I think the best player in this draft is Lamar Jackson. If he's there at 2, I'm taking him.


What parts of LJ's game do you envision him using going forward in the NFL? Teaching him to slide is a no brainer but do you see him running as often?

Would you be willing to red shirt him for a year to learn to play under center and read defenses better?

Thanks. (Any other LJ fans may chime in.)
Thank god they won’t be dumb enough to take him at 2

Trade down if that’s your guy

If you want to bring in Kubiak who you see as a perfect fit for Eli (I don’t disagree with that point). If we understand Eli only has a year or 2 tops, why are we ok drafting Jackson who is the exact opposite style QB to play in that system?

If I understand correctly you want 2 or 3 QBs all of the same skill set so all your eggs are not in one basket. This part I disagree with.

You really don't want to have 2 playbooks for your QB and his backup. Terps is correct that LJ's backup should have a similar (albeit inferior) skill set.
He already takes snap from under center

One of his best attributes is running playaction from under center

Thanks for that correction. I've been watching tape on 4 QB's. It's Mayfield & Darnell I did not see under center. I'm getting old...
If there's a few things

that are pretty much set in stone...Giants won't take Jackson or Mayfield as their pick

Are you fucking serious about fucking Gary fucking Kubifuckingak?!

I'd play him the same way he's played at Louisville. You take away his running ability and you aren't maximizing his talent. It's the number one mistake we see with mobile quarterbacks.

Chris... that's a fair point. My hope would be that Kubiak knows enough about offensive football that he can implement something to best utilize Jackson. If he can't, you replace him with someone who can. That said, I imagine that Jackson would be very effective in this type of offense. The rollouts would be devastating.

Del... Real Madrid. They're gonna be a freight train in a couple months. Man City has a real shot too. Barcelona is on borrowed time.

I noticed the rollouts in the limited game film I watched. His speed and ability to roll out further than I've seen before were surprising.

Turtles are so stupid, slow and on the lower bottom of the food chain. Why do you root for them? Is it because ODB AND shockey were fast the reason you hate them?

is getting sooo much grief -- this season pretty much, for reasons he expressed early and often, went the way he called it
every running QB who "is allowed to be himself" ends up seriously

injured. If he has to run to be effective, he won't last. NFL QBs still need to pass from the pocket. Escapability/ability to extend plays is what is needed.

Just the threat of running is a good way to keep the defense honest.

yes, mobility is good, but NEEDING to run to be effective is not, RGIII being the perfect example.

Not to mention Carson Wentz. He might not have needed to run but he did anyway. QBs who regularly venture past the LOS are looking for short careers.

I'm with you on this as well. Go Terps is must-read. Even when he isn't right he's always willing to stand behind his positions.

Some people have ripped him, reducing his positions in unfair ways. This question follows up to what was a pretty solid plan he put up about what he'd do if he was the GM.

Most people here haven't put forth a more detailed plan but are content to rip on Terps.

Some posters don't like seeing sacred cows criticized.

But I was dead wrong on McAdoo. I thought he was the goods. I had us at 9-7 this year so I'm as surprised as anyone.
