I often read too much into data, but I think this is bad no matter how you slice it.
First, that is absolutely uncanny that he has the same rank in so many categories.
That being said, there are 32 NFL teams, so if you are consistently 19th, you're not even in the bottom third of the league. So it's not good, but it's certainly "starting caliber QB"

It's dead last based on the QB's who have thrown a qualifying number of passes (1,500).

Well then.
I had the same initial thought as you. What a poorly worded comparison tweet.

I like how that infographic opens with a quote by Darnold expressing confidence in his abilities... and then it's like, "I'mma 'bout to end this man's whole career."

Damn, that's awful. I was hoping he could turn things around -- Rest in Peace

He's probably not a valid starter. But when you start for a loser organization to begin your career and go to an organization that's been down for several years it can be tough to know what you really are.

I definitely believe that the early years of a player's development are a delicate make-or-break period and that aside from the rare exception (e.g. Gannon, Tannehill) you can't unscramble the egg. And bad teams probably ruin lots of guys who may have had success.
With that said, I feel like Darnold would have failed no matter where he ended up. He was billed as this very pro-ready passer, and while he has the arm to make all the throws, he actually was not all that good on some of the fundamentals like footwork, reading defenses, etc. And he's always been a Turnover Machine, both in fumbles and picks.
