Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold doesn’t lead the NFL in, well, anything. But, if you dig deep enough, you’ll find he does stick out in something.
Warren Sharp of Sharp Football Analysis did that digging—and found out that when trailing, Darnold was the least efficient non-rookie quarterback (with at least 200 throws) in 2021. And in 2020. And in 2019.
least efficient non-rookie QBs when trailing, by year, since 2019:
2021 – Sam Darnold (CAR)
2020 – Sam Darnold (NYJ)
2019 – Sam Darnold (NYJ)(min 200 att)
