From the episode

With Darnold, the weird hip injury... I don't think is a huge downgrade in part because I don't think Sam Darnold is really like this great elite quarterback.

Darnold's hip injury is a downgrade, but the team can manage with Drew Locke

Sam Darnold is dealing with a hip injury that will sideline him for a few games. Anderson views this as a downgrade, though not catastrophic, as he considers Darnold a mid-tier quarterback (around 20th best) and believes the team can survive with Drew Locke in the short term.
