Darnold is still the #1 QB (Rosen is just another Matt Ryan)

I'm watching Darnold's OSU game. He gets pressured all game yet makes great plays in spite of it. Sam hits his receivers in stride and anticipates where theylll be. But sets. Darnold apart is his pocket awareness and He has special pocket presence like Goff. Sam stands tall in the pocket, looks down the field, and manipulates the pocket to find space and time. Along with Darnold's quick release and accuracy, this is what makes him special. His NFL comparison is a fleet footed Philip Rivers. Top QB potential.

After witnessing Darnold's and Stidham's relative ease in making reads and stepping up in the pocket, Rosen's limitations are more glaring. Rosen often settles for short gains a la Alex Smith and fails to make headway under pressure like Matt Ryan. The latter is his ceiling. Is that worth #2?
