A follow-up about Cam Ward's results was a question about what he's done so far, not a verdict on what the Titans quarterback can become
By PAUL KUHARSKY
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A follow-up question to Cam Ward on Wednesday has been treated in some places as something much bigger than it was.
That exchange was part of the latest edition of The Paul Kuharsky Podcast.
Ward said he's a very good quarterback. I don't think it's a good journalistic habit to let the subject of a press conference state something that is not in evidence without asking a follow-up, so I asked him if a very good NFL quarterback doesn't have better results than he's having.
He gave a reasonable answer that focused on context and moved on.
None of it changes that I believe he deserves more time and patience. None of it changes that I think he has a chance to be good. If he gets good, none of it will change the fact that he has not been very good yet and was bad against the Jets.
What Else We Covered on The Paul Kuharsky Podcast
We also talked about some Titans seeming too comfortable with losing, Mike Herndon's research about whether Week One is really a liar, Brian Daboll offering nothing at his press conference, the Hall of Fame's changes, what historically makes good Titans leaders, the Titans RPOs and much more. As usual, you drive a lot of the show with your questions.
