From the article

He's thrown five picks in 88 pass attempts this season — 5.6% of his throws. While that doesn't seem like a significant number, consider that the highest interception percentage of his career was 4.3% last season. Even when he was a struggling rookie with the hapless Jets, Darnold wasn't throwing interceptions at this rate.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Darnold's 5.6% INT rate this season exceeds his career high and rookie struggles.

Darnold's playoff performance last season—three games, no turnovers, one Super Bowl win—created expectations for sustained excellence this season. However, through three games, he has reverted to a mistake-prone version; he's thrown five interceptions in 88 pass attempts (5.6% interception rate), exceeding his career-high of 4.3% from last season and surpassing even his struggling rookie year with the Jets. The source notes this is a significant concern that needs to change.
