Do you know the timestamp?

6:36 ... "He's in the Mahomes tier"

 

Welcome aboard!

It just takes time. Ward has been good at every level, and he's kind of a late bloomer anyway (in the sense that he didn't get to Miami right away...he earned his way there). No one will outwork him. That's HUGE. People throw around 'you can't coach that!' too much, but in this case, it's true. You can't coach willpower and desire. He has it as much as anyone. 

 

He's a rookie on a bad team, surrounded by below average players (some of whom will grow with him and hopefully become above average players...Helm seems especially intriguing to me, and Dike of course). There was no way he was going to look good the first half of the season. Everything was against him, and he was learning the transition. I'm honestly surprised he's playing this well this quickly, especially against Houston and Seattle. If he looks decent against the Browns (who honestly might have the best def in the league...their offense hides that), then that's even better. But even if he doesn't, he's grown by leaps.

Imagine if Ward had the surrounding offensive talent that JJ McCarthy has in Minnesota.

You should watch this one. They talk a lot and I don’t watch them often, but they did a very good review of the  last game. 

 

It’s not ‘rah rah’ but anybody who doesn’t know everything might find it interesting.  They did a good job.

Great episode and they’re pretty spot on: The top 4 or 5 throws he makes a game are insane, we need to be patient with him as he plays through his struggles, the system and weapons suck, and he was great against Seattle

I think these guys understand that judging by round four of the draft.
