Yahoo Sports NFL on Cam Ward
From the article
"This kid's not going to fail," Saleh said. "Obviously, I put my job on that one, but he's not going to fail. He's special." Daboll said, "I have a lot of confidence in this young man. I have confidence in how he played [in college] at Miami and Washington State, and he had a whole year under his belt in the National Football League and getting accustomed to the speed of the game and the timing."
STACKED’s take
Saleh backs Ward as special; Daboll hired to accelerate development in year two.
New Titans head coach Robert Saleh expressed strong conviction in Ward's second-season outlook, stating "This kid's not going to fail" and "he's special," with Saleh putting his job on the line behind the assessment. Saleh brought in offensive coordinator Brian Daboll—who developed Josh Allen in Buffalo—to accelerate Ward's development. Daboll echoed confidence, citing Ward's college pedigree at Miami and Washington State, his rookie year acclimation to NFL speed and timing, and the coaching staff's focus on routine execution: trusting teammates, playing within rhythm, footwork, and accurate throws. Ward's rookie line: 60% completion, 3,169 yards, 15 TDs, 7 INTs, plus 159 rushing yards and 2 TDs.
