Overview
- Mike McCoy said he challenges Cam Ward weekly to top his previous performance and noted steady improvements in specific areas.
- The Titans sit at 3-13 through Week 17, with Ward showing progress while the rebuilding roster continues to struggle.
- Rival evaluators, via The Athletic, question whether Ward’s nontraditional mechanics cap his accuracy and whether his off-schedule play will translate on schedule.
- One NFL executive cited Tennessee’s poor pass protection and said Ward has often been forced to escape pressure, complicating fair evaluation.
- Through 16 games, Ward completed 59.6% of his passes for 3,117 yards with 15 touchdowns and seven interceptions, and league chatter points to hiring a coach whose scheme suits his strengths.
