This is how to view the Sam Darnold Experience

All of Darnold's picks...

1. 9 times out of 10, Jefferson is going to win that positioning battle. Throw was accurate, hits JJ in the hands but the defender plays it well. Jags get a lucky bounce. No problem with this one.
2. Darnold has Powell open early, and Jones late, but he has time, so he uses it to wait for JJ. Not sure why he does that. It's a mistake compounded by the fact that when he releases the ball, JJ isn't looking and fails to stop his route.
3. Should've been a 50/50 ball that JJ will typically win, but the ball is thrown too far inside. Bad throw.
4. Has Addison in man on a 50/50 go ball that Addison will win more often than not. No problem with this one.

I think if you dissect INTs for all QBs, you'll find ones that look better or worse individually. Some are just dumb bad luck. Darnold throws INTs, that's his history in the NFL. But the team is 7-2. Can he move forward from this exact point and be better? Its up to him. As I've mentioned previously, he also can play very well and makes some throws other guys can't. How much Bad Sam can the team fade and still win games?
