Spoiler Alert: He won't.
Amen !!
Allen has improved his accuracy for sure but not enough to beat the Chiefs IF we get good pressure and good 2ndary play . [Reply]

I don't understand why Ward gets so much love. I don't care what PFF says, Ward is the best at being next to the receiver catching the ball.
There are so many times when he looks dumbfounded that his man caught the ball. Sure, it looks like he is great in coverage, but he is nearly as oblivious to the ball as William Bartee was.
If his receiver doesn't catch the ball, it usually has more to do with the receiver and the QB, than it does with Ward making a good play.

Ward’s speed covers a lot of his mistakes and while he’s not a #1 by any stretch, he’s not garbage, either. [Reply]

I don't think he is garbage, but I don't see the star corner that PFF sees, or some of the fans see.
I think he has given up 2 or 3 touchdowns just this year where he looks surprised that his receiver was the target, and surprised that the receiver caught the ball, all because he doesn't seem to have any instincts or awareness when it comes to locating the ball, or anticipating the pass. And it's not just in the end zone.
In contrast, Tyrann Mathieu has instincts, and an internal clock, and is almost always aware that the ball is in the air, and the ability to look for the ball and still stay with his man. I acknowledge that Mathieu's instincts are special, but Ward doesn't seem to have any instincts at all.
I love Ward's size and speed, and I believe he can get better. But, he is being outplayed by Sneed. I think if Sneed didn't miss significant time due to his injury, he may have been the starting CB opposite Breeland on the outside already.
