brings a setback [url=http://www.jetsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-morris-claiborne-jersey]Youth Morris Claiborne Jersey[/url] , as Darnold struggled badly against the elements and against the gaffes of his own teammates in the Jets’ loss against the Minnesota Vikings. Darnold moves back down the lists as his rookie year is shaping up like many rookies before him; a bit of a rollercoaster ride.A few things to keep in mind. All rankings herein are limited to rookie quarterbacks with at least 250 passing attempts in their rookie seasons. Prior to the 2018 season there have been 72 rookie quarterbacks with 250 or more passing attempts in the post merger era. Rate stats (like completion %) reflect actual current numbers for Darnold. Counting stats (like touchdowns or yards) reflect prorated numbers for Darnold assuming he continues to perform at the same level all season. Let’s get to it. Below are a bunch of quarterback metrics, listing the all time rookie leaders for each and showing where Sam Darnold fits assuming he plays at the same level all season.YardsAndrew Luck4374Cam Newton4051Jameis Winston4042Carson Wentz3782Peyton Manning3739...8.

Sam Darnold4.5As the season wears on the sample gets larger and the results more stable. The picture is becoming a bit more clear each week. The numbers are starting to look decent to good but not great in many categories for Darnold. One thing that may be a bit concerning is that Darnold ranks below league average in every major category this season. Although rookies often struggle, most of the rookies that go on to have excellent NFL careers manage to be at or above league average in at least one major statistical category in their rookie years. It’s not a foolproof standard, there have been exceptions, but if Darnold does not manage to at least make it to league average in at least one statistical category by year end it is not a particularly good omen for his career. Still plenty of time for things to change. We’ll track these numbers throughout the year and see how this unfolds. It’s week 6 and there are a number of great matchups today. Florida makes its 1st appearance on this list, but I am sure it won’t be their last. They are loaded with talent, especially at edge. I will be prioritizing games with prospects that fit our primary needs. Those are as follows: Edge, T, WR, RB, G, ILB, TE and CB. I added WR, and ILB to the needs list. Here are just a few games to check out, and who you should keep a keen scouting eye on throughout.Texas Vs. Oklahoma (Sat 10/6, 12:00 PM EST, FOX)Edge, Breckyn Hager, Texas (#44) *#60 todayHager has a great 1st step that lets him explode into the backfield. He needs to improve against the run.T, Bobby Evans, Oklahoma (#71)Evans has a ton of power and has the meanness that you like in a lineman. Looks to finish and dominate blocks downfield.WR [url=http://www.jetsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-kelvin-beachum-jersey]http://www.jetsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-kelvin-beachum-jersey[/url] , Collin Johnson, Texas (#9)Collin is a very tall receiver that does a great job at the LOS to get a quick release from the defender. He shows a lot of athletic ability with the ball in the air.WR, Marquise Brown, Oklahoma (#5)They don’t call him “Hollywood” Brown for nothing. This kid is a star and a playmaker. He can blow the top off of any defense.OG, Patrick Vahe, Texas (#77)Patrick is very good at getting to next level, and has above average mobility and uses frame to eat linebackers. OG, Ben Powers, Oklahoma (#72)Powers lives up to his name with a nose for power run blocking. Good build with little bad weight, durable player. Ben is a good puller and has very good reaction speed.OG, Dru Samia, Oklahoma (#75)Despite not having great lateral movement, Dru does move pretty smoothly to the second level. He blocks with a lot of powerCB, Kris Boyd, Texas (#2)Kris is a very physical corner who is smooth and athletic. He can be very sticky in man coverage. Boyd needs to add some strength at the next level.Other Notable prospects: DT, Charles Omenihu, Texas #90 - S, Brandon Jones, Texas #19Florida State Vs. Miami (Sat 10/6, 7:30 PM EST, ABC)Edge [url=http://www.jetsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-neal-sterling-jersey]Neal Sterling Jersey[/url] , Joe Jackson, Miami (#99)At the college level, the combo of Joe’s effort and athletic ability have made him a terror for the Hurricanes. He will need to develop more pass rushing techniques. He has 3 down prospects.Edge, Brian Burns, Florida State (#99)Burns has a variety of pass rush moves, footwork, burst and length. Brian’s ceiling as an NFL edge rusher is through the roof.WR, Ahmmon Richards, Miami (#82)Richards has a great release. Richards’ foot and handwork work together to beat press coverage and quickly accelerates.RB, Travis Homer, Miami (#24)I love watching RBs, and one thing I look at most is elusiveness. Making people miss is so important. Homes has this ability in spades.RB, Jacques Patrick, Florida State (#9)Patrick is a one cut, physical downhill runner. Patrick sees the field cleanly and knows how to work off his blocks.Off-Ball LBer, Shaq Quarterman, Miami (#55)Shaq has some great production, but there are times he looks like a chicken without a head. He is also technically unsound when taking on blocksCB, Michael Jackson, Miami (#28)Jackson moonwalked on the scene in a big way last year in an extended roll. Michael is more than just a great name. He is a very physical DB, who has that long bulky frame that teams love these days.CB [url=http://www.jetsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-doug-middleton-jersey]Authentic Doug Middleton Jersey[/url] , Levonta Taylor, Florida State (#28)Levonta is a little undersized, but his movement skills are something special. Taylor has lightning quick footwork, fluid hips and the speed to remain in phase with opponents to any part of the field.Other Notable prospects: QB, Deondre Francois, Florida State #12 - WR, Ahmmon Richards, Miami #82 - DT, Demarcus Christmas, Florida State #90 - S, Jaquan Johnson, Miami #4 - S, Sheldrick Redwine, Miami #22 LSU Vs. Florida (Sat 10/6, 3:30 PM EST, CBS)Edge, Jachai Polite, Florida (#99)Jachai Polite has been the edge rusher on everyone’s mind early in this 2018-19 season. He shows tremendous athleticism around the edge. Pair that with his never ending motor and you have a potential monster.Edge, Jabari Zuniga, FLorida (#92)Zuniga has a way of showing up against inferior opponents. He will have the chance today to do it against a quality team.T, Jawaan Taylor [url=http://www.jetsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-brandon-copeland-jersey]Youth Brandon Copeland Jersey[/url] , Florida (#65)Taylor has some great size that goes well with his frame. Jawaan’s hands are heavy in pass protection. He places his punches well, and can sit down against power. Taylor moves well, but isn’t overly explosive.T, Martez Ivey, Florida (#73)Ivey has all the physical tools you could want in a tackle, but there are too many times he looks like a chew toy for defenders.WR, Van Jefferson, Florida (#87)Like many sons of coaches, Jefferson is a very smart and technically sound receiver. His route running is superb.G, Garrett Brumfield, LSU (#78)Brumfield isn’t the biggest guy, but he plays with an anger and an edge. He is a smooth mover, and quick. He would look very good in a zone blocking scheme like ours.CB, Greedy Williams, LSU (#29)Greedy is one of if not the best defensive backs in this class. He has a near flawless resume, but does tend to be in chase mode a lot.Other Notable prospects: DT, Rashard Lawrence, LSU #90 - DT, Breiden Fehoko, LSU (#91)
