Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cam Ward has endured an up-and-down debut campaign. While there's undoubtedly been growth in recent weeks, the team is still 1-7 and the first-year signal caller is experiencing the typical growing pains that come with losing. Ward is learning how to successfully play quarterback in the NFL in a trial-by-fire rookie year.
One of the more disappointing aspects of the Titans' offense this season has been the pass protection. Despite pouring premium resources into the offensive line, Ward has been sacked on a league-high 34 occasions. While the protection has occasionally faltered him, Ward also has a penchant for holding onto the football while trying to extend plays.
