To get a more accurate grasp of the true quality of Sam Darnold’s performances, I have graded every play of his career (pass attempt, rush attempt, sack) on a scale of 1-to-10. By taking into account factors such as down, distance, time, field position, separation created by teammates, protection quality by the offensive line, quality of the coach’s play-call, and various other things, Darnold is judged far more fairly than he is by the traditional box score statistics, which do not account for any of those extremely crucial elements.
