The Curious Case of QB Sam Darnold

by CypherSimile | 7 years ago | 2 Comments

"With the 3rd pick, in the 2018 NFL Draft, the New York Jets select...Sam Darnold, Quarterback, Southern California."

At this moment, the New York Jets assumed that they were drafting their future great. Their next Joe Namath. Or at least, their next Chad Pennington (regard him, peasants). This is what the entire New York Jets fan base hoped for. And hey, it is very well possible that this still occurs. But in Madden? Probably won't be the case unfortunately.

For whatever reason, the 3rd pick in the NFL Draft, the second selected quarterback in the entire draft, the #1 QB on many experts draft boards, has been given a lowly rating of a 75 overall which ranks 4th out of the top 5 QBs drafted. QB Baker Mayfield was given an 81 overall as the #1 pick, QB Lamar Jackson was given a 79 overall as the 32nd pick, and QB Josh Rosen was given a 78 overall as the 10th pick.

So what gives? Why was QB Sam Darnold given such a low rating despite being so highly acclaimed? First and foremost, let's remember that this is Madden. A video game. The ratings determine the overall for a lot of these players. Some attributes are highly regarded and some are not. Out of all of the significant QB traits out there (throw power, accuracy, mobility, etc.), which of those does QB Sam Darnold rank 1st? Easy answer is that he doesn't. But the thing that separates QB Sam Darnold from the other QBs is that he's not bad in any one area. Look, his 90 throw power is acceptable, his 86 short & 82 mid are about on par and his 73 deep accuracy isn't the best ever but it's not close to being the worst. Even his 85 Throw on the Run looks pretty good compared to the top QBs in the league.

Yeah, QB Sam Darnold probably deserves better than a 75 overall but it isn't something that is going to hamper his ability to lead that New York Jets offense to something spectactular. Eventually, these beginning attributes won't matter and what will matter is what Coach Cyphadagawd and staff are able to do to help QB Sam Darnold progress into being the QB he was drafted to be.

Jets fans, remain calm. It's just a video game and there are hundreds of thousands of flavors in the world...there is no reason to pick salty.
