BADOLBILZ Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 1 minute ago, Coach Tuesday said: The Ravens would be wise to take him. They drafted Tyrod under similar circumstances and LJ is a similar - but much better - player. Flacco will be phased out over the next 1-2 years and then LJ can step in and dominate. That's a good call. I'd be shocked if he made it to Buffalo's pick. What Watson did in Houston HAS to help his draft stock. When those two faced off Watson was definitely the lesser star talent and that is saying something. If Jackson fails to be better it will probably be a personality/processing issue because on the hoof dude is BETTER. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both mobile as hell and they both aren't traditional pocket QB's. They both also have strong arms and aren't known to be great anticipation throwers. Plenty of similarities, you simply are trying to make this something that it's not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamar Jacksons biggest strengths are his mobility in the pocket, his ability to create a new Pocket and to create a new platform to release the ball. Basically everything Taylor is terrible at.

Athletic QB’s with a propensity to run first. Not to mention neither will set records for accuracy. IMO they are more alike than they are different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamar is a better anticipatory thrower than Tyrod and getting better at it daily. If I'm the Bills and I have an opportunity at drafting Lamar Jackson, I'm doing it. He's going to need a bridge QB and a good one would be Alex Smith. Lamar's floor is Michael Vick. His ceiling is Randall Cunningham. Who knows, with his work ethic he could be Warren Moon.

Dkollidas Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Could see him being a target for the Cardinals. Middle of the 1st Round. Rosen/Darnold/Mayfield are likely fine by that time. I could see teams preferring Jackson’s upside over Allen’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEBills Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I’ll just leave this here for everyone: one thing about Jackson, he is so much faster at everything he does than everyone else. Defenders start collapsing the pocket on him and he takes a few steps and is out of reach. When he gets to the NFL game, it won’t be athletically too fast for him. He may need to learn to process info faster, but what kid doesn’t need work on that coming out of college. 2018 is shaping up to be an excellent class and I’d be excited if we get any of the top 5 QBs in RD 1.

Pretty evident from that analysis which of the two is favored by the analyst. I have no basis to dispute the work but you do have to wonder how much of it is because of the selection of what gets focused on by the analyst and what plays he chooses to demonstrate. What is interesting to see is that the line between good and bad is razor thin. Both of these guys have talent the question becomes can they get coaching and turn that talent into a high level of play in the NFL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty evident which QB, regardless of which clips you show, shows better poise, pocket presence and decision making. Jackson seems to process things faster and doing this against the premiere pass rusher in this year's draft.

K-Apps Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Now with Daboll as OC, I think I would draft Jackson if he’s available at 21. If they can develop an offense similar to what O’Brien did with Watson or Pederson did with Wentz, I think Bills can have a star player. Definitely will need a deep threat WR to compliment Jones and Benjamin for it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone Jackson could learn from and still allow the Bills to win games interim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
