Lamar Jackson

our style.

.

I want absolutely no part of him.

He is RGIII at best. Bad mechanics. Bad Footwork. Not a passer.

like Lamar Jackson not become elite NFL quarterbacks before we conclude that guys like Lamar Jackson won't become elite NFL quarterbacks?

Cam Newton isn't elite?

I think RG3 had a hero complex and as a result consistently placed himself in a situation where he could get hurt. I think QBs like Jackson could learn from RG3 and benefit. Now whether he can overcome bad mechanics and footwork...not sure. But RG3 had a pretty amazing rookie year and if he stayed healthy and continued to develop...who knows where he would be today.

His skill set is so tantalizing, the key is whether DG feels he is more Steve young or Joe Webb. I hope they take a hard look at him.

Some coach will create a hybrid position for Jackson

He can be a pistol QB , he can run an option offense

I would love to have him as a second QB / RB / WR in the same backfield with another QB
Just think the havoc that would created by shifting into alternative looks

I want no part of either one.

RGIII was a true threat. A stationary RGIII sucked.

That's the issue. If injuries happen, mobile QB's lose the edge that they have over the rest of the field.

Are you seriously comparing him to 6'5", 245 lbs. Cam Newton?

you guys never watched him play.

Front office guys also thought Jake Locker, Blaine Gabbert and Christian Ponder were top 15 qbs

going on here.

Will he ever be a good enough passer to be a pure pocket passer? If not, these guys always, always get hurt. Once they do, half their game is gone.

At a high level? No.

Yep.

I think he could make a good receiver. Take him in the 3rd.

I'm not sure what style our currently non-existant coaching staff runs.

Russel Wilson than rg3. Jackson when protection breaks down keeps his eyes upfield and progress through is receivers. Like Wilson his last option is to take off unlike the RG3s who see their 1st read covered and take off.

Convinced we're taking Josh Allen, linebacker from Wyoming in the 3rd, sorry.

FFS!

Lamar is amazing. Bill Polian is a dinosaur. Wish the Giants had the balls to draft him.

kidding me??

Jackson is much closer to CromartiesKid21 : 10:23 am : link : reply Russel Wilson than rg3. Jackson when protection breaks down keeps his eyes upfield and progress through is receivers.

In 4 years, Wilson ran for 1200 yards.
In 3 years, Jackson ran for 4,100 yards!

Jackson is much closer to Vick in that he takes off frequently and effectively. But he can also throw in the pocket. That's where RGIII had issues. No pocket ability to fall back on once he was injured.

Polian was very clear that at best Jackson is a developmental QB, but that even drafted that way, due to his athleticism, teams would push to get him on the field as a receiver/returner/runner.

I don't put a lot of stock in Kiper or McShay's opinions, but Polian has a phenomenal track record so his viewpoint should carry a lot of weight.

It is below average.

I think he needs to move to WR, and the sooner the better

He's gonna play WR

Ouch. Lol

That Jackson is much more like Vick then RGIII or Wilson.

Vick had his struggles throwing accurately at first, but he still was a dangerous threat his first years in the league. Who knows how good he could have been without the dog fighting. He was pretty damn good that one year in Philly.

Jackson is like Vick but he runs even tougher. If the coaches think Jackson is the guy in a trade down scenerio, then I'm all in for it.

he seems very careless with how he holds the ball...

Is going to rise or fall at the combine due to actual size, weight, speed, mechanics consistency and arm strength. He will need to run 4.5 or better, be the he 6-3 he is listed at and show consistency in his throwing process. He has done it all at the collegiate level but the level of players at the pro level takes the good running QB’s out the games. We will find out quite a bit about him in the near future and he has many questions to answer.

As for Cam Newton he had his one year of glory and did not win the big one. As he ages and his size starts to work against him the year of glory will become unrealistic to repeat. No Cam is not elite he might be the best running QB in history of the NFL but his passing game leaves much to be desired.

great arm, but there are concerns about his accuracy at the next level. I’ve read that some teams want to see if he would be amenable to a position switch if it doesn’t work out at QB before committing to drafting him.

In other words, he is a bit of a project, but his athleticism alone makes him a first rounder, IMO.

Great athlete, not a great passer.

Bill Polian also spent five picks in one draft on 3 centers and two tight ends. He thought Landry Jones was the best QB in his class. He thought Aj Mccaron was better than anyone in last years class

Josh Allen should be moving to tight end then

You aren't going to get me supporting Allen...But I do think Allen has much more arm talent than Jackson. Whatever though I don't like both as a 1st round QB

I read somewhere that he will be invited to the combine as a QB but scouts are also going to ask him to work out as a WR...
I would imagine that's a sign that NFL scouts view him like Sy

Where?

There is a film study video out there comparing josh Allen and Lamar Jackson that has some interesting points - the one ID like to review was Jackson
Compared to Allen whose mechanics and decision among were poor Jackson had a notably compactnquick delivery , largely good decision among and to me most impressive quiet feet in the pocket. The evaluator. Was very impressed with his ability to focus downfield , and not bail early, to have his feet set/ reset quickly and deliver with zip . He did. It comment overmuch on accuracy but thought it was good and could get better . Others, I know , have commented on his lack of accuracy.
ID encourage everyone to view this for a more complete
Picture .
I think based on this film review he should not be dismissed readily -

Saw that video when Terps posted it. BBI posters would really be doing themselves a favor by watching it. There are about 15-20 posts on Jackson in this thread that are just wrong.

We typically let some schlub nobody has ever heard of sit on the roster as 3rd QB forever and pray that he never plays. What if this guy does turn into an NFL pocket passer? Teams can interview people and have them throw..

Plus do all these Jackson should play WR people know if he can catch? I’d take by chances on developing him into a QB than trying to turn him into something he’s never been

Do you type with your toes?

Griffin had a rocket of an arm and blazing speed. However, he was brittle and didn't protect his body. He also couldn't read a defense or play under center, primarily because he never did it before. I believe the anecdote was he didn't even have a playbook in college ... and was damn proud of it.

If Jackson can protect his body, play under center and from the pocket, read defenses, and go through his progressions, I'm interested.

I think the reason is Jackson won't be a schlub at WR. He could be an impact player. It doesn't make sense to have an impact player at 3rd string QB. However, the decision is ultimately Jackson's to make. If his passion is to play QB, then he needs to make it perfectly clear that a position change is off the table. And more power to him if this is what he chooses. Teams need to draft accordingly, however.

Thanks for the link. That was pretty insightful.

Which is what this guy sounds like if he -does- transition.

And teams routinely bench rookie QBs while looking to build such value....so...
