Music City Miracles on Cam Ward
From the article
Sophomore quarterback Cam Ward is actually wasting a pretty good offensive line... Ward has bailed some clean pockets. Inaccurate misses have been a weekly occurrence... Ward left 14 points on the board through two glaring red-zone errors in Week 3.
STACKED’s take
Ward wasting elite pass protection; accuracy and red-zone issues are limiting offensive upside.
The source identifies Cam Ward as wasting a strong offensive line (ranked No. 3 in the NFL by Pro Football Focus with a 71.9 grade) through poor decision-making and accuracy. Through three weeks, Ward has been sacked just five times with only 16 pressures allowed collectively by the Titans' starting five, yet he has bailed clean pockets, made inaccurate misses weekly, and left 14 points on the board in Week 3 alone through two red-zone errors. The source notes that while his rookie season struggles were blamed on supporting cast limitations, the offensive line has been upgraded and the wide receiver corps improved with Wan'Dale Robinson and Carnell Tate, making Ward the biggest preventative factor from the offense showing improvement. His issues—bad footwork and inaccurate passes—date back to his rookie season, suggesting a pattern rather than scheme adjustment.
