STACKED’s take
Ward's rookie year: 3,169 yards, 15 TDs, 7 INTs; 17th in league amid coaching chaos.
Ward finished his rookie season with 3,169 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, and seven interceptions, ranked 17th in passing yards. He faced significant coaching instability, having two head coaches (Brian Callahan and Mike McCoy) and two play callers (Callahan and Mike McCoy) during his rookie year. His top wide receivers were fourth-round rookies Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor, representing lackluster surrounding talent. Ward was injured on the first series of the Week 18 regular season finale with a shoulder injury; had he not been injured, he likely would have finished 16th in passing yards. The source notes that during OTAs and minicamp, Ward struggled while learning Daboll's offense and figuring out how to test tight throwing windows, though he improved from OTAs to minicamp and has had mostly positive practices at training camp to date.
