Progressed: Higher completion percentage

Darnold played efficiently in 2019 despite the offense’s inability to muster points or yards. He completed 61.9 percent of his passing attempts, which beat out Darnold’s 57.7 completion percentage in 2018. It’s not a great number by any means, but progress is progress.

This progressed has a lot to do both with Darnold’s ability to find receivers and also the type of passes he attempted. With Le’Veon Bell and Jamison Crowder in tow, Darnold completed a lot of shorter passes, as evidenced by his lower yards per completion mark.
