Several posts directed critical remarks at Will Levis, Tennessee’s second-round pick in the 2023 <a href="https://www.buzzineintl.com/category/football/nfl/”>NFL draft, contrasting him unfavorably with Cam Ward.
“This man hated his life with will levis,” one tweeted.
“All i heard was Will Levis mayonnaise eating a*s sucks,” another added.
“I used to be upset when Calvin was selling my parlays but was never vexed that Will Levis was the QB till the second game I watch and notice Levis is just a*s,” a third commented.
Despite the criticism aimed at Levis, other fans focused on praising Ward and Ridley’s on-field chemistry and potential impact for the Titans this season.
“Calvin a beast. I hope him and Cam turn up crazy Yards,” one wrote.
“I need to take more Calvin,” a fan added.
“He was hype every time he caught a pass from Cam when scrimmaging the whole practice,” a user tweeted.

Cam Ward Confirmed as Titans’ Starting Quarterback for 2025 After Will Levis’ Injury
While many expected Cam Ward to contend for the Titans’ starting quarterback role in 2025, Will Levis’ recent season-ending shoulder injury has effectively secured that position for Ward. Levis is scheduled for shoulder surgery and is projected to miss the entire upcoming season during his recovery period.
With Ward positioned to take over as the Titans’ QB1, veteran backup Brandon Allen is expected to move up as Ward’s primary substitute. This adjustment will shape the Titans’ quarterback depth chart as they prepare for the new season.
The Tennessee Titans will open their 2025 campaign on the road against the Denver Broncos on September 7, a matchup that will offer an early look at how this quarterback transition unfolds on the field.
