A positive review for the cam ward truthers

33 comments
  1. This is what I also see when I watch Ward. It’s surprising to me that people are so down on him as a 1OA pick.

    But then again I’m often wrong about QBs.

  2. We’re gonna draft shedeur just to watch ward go to the giants and win OROY throwing to Nabers

  3. next tweet:

    “i just broke down Shadeurs tape, Hes my new #1 overall pick because i think he is stud after consuming 2 hours of highlights of his college plays”

  4. I was very pleased when I went through the footage online after having not watched much college ball this year. He’s got places to improve for sure, but he’s very accurate, very elusive, and has a great arm. I think the issues can be worked out, but we better get someone at OC who can develop a QB. Otherwise no QB could stand a chance

  5. Every one of these pundits should have to post their QB rankings from prior years when talking about “franchise turnaround picks”.

    With QB’s you truly never know until they step on the field.

  6. I have no idea who this guy is, but this is very high praise. It does seem like the winds are shifting towards most people having Ward be the number 1 prospect, and if that’s where the general consensus is going, I think the Titans will end up going there too.

  7. My prediction since like middle of this past season is that whoever gets the 1st overall is going to draft Sanders and it’s not going to go well and then 2nd overall takes Ward and gets the actual good QB

    I didn’t realize we’d be in that 1st overall position

  8. The one thing I’d disagree with him on is the accuracy part. I’ve been watching his games and he’ll misfires to open guys across the middle for would be big gains, sometimes to the outside too, something that will need to be fixed at the next level. Also he pulls Levis like plays every now and then

  9. titans fans are almost worse than our front office. we don’t know anything and hate whatever we do (or might do). maybe i need to get off reddit lol

  10. Other evaluators have concerns about Ward’s mechanics. I guess it all depends on who is looking at the tape & what they see as an issue. Some evaluators look at Ward’s different arm angles and see that as a problem. This guy sees it as an asset.

  11. “Poise in the pocket” tells me everything I need to know and that he didn’t actually break down the tape.

    Time to throw is off the charts for Ward

  12. I don’t watch college football outside of Memphis and the occasional Nebraska game, so I don’t know what I’m talking about. I have seen Shedeur play one game. It was against Nebraska. I’m fully on the *draft Ward* train. Haven’t seen him play a snap, but at this point, I don’t have much choice but to dismiss anything positive about Sanders and anything negative about Ward and to let posts like this be the ones that stick in my mind.

    And in a few months, it won’t matter. Whatever happens, I’ll delude myself into thinking it was a good call and will work out and that next season will be a big improvement and that the team will back on the right track. Right up until sometime in the first half of Week 1, when realization of how fucked we are starts to creep back in.

    Love the offseason though!

  13. Pretty defensible rankings. Caleb has been disappointing, but the reasons he was so high remain reasonable. JJ we will have to see, but even Nix over Maye isn’t crazy atm

  14. As a massive Canes fan he’s dead wrong on awareness unless he means just pocket awareness. Every single game you can watch him ignore short routes with open guys and take a sack or throw a pick trying to throw a hr ball. He is literally Winston with better feet (or Levis if Levis had more than a quarter of a brain) . Mark my words, he will struggle HARD his rookie year if he starts. He has a lot of upside though if you can get him to read a defense pre snap and understand he needs to look for underneath stuff. But the guy straight up ignores those routes and cost Miami the game against GT and made other games much closer than they should have been.

    My comp for him is Winston but upside is Favre but better. He could legitimately be an all timer if he learns to read a D better and can understand taking what they give you. He truly has one of the best arms I’ve ever seen.

  15. I’ll be honest he reminds me of Levis and I can’t get that out of my head. Whether I’m right or wrong.

    Give me a glut of picks instead please. Roster needs major upgrading.

  16. Feel like we get a better idea in FA to see if it looks likely we go for a QB first. If we can get something better than a traffic cone for RT, at least 1 more GOOD WR in either the draft or FA then we should hopefully see some level of improvement offensively anyway

  17. I liked Ward’s highlights more than Sanders but I think Sanders is the more polished QB, esp since he was playing in a pro-scheme in college under Pat Shurmur, while also having one of the greatest players being his dad and having greatness in his DNA. I don’t think I’d be against drafting either one imo. 

  18. Neither are worth number 1 overall when we will have cap and trade capital . Ward would be my pick but I think you wait till next year for qb ! Trade out gain picks cause we need help at alot of places !

  19. How is he as far as rushing goes? His stats don’t pop off by any means but are we talking like Lamar rushing ability or Mayfield 20 yards a game rushing ability?

  20. I’m beating the drum. The guy has played a shitload of ball and has progressed every year. He hits tight windows, throws on time, and his pocket presence is fantastic.

    For what it’s worth and that might not be much, but my favorite stat is that he has averaged a double digit positive turnover-worthy play to INT differential, meaning he has way more turnover worthy plays than actual turnovers. He has brass balls and he rarely pays for it. Other players with similar college stats, Mahomes, Jackson, and Burrow.

    Only 3 players in the last 10-years have had a negative differential. That includes Will Levis in 2021 and Shadeur Sanders in 2024.

  21. Did he watch the tape of Cam at WSU last year, where he made equally boneheaded decisions as Levis did at the beginning of this year? I’ve watched Cam for his entire college career, and I see some habits that are going to take a LOT of work to fix.

  22. As a rare Tennessee Titans AND Miami Hurricanes fan, I’ve watched most of the cane’s games this year, and one of the things that stood out for sure is his poise. He never seemed rattled under pressure, like Eli Manning style, he’ll just be calm until the last millisecond before taking a hit and getting the throw off, and if a play broke down and ended badly, whether it be a big sack or a turnover, he just always seemed like it never really affected him on his next play. That quality alone is hard to find in a young qb, but his accuracy is also legit. Personally, I want us to draft him, and I like to think it’s not just because of my Miami bias

  23. But can he do it with NPF at right tackle? I think we know the answer to that.

  24. I swear every time I watch his highlights, I sit here and ask how he isn’t considered the top pick. But then half the analysts say he barely has a 2nd round grade. So I don’t know what to believe, he just looks so damn good.
