Field Gulls on Sam Darnold

Darnold's all-or-nothing play and red-zone interception raise concerns about decision-making.

Darnold had positive moments against Kansas City but made another unnecessary risk in the red zone that resulted in an interception; the source characterizes him as an all-or-nothing quarterback who finds tight windows and makes excellent reads at times but makes disastrous decisions at others, with no middle ground. He needs to show he can protect the ball, recognize when a play isn't there, and accept that an incompletion can be better than trying to do everything himself. The concern is that he isn't learning from his mistakes after acknowledging he'd been too greedy after the Denver loss.
