He also fumbled 6 times last year too.

Sure, and there's a couple of other things that were meh too. His rushing didn't improve any. But anyone can see that he had a significant upturn last season.

Here's his year-on-year QB Rating (as per wiki) :

2018 - 77.6
2019 - 84.3
2020 - 72.7
2021 - 71.9
2022 - 92.6

Yards per attempt:

2018 - 6.9
2019 - 6.9
2020 - 6.1
2021 - 6.2
2022 - 8.2

INT per game:

2018 - 1.15
2019 - 1
2020 - 0.92
2021 - 1.08
2022 - 0.5

He showed significant improvement, and I imagine that is part of why he got the opportunity here.
^ great stats

Darnold also finished higher than Purdy in completion percentage over expectation. Purdy finished with a -2.1 and Darnold finished with a +2.4.

So if I don't expect Darnold to complete passes, but he does, then it's over expectation? Nice stat.
