You are literally describing Intended Air Yards/Attempt. They are surprisingly close in that regard(closer than I thought).

BuT hE's VeRsAtIlE aNd TaLeNtEd!!

Cam never took losses well which I never had an issue with because I want players to win, although he didn't take the losses maturely all the time. I'd still rather have a QB that actually cared about winning and had some fire. We haven't had that since he left.

174 to 151. Darnold's runs have been less impressive than you are remembering but most people also forget that Teddy actually did have some wheels on him. He actually rushed for 279 yards in 2020.

Well, the Pressure % was still 28.0% through 4 games. Ground production for Darnold is about 5.2 YPC, Teddy was 5.0 YPC. Darnold carried the ball 34 times to Teddy's 30 times. The biggest thing is that Darnold has a nose for the end zone when we are in the red zone and Teddy just did not have that at all. Heck, he didn't have it through the air either.

He accounts for 12.3% of our YAC.

2020: 7 total TO's from the QB's. 2021: 10 total TO's from the QB's. I do want to point out that this isn't completely a Teddy vs. Sam list of stats. This does include PJ in both 2020 and 2021 at the 8 game mark of the season.

19.8% Bad Throw percentage is atrocious too. So is the 27.9% pressure percentage. Yuck.

Oddly, much more productive in YAC this season. That was surprising to see.

Some interesting comparisons from last season and this season(QB, OL, WR). First Down Passing % 2020: 38.1% 2021: 31.9% Intended Air Yards/Pass Attempt 2020: 7.0 2021: 7.9 Completed Air Yards/Pass Attempt 2020: 4.0 2021: 3.2 YAC/Cmp 2020: 4.2 yds 2021: 5.5 yds Drop % 2020: 4.7% 2021: 7.6% Bad Throw%(hilarious side note, PJ Walker has 9 bad throws on 15 attempts this season) 2020: 12.8% 2021: 19.8% Pressure % 2020: 20.1% 2021: 27.9%

He hasn't changed at all. Look at film from the other three teams he has been on in his short career.

Agreed. OG's remember how great that D was.

The line starts playing mediocre??? poo....sign me up for that!

He has been this guy his entire career. I have no idea why they signed him in the first place.

If you haven't figured it out, @4Corners is basically the dumbest and most useless poster on the Huddle and that is saying a lot.

The 4 Man Rush has been crushing him all year long for his lack of effort.

I legit forgot to mention that we have held our opponents under 200 Passing Yds/GM 6 other times. This year we are averaging 188.9 yds/GM passing. The other times are as follows: 2009 - 191.0 2006 - 187.5 2005 - 191.1 2003 - 187.7 2002 - 187.1 1997 - 187.9 Really this information shouldn't be a surprise as almost all of our head coaches in franchise history have been defensive minded head coaches.

That was a once in a lifetime kind of find, unfortunately. It's pretty rare to find a dumpster dive QB like that(Kurt Warner comes to mind). We need something. Honestly, I will settle for just a guy that won't fug it up for the defense while we try to find The Guy.

Measuring by talent will always be subjective. Measuring by results will never be subjective.

No.

Chip Kelly-esque.

Nor do you have any proof of your claim. I know that Teddy Bridgewater did better here with a similar situation. Let that sink in.

I don't blame the OL coaches or QB coaches for the turds they have been given to shine.

Most elite QB's would have done far better than Darnold has here. Most average QB's would have done far better than Darnold has here. Most QB's would have done far better than Darnold has here.
