Darnold on the block?

[Chaka]

Let me add a few other guys that will help make my point

The hated John Elway:
Year 2: 2598 passing yards, 18 TDs, 15 INTs
Year 3: 3,891 passing yards, 22 TDs, 23 INTs

Troy Aikman
Year 2: 2,579 passing yards, 11 TDs, 18 INTs
Year 3: 2,754 passing yards, 11 TDs, 10 INTs

Steve Young
Year 2: 2,282 passing yards, 8 TDs, 13 INTs (Tampa Bay)
Year 3: 570 passing yards, 10 TDs, 0 INTs (traded to SF, behind Montana)

In fact, the more I look the more it seems to be kind of the norm for a QB to suffer through some adversity in his first few years before finally emerging as a legit star.
