Windy City Gridiron on Sam Darnold

Darnold's brutal play has been outshone by backup Drew Lock.

The source grades Darnold as a 'D-' and states that when Darnold went down in Week 1, it wasn't season-ending, but 'an eye-opening experience in which backup quarterback Drew Lock has severely outplayed Darnold this season.' The source notes this 'has kind of been the story of Darnold's career,' and while he's put enough good tape to make some believe he can bounce back, 'if he doesn't soon, they might need to change the quarterback to salvage the season.' Overall, 'Darnold has been brutal, and it's simply not something Seattle can afford to live with.'
