Saleh staking his job on Ward's success; Daboll installing shorter-pass scheme for year-two growth
Robert Saleh expressed strong confidence in second-year QB Cam Ward, stating "This kid's not going to fail. Obviously, I put my job on that one, but he's not going to fail. He's special." Saleh's conviction is backed by Ward's first-year performance (3,169 passing yards, 15 TDs, 7 INTs across 17 starts) and the addition of offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and quarterbacks coach Shea Tierney, who have experience developing QBs like Josh Allen. Daboll is installing a game plan focused on shorter passes and not drastically changing Ward's mechanics, similar to his early approach with Allen in Buffalo. Ward himself noted that "Everything slowed down" and praised Daboll's ability to execute plays in real time, suggesting improved comfort in year two.
