    I think Darnold is proof that you can take any mid-tier qb and make them look amazing when they’re surrounded by a great team. A qb doesn’t get to the nfl by being shitty, they’re the top .01 percent of qbs in existence. See also: Flacco, Dilfer, Foles, Mahomes (yeah, I said it, he played like shit all year before he went down. His team got shitty and then so did he).
