Is there any hope for Sam Darnold? He and Jets face Denver Broncos on Yahoo Sports app - Yahoo Sports

At the 2017 NFL scouting combine, a year before Darnold could enter the draft, everyone raved about him.

Darnold had a turnover-filled sophomore season and his stock dipped a bit, but he was still the third pick of the draft to the New York Jets.

So far this season, the Jets and Darnold are equally terrible.

Last Sunday, Darnold started the game against the Indianapolis Colts by throwing a pick-six.

Darnold wasn’t very good last season, and yet he’s worse this year in completion percentage, yards per game, yards per attempt (by a full yard, from 6.9 to 5.9), touchdown percentage, interception percentage and passer rating.

In two of Football Outsiders’ key metrics, DYAR and DVOA, Darnold ranks 30th and 29th among 33 qualified quarterbacks.

The Jets don’t have a great supporting cast, and the few talented players Darnold has to work with have been hurt.

The Jets need to make a decision on Darnold’s fifth-year option after this season, and every game will be crucial in determining what to do.
