From the episode

when I watch Cam Warden, especially in this game, it makes me feel as though the game plan, the game script, they just don't trust him... Cam, 11 for 18 for just 87 passing yards in the first three quarters of this game... 62.5% completion percentage, negative 2.3% completion percentage over expected.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Titans' conservative game plan and low passing volume in first three quarters raises concerns about Ward's role.

The source expresses concern about the Titans' game plan and script with Ward, suggesting they don't trust him despite drafting him early. Ward went 11-for-18 for 87 yards in the first three quarters with low average depth of target, then 9-for-13 in the fourth quarter when the Titans were forced to play aggressively after blowing a 14-point lead. The source criticizes this inconsistency and conservative approach, noting Ward's 62.5% completion percentage and -2.3% completion percentage over expected (with no blitz), arguing the team should let their gunslinger quarterback "let it fly" to find out what they have.
