From the article

Russ might have had his own disrespect at the time when he was compared to Andrew Luck, Colin Kaepernick, and Cam Newton and looked upon as good, but not as good as any of them. But even the biggest Wilson skeptics acknowledged he was a dynamic play-maker who kept turnovers to a minimum and made clutch plays when he needed to.

Wilson faced similar disrespect but was credited as dynamic playmaker; Darnold gets harsher framing.

The source draws a historical parallel between Russell Wilson's disrespect during the Seahawks' previous Super Bowl era and Sam Darnold's current disrespect; Wilson was patronizingly called a game manager and compared unfavorably to Andrew Luck, Colin Kaepernick, and Cam Newton, yet even skeptics acknowledged he was a dynamic playmaker who minimized turnovers and made clutch plays; the source argues Darnold faces harsher framing as a two-hit wonder despite similar or better underlying performance.
