Though it took him a few seasons to seize control of the starting QB job, McNair was a stalwart, amassing 140 career starts between 1995 and 2005. He reached the Pro Bowl three times, won the MVP in 2003 and led the Titans to the Super Bowl. Yes, but: Tennessee has simply not gotten the position right since McNair's departure.

Why it matters: The Titans have the opportunity to end their moribund quarterback history when they pick first in the NFL Draft on April 24 in Green Bay. All signs suggest that new Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi will select quarterback Cam Ward from the University of Miami as the franchise's new cornerstone.
