Yep. I was going to point out that those numbers show Darnold to be a better passer.

It's a dumb stat because it gives too much weight to running QBs and sacks.

Burrow blows everyone out of the water on the passing metrics but gets hugely dinged in the sack which brings his total score down significantly.

QBR loves Burrow, you should be defending Love

If i'm taking a QB for the next 10 years, it's Love easily. For the next 5...same thing.

If i'm taking a QB for this year, it's Darnold and i honestly wouldn't need to think about it.

Darnold needs credit as he got over playing for the shitty ass Jets.


That's hard to come back from.





Until he took off this year he was the most confusing "bust" of recent QB's. His college tape was great.

If the Vikings could trade Darnold for Love to start the playoffs this year, they’d do it immediately
