NFL Scout: Cam Ward "Leaves You Asking, 'What the Heck Was He Thinking There?'"

The defining feature of the gunslinger is letting it fly at any moment, odds of success be damned, often seeking the big play rather than taking the easy read within the structure of the offense. The players who make it work aren't consistently punished for the big risks they take, often due to unique physical gifts (Favre's rocket for an arm; Mahomes perfect blend of escapability, arm talent and creativity; Allen's size, scrambling and arm strength). The players who don't make it work end up being turnover machines.
