Each week this season, I have been grading every one of the Jets’ starting quarterback’s plays from his most recent game to get a 0-to-100 grade on the quality of his performance.
After Joe Flacco took his place over the prior two games (and played rather decently), Sam Darnold made his return against the Dolphins this past Sunday. Let’s analyze his play throughout the afternoon to get a feel for his true level of play.

Digging through the All-22 film, I went back and graded every play (pass attempt, sack, rushing attempt) Darnold logged in the game, scoring each on a scale of 0-to-10 (5 representing an average play).
