From the article

Sam Darnold was terrible and worse than the stats suggested. The one pick was kind to Darnold. The sack number could've been much higher if not for repeated undisciplined penalties by the Bears secondary. He had happy feet, inaccurate throws, basically everything we weren't seeing last week against the Kansas City Chiefs. This is not a quarterback playing with confidence or trusting what he sees, and the combo of his struggles and Fleury's struggles could be tied together.

Negative signalProjection

Darnold's performance worse than stats; happy feet and inaccuracy signal lost confidence.

Darnold was terrible and worse than the stats suggested in the 34-17 loss to Chicago. The source notes that the one interception was kind to Darnold, and the sack number could have been much higher if not for repeated undisciplined penalties by the Bears secondary. He displayed happy feet, inaccurate throws, and showed none of the confidence or trust in his reads that he displayed the previous week against Kansas City. The source ties his struggles to offensive coordinator Fleury's struggles, suggesting a combined breakdown.
