Reporter delivers brutally honest message to Cam Ward

Cam Ward, the Tennessee Titans' starting quarterback for his second season, is receiving very candid feedback from local media. At a press conference on Thursday, radio host and podcaster Jared Stillman confronted Ward about his preseason performances, prompting the quarterback to ask Stillman how he himself would assess the performances.

Stillman bluntly replied "not well," to which Ward countered that he had improved from Week 1 to Week 2. Ward's overall preseason stats were lackluster, with 57 yards passing in Week 1 and 69 yards in Week 2. However, Stillman remains critical, having tweeted his concerns about Ward's performance, calling it "shocking" how the quarterback reacted to the criticism.

Ward, praised for handling the attention during his debut season, must now prove himself in the regular season.
