Bootleg Football on Cam Ward

Ward's paralysis by overanalysis leaves offense barely existing despite good line.

Drake May describes Ward as gun-shy and paralyzed by overanalysis, opting out from the job of playing quarterback; he sits behind an offensive line playing fairly well with a 2.9-second time to throw and minimal pressure, yet makes no decisions, does nothing, and is barely contributing offensively. Coach Robert Salas said Ward has PTSD from past sacks, which doesn't help. The offense is barely existing because Ward is not executing the timing and structure that offensive coordinator Dable is drawing up; instead of making the big game-changing plays he made last year with extra time, he's now just burning prime time and delivering nothing.
