Titan Sized writer Michael Haney argues that the Tennessee Titans should not move on from quarterback Cam Ward despite mounting criticism following a Week 3 loss to the New York Giants. While acknowledging Ward's red-zone errors and poor statistical metrics over his first 20 career games, Haney contends that moving on from the 2025 first overall pick would reflect organizational failure rather than Ward's shortcomings alone.

Haney highlights that Ward has endured major instability, including a fired coaching staff during his rookie year, severe pass protection struggles, and inconsistent receiver play. Despite the additions of Carnell Tate and Wan'Dale Robinson and the arrival of offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, Haney claims the Titans have failed to support Ward, even as speculation links Tennessee to potential 2027 draft prospects such as Arch Manning.
