Worst QB start since 1999; 16.2% boom rate vs 24% league avg.
Ward has posted one of the worst quarterback efficiency starts in NFL history (250-play career sample dating back to 1999), ranking at the bottom of the EPA efficiency chart below Josh Rosen, Will Levis, Zack Wilson, and Blaine Gabbert. With only 16.2% boom plays (one EPA or more) versus league average of 24%, and the highest bust rate in the league, the source assesses Ward as fundamentally struggling rather than situational, stating 'I think he stinks. I think Ward's bad.' The source gave Ward a one-week window to prove himself and he failed to deliver. The efficiency has been so bad that by sheer variance alone things should turn in Ward's favor, but the source would consider it a win if Ward reaches Spencer Rattler's current efficiency level, suggesting significant downside from draft expectations.
