He actually has RB traits. Did anyone even watch the highlight video I posted? Several NFL throws in there. He doesn't need to change positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really have no objections to anyone that dislikes him as a QB. I'm hesitant to draft him if I'm the Bills GM because I don't want someone that needs time, I want Mr Right Now.

John from Riverside Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 6 minutes ago, Blokestradamus said: I'll go as far as saying this. Lamar Jackson is a quarterback. If his film says anything but that to you, you're doing it wrong. His mobility is a plus in theory. PFF put out a stat about 70% of his rushing yards being on designed runs, not scrambles. If you watch the games, you should tell the difference between a scramble and a zone read or inverted veer play. Does Lamar need work? Of course. His feet get too narrow, causes accuracy issues. He can look to escape pressure but he does a good job of keeping his eyes up against the rush. I think the biggest difference between him and Tyrod is that Lamar wants to be a passer and will stick with his reads longer. He's more intuitive and aggressive as a passer. I agree with this assessment. First....let me say that he is not my top choice in the trade up scenarios.....my top 3 are Rosen, Darnold, Mayfield BUT You cannot just give up on finding a qb if all of our plans go to crap trying to move into the top 10......and frankly if I can get a quality prospect (even if they need to sit a year) and NOT have to give up all my accumulated picks that is very very enticing to me......we need LB's, pass catchers, and OL also 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for versatility, but the biggest, most important thing for a QB is accuracy. 2nd is decision making. Tyrod wasn't accurate and he didn't make decisions because he didn't want to throw a pick and couldn't read the field well enough to operate quickly. I see some of those same traits in Jackson, even though he is more talented. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills don't have a right now roster, and probably won't approach that until next offseason/ draft at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just depends on if we have the coaching staff to coach him up, because if we don't, someone else will. Yes being able to Move INSIDE a pocket is vital. It comes down to one belief with Jackson. Do you think you can fix his major mechanical issues. If the answer is yes then his accuracy improves and he can succeed in the NFL. If you do not think you can fix them then you Do NOT draft him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actual throws to receivers running routes or just throwing through a speed tracker? If you watch his tape you'll see he absolutely rifles the ball into receivers hands.

Lamar is more that than any other because of his running ability. The Rams thought Goff was that and almost labeled him a BUST. Most QBs coming from college needs grooming nowadays. Andrew Luck being the exception. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 Came across this article today from Bleacher Report, which means I take it with a Mt. Everest of salt. He's not without his supporters and it was nice to see Kiper have his hypocrisy exposed, too. Anyway, if he's not impressing at interviews in terms of breaking down plays or retaining information, it's going to be a red flag. Wish I knew if those at the combine that are worse were any of those expected to be selected before him. Quote Jackson didn't help himself during his interviews with NFL teams, grading poorly with his preparation on the whiteboard, according to multiple sources. Teams have quarterbacks draw up their favorite plays against certain coverages, and they're looking for prospects to be as thorough as possible to grade their football intelligence. Jackson wasn't detailed, allowing skeptics to reinforce their view that he should change positions because of his "football IQ." "He has enough pluses that I still like him," said one NFL quarterbacks coach. "If he was really sharp with that, then he would be a top-10 pick. It was bad, but not the worst I've ever seen. Not even the worst at this combine." Here's the rest of the article. Again, it's Bleacher Report, so don't hold it up as a great example of sports journalism. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2766425-ditch-the-racially-coded-language-lamar-jackson-is-no-ones-wide-receiver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see some of those same traits in Jackson, even though he is more talented. Not throwing a pick IS a decision and a good one if you ask me. Tyrod drove me crazy as well, but if Jackson can scramble for a first down instead of throwing a pick that's also a good decision. He definitely needs work, but the potential is limitless. Simply labeling him as another Tyrod is just lazy IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
