From the article

In the bigger picture for the Titans, this trade tells me that Borgonzi has already decided Cam Ward is not the answer at quarterback. The only reason to trade Simmons is if he thinks the Titans aren't going to be able to compete before Simmons starts his decline. The only reason he would feel strongly enough about that to actually make the trade is if he had given up hope that Ward is going to turn into a franchise quarterback.

Negative signalProjection

Simmons trade signals Borgonzi has given up on Ward as franchise QB.

The source interprets the Titans' trade of Jeffery Simmons to the Chicago Bears for two first-rounders as a signal that GM Mike Borgonzi has given up on Cam Ward as a franchise quarterback. The logic: Borgonzi would only trade away his best asset if he believed the Titans cannot compete before Simmons declines, which requires losing faith in Ward's development. The source notes that through Ward's first season and a half in the league, there has been nothing to suggest he can develop into a franchise quarterback, though acknowledges crazier turnarounds have happened.
