world seems conflicted.

Former Steelers Pro-Bowl cornerback and Super Bowl champion Ryan Clark said it's "better for the team" if Tannehill makes an effort to mentor Willis. Along with a slew of different reactions across the internet, multiple decorated former NFL players jumped in on the debate. "I don't think it's my job to mentor him, but if he learns from me along the way then that's a great thing."

On the surface, Ryan Tannehill has it pretty good. He makes an average of nearly $30 million per year playing quarterback for the Titans.

Tannehill had three damaging interceptions in that loss to the Bengals in the AFC divisional playoff round, and all of them still haunt him. Tannehill said he has sought therapy the past, but “this is the first time that I absolutely needed it to pull me out of a dark space.” “It took me a while, a lot of work to get out of it. It took a lot of work to get through it.” Professional athletes conceding to weakness is not a very common event. Yet there was Tannehill on Tuesday opening a vein while speaking to reporters during an offseason media availability, revealing that he’s still reeling from the Titans’ 19-16 playoff loss to the Bengals and his poor play in that game, and that he sought therapy in an effort to deal with it.
