Cam doesn't have a cannon, is mobile, doesn't seem lazy, and seems like he wants to win.

Basically the exact opposite.

The organization’s answer to his issue is to “simplify” the playbook. Hence the question

Yes, playing the foosball is extremely mentally taxing. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants, etc could certainly take a page from Cam’s *ahem* simplified playbook

The coaches might have thrown to much at him to fast. He needs to learn the speed of the game. He is also on a bad team....I mean they did have the first overall pick.

Simplifying the playbook could mean a few different things not simply 'he is stupid'.

I think it is to early to say that he is "dumb" unless the media has had sources tell them such.

To be fair, I'm an accountant and even the best hires are not given the full set ASAP.

I have no opinion on Ward as a person. But as a QB I never understood why so many thought he would be a decent college QB. Last years draft class will go down as one with no decent long term QB’s. Ward and Dart will be given all the rope because of where they were drafted but neither are career starters.

I'm not saying he will be a great qb in the future or even a good qb in the future. Im simply saying that 'simplifying the playbook' doesn't mean that he is dumb.

What’s elite or #1 overall pick worthy about Ward? He and Bryce Young are the two most head scratching #1 QB picks in my lifetime. How does any franchise think players so limited can lead them anywhere?

Most of these guys are.

75 IQ is the definition of an idiot. My guess is that most of these guys are below that number.

If Lamar Jackson can grasp a playbook anyone can. Cam Ward is just dealt a crappy hand with the way the Titans are structured right now.

Idk about dumb but he is very bad as a QB and it's hard to see him ever getting good, but you never know. His game vs the Raiders was atrocious, he fumbles the ball just losing it out of his hand all the time, his passes are woefully inaccurate, even 5 yard slants are thrown horribly be it way behind the receiver or thrown into the ground.

He has no feel for anything. I expected him to struggle year 1, but not this bad.

LOL wrong. Jamarcus couldn’t read until his sophomore year at LSU. His tutor was a client of mine and she told me that. I said “what do you you mean…he doesn’t read well?” She looks at me and says “no, not ‘well’. He cannot read”. JR is dumb as brick

JR got a 24 on the Wonderlic. That's not a brainiac but that's far from dumb.

Don't be an ironic contrarian stepping into discussions where you are completely ignorant.

You need to likely read this book



The best football players are excellent at "thinking fast". That's why a traditionally dumb guy like Dan Marino was so much better at QB than a guy like Ryan Fitzpatrick (who is by all accounts much more intelligent in the traditional/slow sense than either).
