But what definitely doesn't make any sense is to compare Helton with a #3 overall QB and Sark with a 3rd rounder. Given how much of Helton's tenure is taken up with Darnold as the QB and how much better than part was then the rest of his oeuvre, it doesn't make sense to include it. When you actually do the apples-to-apples comparison of the two coaches with the same team and measured against what their opponents typically yielded, Sark was significantly better. Full stop.

Helton has had <1 year and a couple games with a QB not named Darnold.  In terms of number of quarterbacks, that is two, and the jury is still out on what he has done with one of them.  If Daniels does get to be as good as advertised by the middle of this year, and Helton gets 2.5 years where he is comparable to Darnold, then the assessment looks very different than if Daniels never quite asserts himself and the next three years are Kessler-esque (or if Helton has to switch QB's at some point in the next couple years).
