STOP CALLING CAM WARD A BUST | Rookies Shine on Offense | Small Glimmers of Hope on Defense
Cam Ward is not playing his best football, but calling him a bust after seven games is one of the dumbest things that I’ve ever seen. And I’ll break it down on today’s edition of Locked on Titans. You are Locked On Titans, your daily Tennessee Titans podcast, part of the Locked On Network, your team every day. Welcome to the Locked on Titans podcast. I am your host, Tyler Roland, Titans fans.

But I want to start with this conversation about Cam Ward because some people are throwing around the term bust after seven games and I think it’s absolutely ridiculous. I’ll explain why. But before we get into it, do want to thank you for making Locked on Titans your first listen each and every day. Remember, Monday through Friday, Tennessee Titans content all year round, always for free. Make sure that you get subscribed, stay subscribed. It’s your team every day. Speaking of everyday, shout out to my everydayers out there tuning in Monday through Friday. Couldn’t do it without you guys. And if you aren’t an everydayer, you need to be one. Now, I took a look at the film. I’ve already watched Cam Ward’s performance. I’ve already seen the online conversation. And again, I think it’s absolutely absurd that people are willing to call Cam Ward a bust after just seven games. Now, I will be the first person to admit just like I admitted yesterday after the game itself, Cam Ward is not playing well right now. And there are things that Cam Ward needs to do better. And I’ll tell you exactly what those are. But to look at the entire situation as a whole and declare that Cam Ward is a bust based on these seven games, it’s absolutely ludicrous. Again, I think it’s it’s moronic at this point in time to make a a long-term declaration on what Cam Ward is going to be, good or bad, based off of seven games. Now, if you guys want to take a look at the tape and see what I saw in week seven, I have my Cam Ward film breakdown out right now on the Tic Tac Titans YouTube channel. Go over there and check that out. I went over the good, the bad, and the ugly. But from an overall perspective, again, seven games. Now, the reality is there are some bad faith actors out there. There are people who always hated Cam Ward, called him a bust before he was ever drafted, like other players that they said were going to be better than him, and even players who haven’t even got a chance to play because they haven’t earned it. They’re better than him. There are just people out there who aren’t having these discussions in good faith that are going to rush fans of other teams and all of that. You know what I mean? But I’ve even seen it from Titans fans. I’ve seen Titans media people try to go after Cam Ward and things like that and it just I don’t understand. Number one, it’s been seven games. It’s been seven games of his NFL career. How could you possibly know who Cam Ward is going to be in year three, year four as a quarterback off seven games? It just doesn’t work like that. Like that in itself, just the timeline of trying to write the book and close the book on who Cam Ward is going to be as a player after seven games is already dumb enough. But consider the environment that he is in with Calvin Ridley injured. This is by far the worst wide receiver group in the NFL. Period. Like people want to talk about the Giants. They have Wondelle Robinson. They’ve had Darius Sllayton. Those are better players than any wide receiver on the Tennessee Titans when Calvin Ridley is hurt. So get out of here with that. Like that’s insane to me. The offensive line isn’t playing well. And the Titans are the only team this year that has fired their head coach. and he deserved it. So, you have the worst coaching in the NFL. And look, Brian Callahan may be gone, but that doesn’t mean that the coaching staff is all of a sudden good, the worst coaching in the NFL, the worst wide receiver group in the NFL, a bottom three run game in the NFL, and an offensive line that has been an absolute disaster in pass protection. They’ve been a, if you want to talk about a bust, the offensive line was supposed to be mightily improved. They have been a bust. So, terrible wide receivers, maybe the worst, worst coaching, one of the worst run games, one of the worst offensive lines, and through seven games, you’re going to call Cam Ward a bust. It’s just absurd. It’s absolutely absurd. And not only that, but how many examples do we need to see in the NFL today to show that we must have some patience with these young quarterbacks? Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Daniel Jones this year, M. Jones this year for that matter. I would even say I know Gino Smith is at the tail end of his career now and he’s been awful, but Gino Smith got his career back on track. How many examples do we need to see of young talented quarterback, impatient fan base, bad organization, makes young quarterback look worse than they really are all this young talented quarterback is actually a good quarterback. He just needed a little patience and a better environment. Like it’s just crazy to me that we see all these examples, the circumstances that Cam Ward is in in the environment that he’s in and it only being seven games and all of those and there are still people Cam’s a bust. It’s insanity to me. Now, let me say this. Let me be clear about this. I can’t sit up here and tell you that Cam Ward won’t be a bust. I can’t know that for certain. You can’t know that for certain. But the whole point is it is far too early and there are far too many insane variables to have that kind of bold long-term proclamation on Cam Ward right now. It’s impossible. You don’t know good or bad what Cam Ward’s going to be in year three and year four. You just simply don’t know. And seven games certainly isn’t enough time to make that call. Now, let me say this to use Cam Wards or Cam Ward’s words. Say that five times fast. Let’s keep it a buck, which is something that honestly I’ve been saying since far before Cam Ward said it. It’s been a thing for a long time. Surprised by the people who are like, “Oh, this is new.” No, it’s not. But Cam Ward’s not playing well. the things that Cam Ward is in control of. When it’s not his offensive line messing up, when it’s not his wide receivers messing up, when it’s not the coaching being bad, when it’s just Cam Ward needs to do the job. He is not batting a thousand. So Cam Ward needs to play better. This is not excusing bad play from Cam Ward because again I just went through all of the tape and check out my film breakdown on the good, the bad, and the ugly from Cam Ward in week seven. But dropping the ball out of your hands when there’s nobody touching you, that’s just on Cam Ward. Some of these inaccurate throws that are getting tipped and turning into interceptions. I’m sorry, the throw to Cha Conquo was terrible. That is not on Chiga Conquo. That is solely 100% on Cam Ward. It was a terrible throw way behind him and it turned into a pick. Those are things that are Cam Ward’s fault. So, I’m not here to say, “Hey, you can’t blame Cam Ward at all.” You can blame Cam Ward for the things that Cam Ward deserves blame for. But with that, you can also be honest and say that Cam Ward is in a terrible situation and seven games of a terrible situation is nowhere near enough time to make a declaration that he is a bust. It’s absurd. It’s ridiculous. And with all of the other NFL evidence that we’ve seen in recent history, how could you not have a bit of patience with a young talented quarterback? So to me, the conversation is off the rails. It’s a lot of misplaced anger because the team is so bad and people just want to see blood. But we need to calm the heck down on the proclamations about Cam Ward even while being honest and say he’s not playing good football. So if you can’t say both of those things at the same time, Cam Ward’s not playing well, but it’s far too soon to close the book on who he’s going to be as an NFL player. If you can’t admit that both of those are true at the same time, then I don’t really have anything to say to you. And it’s just that simple for me. But with that being said, I think there were some things in that game that we should be excited about. And there are some building blocks here that Titans fans should be optimistic about going forward. We’ll start on the offensive side of the ball where some of these rookies continue to show out.

Like I told you guys yesterday, same old same old Titans. The problems that they had were the same old problems that they’ve had all year. And it goes back to me saying Brian Callahan needed to be fired, but I wouldn’t expect a big-time change coming off of Brian Callahan’s firing either. Now, we talked about why you can’t ca can’t call Cam Ward a bust right now. Doesn’t mean that he won’t be, but you can’t say that after seven games. But I’m tired of the negativity. It’s time to do some positive content because I think looking at that game, there are a lot of positives that you could take on both offense and defense. Now, most of it comes in the form of young players, and we got to talk about the rookies. Gunner Helm, Chim DK looking great on the offensive side of the ball. I’m going to throw Peter Scaransky in there as well. Although he’s not a rookie, he’s still a young player. That’s a building block for the Tennessee Titans going forward. But I was so impressed by Chim DK in that game. We know we know that Chim DK is a good returner. like that’s already obvious. This guy is maybe the Pro Bowl returner for the AFC this year. There’s a good chance that Jim DK will win that a award. He’ll at least be high in the running or at least he should be. But not only was he good in special teams yesterday as we saw three returns on kickoffs, 84 yards in including a 31 yer. Had one punt return, 15 yards. That’s a pretty good punt return right there. Not only did he have those, but he finally started to emerge as a wide receiver on offense. And I thought finally the Tennessee Titans allowed Chim DK to actually play wide receiver. So far he’s been used in gadget ways. Motion into the back field, quick screen here, uh, reverse here, stuff like that. And I like the idea of using Chim DK on those things. I don’t think that the Titans should stop using Chim DK on those gadget plays. I think with his speed, 4-3 speed, he absolutely is a guy who you should get involved in those type of things. That should continue. But they also need to let him actually play wide receiver. And with Tyler Lockett struggling and being essentially useless for the Titans throughout these first seven weeks, it only makes sense that you would give a guy like Jim DK more opportunities. And DK, who we were told before the season, is probably going to focus on playing in the slot. Well, Tyler Lockett probably going to focus on playing in the slot. It would be a good opportunity for DK to continue to eat into the reps for Tyler Lockett. And based on the snap count that we saw yesterday, Chim DK around 30 snaps and Tyler Lockett only around 14, like it sounds like Mike McCoy and the Titans offensive staff is slowly going to start to do that. But DK paid it off. He had four catches for 70 yards, had the touchdown as well. And the thing is, I love the route running that we saw from Chim DK. DK got a a curl route, a 10-yard curl route, totally normal hit obviously on the deep crossing route over the middle of the field. That’s the type of route that he had so much success with at Florida. So, I think using Jim DK on those speed crossers across the middle of the field are going to open up things. And we know that’s an area of the field that Cam Ward likes to go to. So hitting DK across the middle of the field, that could be something that Cam Ward finds comfort in for the next four to five years, you know what I mean? I think that could be important. But then again, we see the speed on display with the corner post route that he scored the touchdown on. That was coming to the middle of the defense, fake the corner route to the outside, and then break the post back over the middle of the field. And I’m going to do a little bit of a film breakdown later this week on Chim DK, on Gunner Helm, and some of these young guys that we’re talking about here. But I like the route variety. Finally letting Chim DK do some actual real wide receiver stuff. We know that he can be a weapon on special teams. We know that he can be a weapon as a gadget player in the offense, but having him grow into an actual traditional wide receiver as well, that’ll be critical for the Titans moving forward. And that’s something that you could be very excited about. We finally got a little bit of a breakout performance from Chim DK there. But I also got to continue to shout out Gunner Helm. Nightmare on Helm Street, man. Four catches, 36 yards, and his snap count the last two weeks has started to get closer to outnapping a guy like Chiga Conquo. Chiga Conquo was the lowest graded Tennessee Titan in the entire game according to Pro Football Focus. He was awful. Well, on offense, I should say, because Legarerius Sneed continues to be in the gutter every single week on the on the grading scale of Pro Football Focus. And look, PFF grades aren’t everything. But when you watch the tape and what you see on tape is confirmed in the grades, to me, it shows like, you know, they’re not insane over there. Also, like there’s something to be gleaned here from this. But Gunner Helm, I’ve said it since the day he was drafted. He should be tight end one for this team because he’s just as good as a receiver as Ch. The only thing The only thing that Chica Conquo does better than Gunnar Helm is yards after catch opportunities. That’s it. Chick is not a good route runner. He never has been. Helm is better. Helm is a much better catcher of the football. He is a much bigger target with a bigger catch radius for Cam Ward who, as I’ve been trying to tell you guys for months now, he’s a gunslinger. He’s not going to be pinpoint accurate. He’s not Joe Burrow. He’s not Tom Brady. He’s not going to be that pinpoint accurate ball placement guy. He’s not, even when he plays better, he’s not going to be that. He’s going to be a little inaccurate, a little wonky. You’re going to need guys who are big and tall with wide catch radiuses and good body control and adjustment ability to adjust to some of these inaccurate passes that Cam’s going to throw. And Gunner Helm does exactly that. We saw a catch on the sideline by Gunner Helm where Cam Ward gets out of pressure, scrambles to the right, fires a missile, and Gunner Helm is able to toe tap on the sideline and catch the ball. Not only that, but Gunnar Helm was excellent as a blocker on the touchdown pass to Chim DK. Gunnar Helm wins oneon-one with a defensive end to give Cam Ward the time to make that throw. Is Chiga Conquo making that block? No. So, we saw Gunnar Helm get 24 snaps. Chika Conquo just a little bit over 30 last week. We saw that happen as well where Gunner Helm is getting closer where he’s within, you know, 10 snaps of Cha Congo whereas early in the year, Chig is getting 40, 45, 48 snaps while Gunnar Helm’s getting 20, 22, 24. And that’s way too big of a gap. Gunner Helm is maybe the most reliable target that Cam Ward has right now. week to week the guy who’s going to catch the ball, gonna make plays whether he’s open or not. Gunner Helm is the most reliable guy that Cam Ward has. So, you have to play him more. And him playing well has me very excited for the future of you got DK. I Manor can be a solid role playing wide receiver. You have Gunner Helm. The Titans get an alpha wide receiver one in there and a little bit more depth and let Xavier Restreo play. They elevate Mason Kinsey. What are we doing? We know. Look, good for Mason Kinsey. He’s had a good career. I don’t dislike Mason Kinsey, but we know who Mason Kinsey is. He’s not going to help you on special teams. And if he’s not returning, why is he elevated? Give Xavier Restrepo a chance. But regardless, Gunner Helm, Chim DK, and Peter Scaransky. Scransky gave up zero sacks, only one pressure, the highest graded pass blocking offensive lineman for the Titans in the game. Once again, one of the best interior offensive lineman in the NFL this year. The Titans have Helm, they have DK, they have Skranssky, and right now, quite honestly, those are the only three guys that I’m certain about are going to be a real help to Cam Ward going forward because IO has to catch the ball and get open on his routes. JC Laam just doesn’t look right. Is he going to have to move into guard? It’s fair to ask those questions. and Taj Spears is just not reliable enough. I don’t think he’s going to be here long term either. So, those are the areas of positivity for the Titans on the offensive side of the ball. And quite frankly, we go to the defensive side of the ball. I only see three young guys who give me some excitement.

We talked about why it’s ridiculous to call Cam Moore a bust through seven games. We talked about the stuff on offense that I’m excited about the young guys going forward. Now I want to do that on the defensive side of the ball and it’s tougher on the defense because there are people who are supposed to be answers that are clearly not answers for the Tennessee Titans. But there are some young guys that are really impressive. Before I dive into it, do want to thank you again for making Locked on Titans your first listen each and every day. Make sure you get subscribed, stay subscribed, and stay locked in with the Locked on Titans podcast. Make sure you check out my Cam Ward film breakdown over on the Tic Tac Titans YouTube channel with the good, the bad, and the ugly from Sunday’s loss to the Patriots. But we need more of Kevin Winston. It’s that simple. There needs to be more. Kevin Winston played two snaps on the defensive side of the ball in this game. Two snaps. And he had a blitz, had a quarterback hit on special teams. He had another tackle. Like Kevin Winston is showing. He is ready to get reps on the defensive side of the ball. And here’s the other thing to think about. The Titans safeties are all garbage. They have been terrible this year. Xavier Woods. Cuandre Diggs is old and slow. Ammani Hooker has fallen off a cliff. Just fallen off a cliff. Ammani Hooker is a bottom five starting safety in the NFL. Poof. all of a sudden overnight completely fallen off a cliff this year. Cut off his hair, made him a captain for the first time. He’s fallen off a cliff. They give him the extension and he’s just he’s been bad in run defense for a couple of seasons now, but he at least was pretty good in pass coverage. He has been demolished in pass coverage this year. Slow, behind on his reads. not making plays on the football. He has been useless this year. Terrible. Terrible. I mean, there have been times where they take Hooker off the field and they play Digs and Woods because Hooker’s just been so bad. It’s not often, but it’s happened. And that Ammani Hooker used to be a 100% snap guy, but his play has fallen off so hard. All three of those safeties have been bad. So, why not play Kevin Winston more on defense? What are we waiting for? The team is one and six. You’re not doing anything this year. It is over. Like, nothing is going to happen for you this year. Play the young guys. There’s no reason that Kevin Winston shouldn’t get more opportunities to play on defense. And the one, you know, he played two plays on defense, but the one play where he really stood out, he blitzed off the edge and hit Drake Bane, caused an incompletion. Can we get more of that? At minimum, can we get more of that? Like, let him blitz. What I want to see is Cody Barton is out there, and to use my guy Will Lis’s term, looking like he’s got glass in his cleats. Cody Barton has been awful. Just awful in every sense of the word. Why not let Kevin Winston play some passing down linebacker? Let him play man coverage on running backs. Last game, last or yesterday, there was a play where Cody Barton was a quarterback spy on Drake May and Drake May ran right past him for a 20 yard scramble. Let Kevin Winston do that. Why can’t Kevin Winston just say, “Kevin, you’re QB spying on the quarterback.” Why not? With the way that the Colts get the ball to Jonathan Taylor out of the back field, with the way they get the ball to uh Tyler Warren, why not let Kevin Winston play man coverage on them? He doesn’t have to think too much, which you know, zone coverage, rules and responsibilities, depth, how you adjust to route coverages in the middle of the play, that stuff may be mentally hard for a rookie that missed a ton of time early in the process. You’re right. But Kevin, you have man coverage on that guy. That’s not hard. That is simple. Anybody, the Titans could pull a guy off the street and say, “You have man coverage on him. Guard him.” Like there’s no reason that Kevin Winston can’t get more opportunities on defense, especially in lie of how bad Cody Barton has been. So if you don’t want to take one of your safeties off the field, then take Cody Barton off the field and let Kevin Winston play. Now that doesn’t work on early downs and you know Cody Barton is the green dot, so he’s calling the plays. I get the drawbacks, but at some point if it’s third and 12, it’s third and eight, god forbid it’s third and 20, third and 18, why not just take Cody Barton off the field and let Kevin Winston do that? Just go up to him and tell him, Kevin, on this play, you’re going to have man coverage on the running back. Kevin, on this play, you’re going to quarterback spot. It’s not hard. It doesn’t have to be complicated. All right. Now, moving forward, Cedric Gray continues to be incredibly impressive. Gray for how bad Cody Barton has been. Gray has been phenomenal. 10 total tackles. Had another tackle for loss. Wasn’t a problem in pass coverage. Like Cedric Gray has been great. And you do wonder with the Cody Barton situation, when are they going to give James Williams an opportunity? I know that James Williams has not maybe necessarily earned the opportunity, but Cody Barton has lost the opportunities that he’s being given with I I cannot stress how bad Cody Barton has been this year. Why not give James Williams a couple of give him a series, especially later in these games when you’re getting blown out. They’re going to get blown out by the Colts again. They’re going to get blown out by the Chargers. They’re going to get blown out by the Seahawks. They’re going to get blown out by the Texans again. When it’s late in these games and you’re down by 20, which you’re going to be in probably at least a couple of those games I just mentioned, why not give James Williams a chance next to Cedric Gray and see what those guys can do? And then finally, Tavandre Sweat. Sweat was the highest graded player on the Titans defense according to Pro Football Focus. Finally got a sack, had a tackle for loss on the day as well. It wasn’t great early, but he played 37 snaps, which is quite a bit for coming back after missing four weeks. You got to give Sweat credit. The Titans run defense was terrible. He wasn’t very good in run defense. He wasn’t bad though. He was good in run defense. He just wasn’t great. But he made some plays in pass defense getting pressure on the quarterback. If you want something to be happy about, Kevin Winston, Cedric Gray, and Tavandre Sweat because outside of that would Jeffrey Simmons hurt, Femiola Dejo hurt, Barton is terrible, we’ll probably never see Sneed in the Titans uniform ever again now that his quad is hurt again. All the veteran safeties have been a disaster. Jaylen Armar Davis is terrible. Roger McCreary’s good, but he’s going to be a free agent. Are the Titans going to resign him? I don’t know. Draymond Jones on the edge. Jiad Ward got some pressure on the quarterback, but he is a disaster in run defense. But they knew that coming in. So, not much else to be excited about. But hey, Gunner Helm, Chim DK, Peter Skaronsky, Kevin Winston, Cedric Gray, Tandre Sweat, fair enough to be excited about those guys. So, let that carry you. Now, on tomorrow’s show, we got to talk about trades, cuz this could be a big trade week for the Titans. And quite frankly, by the time you hear this, the Titans could have already made a trade, and I’ll make sure to react to all of it. But it’s going to be a big week in that regard in my opinion. With that being said, make sure that you tune back in for tomorrow’s show as I break down everyone who could be traded and what I would hope to get in return. But, uh, that’s going to do it for me today, folks. As always, I am your host, Tyler Roland, and this was Locked on Titans. [Music]
STOP CALLING CAM WARD A BUST!! Tennessee Titans fans and media alike are jumping off the deep end and trying to call Cam Ward’s career through seven games and whether it be the supporting cast or recent NFL history, we should know it is far too early to make those claims even if Ward is not playing well. However, some other rookies on offense are playing well in Chim Dike and Gunnar Helm and they should get more opportunities as the season goes on. On defense, there are less glimmers of hope, but we still have Cedric Gray, T’Vondre Sweat and now, Kevin Winston, to get excited about.

Maybe not a "bust" but definitely enjoys turning the ball over … A lot.
Cam Ward is @$$
I watched most of the game, he needs to work on his technique and footwork. Titans need to inquire about Hyatt, I think he’s buried on the bench
Would love to hear a segment on JC Latham. He’s been tough to watch
Cam Ward is not a bust yet, however we need to admit that in most drafts he's probably not the best quarterback.
Yeah, Barton has been terrible, Hooker doesn’t belong on the field.
Ward is no more a bust than will levis so stop it, ward sucks
Helm is a weapon!!!
He has hands!!
He needs to be more involved!
He needs like 10 targets per game… Imo
Titan Up ⚔️
FIRE CHAD BRINKER! Dude has single handedly TANKED this org. Ever since he has been in power it has been a disaster. Give full control to Borganzi like an actual NFL team
He suxxxxx
Yeah, he’s a rookie and he looked good in the first half but not so much in the second half of the Pats game. But he’s definitely a rookie.
THANK YOU‼️
Cam & the offense was ballin in the first half. Until that B's not being aggressive before the half. it was the momentum swing.😮😅 the crowd even booed
Cam will be fine…what sucks is after all the money and draft picks and coaches the offensive line still has too many problems…I mean the titans put alot effort into fixing it and it still doesn't seem close to working
I ain’t gne say he a bust bt he is looking like will levis 2.0
Brian got fired but the people he hired are still there so nothing change
Xavier Restrepo should be elevated to the active roster, they need to add a receiver that knows what it means to be in a cam ward offense to fully take advantage of his skill set in a lackluster offense
Can Ward is a Bust. I know a Bust when I see one. Can Ward is 100% a Bust. Titans are known for Drafting Bust.
Baby hands Ward is the worst QB in this league!!! He suck!
No rookie should wear an all time greats #. Next we will have a top edge prospect wearing 34. Minus well let Houston wear the Oilers uniforms..
#’s retired for a reason!
S-U-P-E-R-B-U-S-T-. 🙂
Shut cam down till the new staff comes in
He's not a bust, he ass!
He has 50 fumbles in college and hasn’t changed seem like one to me
he does not look good.. been saying all offseason he is basically a black will levis.. and i wasnt far off… ball security, inaccurate throws, boneheaded decisions… man.. not trading down with the giants will go down as a mistake, probably as big as the ajb trade…
Cam Ward is the new Tank Commander and now, he’s going to be a “bust.”
Isn’t this what people did with Levis tho?!?!
Titans finally have a young promising quarterback, who is just a rookie and are expecting him to turn this dumpster organization around by himself sometimes sometimes Titans fans just don’t know how dumb they really sound. This is the worst roster offensively in the NFL and Cam is trying his best to win with it.
It SAD how a TEAM sport UNDER- PERFORMANCE can be pkaced on a SINGLE person When you OBVIOUSLY see the HOLES in the TEAM….. as a UNIT ..3 support POINTS for a SUCCESSFUL QUARTERBACK…..O – LINE, RECEIVERS, & RUNNING BACK. NOT to mention COACHING. THESE are the SHORTCOMINGS that CANNOT be placed on CAM
The QB examples you listed either all performed better as rookies or were younger than Cam.
Can Ward sucked in college, he was lazy in the pocket and couldn't break down defenses then. Nothing has changed, we wasted a #1 pick on a player who isn't as good as the Levis experiment was
What if Cam does bust. How far do you think it will set the franchise back even more?
Lockett released…
Well said Tyler
It's the GMs! They always overpay players they shouldn't
What Cam does bad isn't coachable. He is fundamentally a bad QB. Next year he'll be benched and we'll be on another QB.
So how are we going to sit here and defend cam ward saying we are being to quick to call him a bust when he was supporting doing the exact same thing to will levis WHO PERFORMED BETTER through his first 7 games
You’re clearly a casual if you calling a rookie in his ROOKIE year a bust 😂😂😂😂 goofy nfl fans man
Titan Up baby
The Same thing that happened to Levi's is the same thing that's happening to Cam, l don't care if you put Patrick Lamar etc, if you don't have an offensive line they would be playing the same way running for their life you have the weapons, but no foundation, you did Levi's like you're doing Cam instead of looking at the root of the problem o-line put the right players on the field and fix the problem, the line is a bust period Titan UP 💪
You keep saying seven games, but you can look at his college games too.. same mistakes, they just didn’t hurt them as much because their competition wasn’t elite.. I don’t think he’s a bust necessarily, I think this is just what cam is.. a bad number one pick.. he’s not particularly fast or strong, has bad footwork and passing mechanics, doesn’t possess elite arm strength or ball placement, and he’s a little small for the position… hate it or love it
Hoping the new Titans coach brings in a vet to "compete" and sends SCam to the bench.
