Levels Of Expectations For Cam Ward

Those are lofty expectations to put on a rookie quarterback. That's not to say Cam Ward isn't capable, but more to say that it's a lot of things to put on his plate. 

Warren Moon, a Hall of Fame quarterback, has a different perspective when it comes to Ward and expectations. 

"In order for you to do well, you have to depend on other people doing their jobs for you as far as the offensive line getting protection, having a running game that takes some of the pressure off of you so you don't have to throw the ball every down and then a good defense being able to get you the football back, getting turnovers and getting you good field position," Moon said on the "Touring The AFC South" podcast. "All those things go along with helping out a young quarterback to do well."

Moon points out that the surroundings will be the thing to bring out some of the better results for Ward's rookie season. While Ward may be a special quarterback and able to cover up some things, it would be better for him to have a stable cast around him to allow him to mature, get comfortable and be the best version of himself on the field. 

How the cast around him plays is a question mark at this point, but the Titans went out and added some pieces offensively to try and set him up for success. Now, the question is how those pieces perform. All of these things tie together to the success of Ward and the Titans this season.
