Cam Ward entered the NFL with the arm talent and improvisational ability that made comparisons with Patrick Mahomes easy to understand. Jason Whitlock thinks those comparisons may now be doing the Tennessee ****** ans quarterback more harm than good.
Whitlock argued that Ward's best path in Year 2 is not chasing spectacular off-script plays. Instead, he believes the 2025 No. 1 overall pick needs to play more like Brock Purdy, take easier throws, and get more comfortable operating within structure.
"If Cam Ward is going to make it in the NFL, he will have to stop trying to be Patrick Mahomes and adopt more of Brock Purdy's game instead," Whitlockwrote on X.
During the accompanying discussion, Whitlock agreed with former ****** ans scouting director Blake Beddingfield's recent argument that Tennessee needs Ward to become more of a game manager.
"The problem with Cam is he does not paint within the numbers enough," Whitlock said. "Take the dump down. Take the check down. Take the eight-yard hitch."
