"NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Although there weren't expectations for rookie Cam Ward to lead the Tennessee Titans to a Super Bowl in his first season, there was a degree of belief that the No. 1 pick would offer a promising look into the future. There have been flashes, such as Ward's first NFL touchdown pass -- when he threw the ball across his body while scrambling to fellow rookie Elic Ayomanor against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2."
"It has been a challenge for Ward, but there have been obstacles outside of his control as well. Brian Callahan, who was relieved of his head coaching duties after a miserable 20-10 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6, handed over playcalling duties to quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree after an 0-3 start as the offense failed to find its footing."
Rookie quarterback Cam Ward has shown occasional flashes but has struggled through the first half of the season. Ward has completed 57.6% of his passes for 1,760 yards with five touchdowns and six interceptions, and his 11 turnovers (five fumbles lost, six interceptions) tie for third most in the NFL. Ward has been sacked an NFL-high 38 times. The Titans are 1-8 and underwent coaching changes: Brian Callahan was relieved after Week 6, playcalling shifted to quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree after an 0-3 start, and interim coach Mike McCoy aims to stabilize the offense after a Week 10 bye.
