Are Titans putting Cam Ward through a 'stupid' charade or necessary football tradition?

In a podcast episode of "Inside Coverage," Yahoo Sports' Charles Robinson and Frank Schwab discuss the Tennessee Titans' handling of rookie quarterback Cam Ward. Schwab criticizes the team's decision to split practice reps between Ward and Will Levis, seeing it as pointless since Ward is expected to start. He compares it to unnecessary quarterback competitions in the past. Conversely, Robinson defends the approach, arguing that making Ward "earn" the starting role, even if it's a bit staged, adds value. It provides motivation and a sense of accomplishment, fostering a competitive spirit. Robinson highlights similar strategies in NFL history, asserting that such "theater" is an integral part of football culture.
