Is Cam Ward overrated, or did Virginia Tech just expose his weaknesses?

Cam Ward’s touchdown celebration has definitely caught some attention! You might’ve seen the Miami QB celebrating his TD by covering his mouth with one hand while sticking the other arm out and flapping it. Do you know what it means? Well, who cares? It’s cool, right? Some fans say it means “We good, y’all stinky,” while others joke it’s like “an elephant waving its trunk.” Whatever the meaning, it’s becoming a big deal as Ward’s Hurricanes face off against Virginia Tech today.

As they say, “What goes around, comes around!” And Cam Ward got a taste of that on Friday night when Miami started their ACC play against Virginia Tech at Hard Rock Stadium. If you’ve been following him, you know he’s been one of the most productive quarterbacks in the country this season. After every big play, Cam celebrated in front of his opponents, but this time, Virginia Tech decided to turn the tables on him.

What was Cam’s reaction? We’ll have to wait for the post-game press conference to hear his thoughts, but it must’ve been a tough moment for him since the interception was totally unexpected. Still, Cam’s incredible performance this season has kept fans excited, no matter what.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Cam Ward overrated, or did Virginia Tech just expose his weaknesses?

Have an interesting take?

Cam Ward has been a game-changer for Miami, proving it week after week. In their first game, the Hurricanes dominated the Gators and followed that with three straight wins against Florida A&M, South Florida, and the Cardinals. Just last week, Ward took full advantage of the Bulls’ man coverage, throwing for 404 yards and three touchdowns with only one interception, leading Miami to a 50-15 victory over South Florida. His leadership has helped Miami start the season 4-0.

But Ward isn’t done yet. Fans are hoping for more this week, although Virginia Tech seems like a tougher challenge. As of now, Ward’s team is trailing 24-33 going into the third quarter.

Head coach Mario Cristobal has nothing but praise for Ward, saying, “He’s always trying to get better. He’s dynamic, he continues to prove he’s dynamic and a game-changer for us.” Cristobal’s confidence in Ward is clear, but the big question is whether Cam will live up to it in this ongoing match against the Hokies. Let’s wait and see how it plays out!
