STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Ward's preseason debut raises concerns about his processing and pocket presence.

The source expresses significant concern regarding Cam Ward's preseason performance, citing his tendency to hold the ball too long, poor pocket awareness, and struggles with reading coverage. While acknowledging that poor offensive line play and drops by teammates contributed to his struggles, the source notes Ward is learning a new system and needs to improve his touch rather than relying on fastballs.
