Now take it easy.  It is PFF.

WTF does that even mean

Whew, they have a stat for everything.

I think they are saying it was his worst year, since he didn’t have that many plays last year he should have thrown the ball over.

They’re discounting turnovers they deem not to be on him. Tipped passes, etc.

some environments are conducive to success and good decision making by players across the board. others are not.  Hard to argue Darnold was the only one making bad decisions on the Jets last year... and this stat does suggest that's the case.

Production vs. volatility: Can a quarterback outproduce a bad turnover-worthy throw rate? | NFL News, Rankings and Statistics | PFF

"In the past, people have looked at the mistakes simply by using interception rate, but that’s a statistic vulnerable to factors outside of a quarterback’s sphere of influence. You can throw a perfect pass that hits your receiver’s hands, only to see it bounce up into the sky and be picked off. You can also make a terrible read and throw the ball straight to a linebacker only to see him drop the interception, recording merely an incompletion like any other harmless miss.

PFF’s grading system allows us to quantify these instances where the stat sheet misleads and tell a far more accurate picture using what we call Turnover-Worthy Plays. These are the lowest-graded throws in PFF’s grading scale and capture bad plays whether or not they resulted in a turnover. The designation can also absolve the quarterback for plays that were not his fault, such as dropped passes and plays where the receiver clearly hung him out to dry by stopping his route, running a bad route or ending up on a different page entirely."
