Darnold's 7 TDs, 7 INTs and injury concerns raise questions about his ability to sustain early-season form.

Darnold has thrown 7 TDs and 7 INTs through Week 7, including 4 INTs during Seattle's current two-game losing streak. Field Gulls notes that Darnold often struggles against pressure and his early-season success was driven by specific personnel groupings (12 and 13 personnel) that defenses have since adjusted to. After suffering a glute injury on the fifth snap of the season opener, Darnold does not appear fully healthy yet. Despite Mike Macdonald publicly stating he is not considering a QB change, the underlying concern is whether Darnold can rediscover his early-season form or if he will continue to regress as defenses have adapted their coverage schemes.
