From the article

Ward finished 19-of-32 in Week 1 for 140 yards and a touchdown. A large portion of his production occurred via a garbage-time possession. Ward recorded 55 passing yards and his lone touchdown late in the fourth quarter once the Jets defense went into a late-game prevent shell. The All-22 tape review wasn't kind to Ward's performance. Ward was hesitant, inefficient, occasionally inaccurate, and even bailed from clean pockets.

Negative signalProjection

Ward's Week 1 performance was inflated by garbage time; tape showed hesitation and inefficiency.

Ward finished 19-of-32 for 140 yards and one touchdown in Week 1 against the Jets, but a large portion of his production came via garbage-time possession; he recorded only 55 passing yards and his lone touchdown late in the fourth quarter once the Jets defense went into prevent shell. All-22 tape review showed Ward was hesitant, inefficient, occasionally inaccurate, and bailed from clean pockets despite the offensive line performing better than broadcast angles indicated and receivers creating consistent separation. The sophomore No. 1 overall quarterback needs to get better weekly.
