From the episode

Look at Drew Locke. Drew Locke can make the throws that Sam Darnold can make. Now, I think Sam Darnold will make them with more regularity.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Darnold executes same throws as Locke with more regularity; preserves Vikings offense.

Darnold will execute the throws that backup Drew Locke can make with more regularity; the source notes that Locke's ability to run the same offensive plays preserves the Vikings' offensive identity, meaning Darnold's return would maintain continuity while improving execution consistency.
