Darnold's production would project as superstar-caliber if he were on rookie deal.

The source argues that if Darnold were on a rookie contract with his current productivity and wins over the past two seasons, he would be projected as a future superstar; the perception gap reflects bias rather than performance, and swapping Darnold for a widely considered superior quarterback like Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, or Jordan Love would likely keep the Seahawks as favorites or level with the Rams.
