So Goff and Darnold's numbers in this particular metric are down there with career backups. I'm not saying he is a career backup; that's just what the numbers show for that particular metric.

And since you don't factor in the offensive line, to you Goff and Darnold are the same. To me they are the numbers of a young struggling qb, and a qb who is playing in 2019 (and late 2018) behind an OL that had lost its coherence. (Though it may be, in defiance of all reasonable expectations, improving in spite of having to start 3 youngsters out of the blue mid-season).

Honestly. To me any analysis that does not account for all that (subpar/collapsed/broken OLs)--and what it pretty much invariably does--is kind of just abstract and empty. I just don't get anything from it.

I have known for years about the myth that there are qbs who "elevate" OLs in those situations, and so on, (not that anyone ever names examples), and to me that always means the person upholding that is not really factoring in what subpar and broken OLs do to qb play. And again, for..what, the millionth time ( )? A subpar/broken OL does NOT simply mean more pressure. It is way beyond that. So focusing on just pressure cannot account for it.
