Dan Orlovsky Praises Cam Ward’s Debut, Sees Burrow-Like Throws in Titans Loss

The ESPN analyst said the Tennessee rookie flashed elite arm talent despite a rough box score.

Overview

  • Ward completed 12 of 28 passes for 112 yards in a 20-12 defeat at Denver in his NFL debut.
  • Orlovsky told The Pat McAfee Show he was blown away by Ward’s tape and called his throwing talent off the charts.
  • He compared several throws to Joe Burrow’s work, citing needle-threading passes under pressure against a top Broncos defense.
  • Orlovsky said Tennessee might have won without a rash of drops he counted at roughly eight, though he noted Ward must avoid costly sacks and vary his pace.
  • Attention turns to Ward’s home debut as the Titans face the Los Angeles Rams this weekend.
