It took one NFL snap -- -- to enter an exclusive club of quarterbacks (Brett Favre and ) who threw pick-sixes on their first NFL pa ses. It took Sam Darnold one game -- -- Joe Flacco Jersey to join an exclusive club with a certain future Hall of Fame quarterback who might end up going down as the greatest quarterback in NFL history.According to ESPN Stats & Info, Darnold became the first quarterback to win his first NFL start by 31 points since beat and the by 31 points way back in 2001. Sam Darnold was the first QB to win by 31 points in his first career start since Tom Brady in Week 3 of 2001 against the Peyton Manning-led Colts. ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) In Brady's Ronnie Stanley Jersey first start, the beat the Colts 44-13, but that didn't have that much to do with Brady, who went only 13 of 23 for 168 yards, no touchdowns, no picks, and a 79.6 pa ser rating. That win was more about the Patriots' defense, which forced four turnovers, including three interceptions of Manning. More on the NFL Similarly, the did not win by 24 points on Monday night because Darnold carved up the Lions. Darnold certainly played well after his early miscue by completing 16 of 21 pa ses for 198 yards, two touchdowns, that lone pick, and a 116.8 pa ser rating, but the win was more about the Jets dominating the Lions in every single facet of the game. They picked off four times. Their defense and special teams each scored a touchdown. cleared the 100-yard mark despite getting only 10 carries. Darnold wasn't the reason for the blowout. He played well enough to win, but not well enough to warrant a blowout of that magnitude. Clearly, this doesn't mean Darnold is the next Brady. It's been one game. That might seem obvious, but I just wanted to explicitly say it so nobody accuses me using something like #QBWinz to justify a Brandon Williams Jersey Darnold-Brady comparison this early in his career.But again, let's give Darnold the credit he deserves. He could've collapsed after that pick-six, which really was awful. On the first play of the game...Quandre Diggs PICK-6! : ESPN NFL (@NFL) But he didn't. "Darnold proceeded to go 6-of-8 on his next three series, 23 total plays that generated 10 total points for the and gave them the lead." I criticized his first touchdown for being slightly underthrown, which gave the defensive back a shot at an interception, but that's probably being a bit too nitpicky. Sam Darnold's first career TD pa s is a DIME! : ESPN NFL (@NFL) He's clearly got the tools to succeed. This was, Marlon Humphrey Jersey in my opinion, Darnolds most impre sive play against the . So much to like: Pocket presence, mobility, ball protection, field awarene s, accuracy & arm strength on the move. This is why the are excited. Not many QBs rookie or not make this play Connor Hughes (@Connor_J_Hughes) Most importantly, as the final scoreline indicated, the Jets might actually have a solid team already in place around Darnold. The offensive line kept him well protected, the Ben Powers Jersey running backs created big plays, the receiving crew might be among the league's most underrated units, and the defense was nearly flawle s. The team around Darnold is just as important as Darnold himself. Young quarterbacks can't do everything by themselves.On Monday night, Darnold got the help he needed to turn a nightmare start into a perfect debut. |
