Bootleg Football on Cam Ward

Dan Moore Jr. allowed 10% pressure rate on $20M contract; 2026 O-line may be worse.

Offensive line protection issues were significant in year one; Dan Moore Jr. had a 10% pressure rate allowed despite being paid $20 million (roughly 5x what a really good starting left tackle should cost), and Latham was not much better. The source notes the offensive line might overall be worse in 2026, which will make it difficult for Ward to improve accuracy and decision-making even with better play-calling and coaching.
