Gordio Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 L Jackson is Greg Roman's dream QB. He has everything in his arsenal that Roman wants in a QB. It is a perfect match. L Jackson is like Mike Vick on steroids. yes he is that talented. The people that compare him to T Taylor that is funny. Taylor has never had the skill set like LJ. Not even close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisville's big throw plays were mostly in the middle of the field for sure. Its one of the reasons I didnt like him as a pro prospect. But with his athleticism I had a feeling he may be the best out of the gate. Quarterbacks with that much athletic talent usually are. Vince Young won rookie of the year and looked great, and then fizzled. RGIII was great his first year and then busted out because of injuries. Tyrod was a very good qb for us his first year, and then teams figured him out. The NFL made Vick out to be the second coming after he beat the Packers at Lambo, but he was never more than a bit above average as a thrower. Lamar is a legitimate MVP contender this year because he is incredible with his legs and makes a lot of safe wide open passes. He may end up great but I think its fair to temper expectations and not crown him as the best from this class until at least after the third full year of playing. Defenses may adjust. Its hard to tell. 1 minute ago, Gordio said: L Jackson is Greg Roman's dream QB. He has everything in his arsenal that Roman wants in a QB. It is a perfect match.

Why do you say its not even close? I disagree completely. I think Lamar is bigger and probably faster, but as far as arm talent goes I think they are pretty comparable.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) I think the question will be can he stay healthy with all the running. That's true of Allen too, but do think with Jackson his running sets up his passes more so even that with Allen. Assuming Allen continues to improve just a little bit more on his accuracy, I could see him being a good QB that lasts quite awhile in the league even if his running ability was taken away due to injuries. I'm not sure that would be true of Jackson. When compared to Vick, Vick had six really good seasons, that could be what becomes of Jackson too. We shall see. Interesting stat too when looking at all the QB's take in 2018, Jackson and Mayfield were the only two that played more than two full seasons in college. Basically by the end of this season guy's like Darnold and Allen will have played more games in the NFL than they did in college. Jackson and Mayfield will need another full seaosn before that can be said. Wouldn't shock me to realize that makes a much bigger difference than many think.

LOL. why do none of your ridiculous comments on Jackson surprise me? he's on pace for 3600 30 pass td and only 8 int. completing 66% of his passes with a rating of 106..... take away his rushing and those numbers alone are impressive.

ILBillsfan Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I’ll admit that I need to be eating some of that pie had concerns with his accuracy after watching him but man have I been wrong though last year in the playoff San Diego forced him to throw and he was exposed. Ha he has put that to rest imo having an incredible year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris heff Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 (edited) “But, but what about his Wonderlick score? His mom is his agent? What do you mean he didn’t know he was getting a new play book?” What a bunch of nonsense. As is the “system QB” premise. Good coaches build around player’s strengths. Standardized tests are bs. Apparently he wasn’t told Roman (promoted from TE coach) was completely changing the offense. Having an agent as a rookie in today’s NFL is a waste of money, the salaries are slotted, get a lawyer. Lamar Jackson is a good, maybe great QB. Anyone that thought he couldn’t throw didn’t watch him enough. He certainly can run. I’ve never understood why people think having a QB that can run is a bad thing. The reason given is that they will get injured. So you can’t teach a guy to slide or get out of bounds? Lamar and Josh Allen may prove to be the best of that class. They were also the most vilified. Edited November 18, 2019 by chris heff 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 He played very well yesterday. I'm still a little sceptical long term. I think there are still weaknesses there as a passer but he has taken a significant step in that regard from last season. And he does have absolutely the perfect coordinator for him. The real story in Baltimore though is the defense. They were giving up an average of 23 points per game before Marcus Peters arrived. That was forcing the offense out of rhythm at times and forcing Lamar to have to try and do things he is less comfortable with at this stage. Since Peters arrived they have given up an average of 14 points a game despite playing Seattle, Houston and New England in three of those games who are all top 10 scoring offenses. Not taking anything at all away from Lamar. He is doing a really nice job but the Ravens are the epitome of complimentary football at this point. And they are brilliantly coached. To think there were actually fans out there who wanted Harbaugh fired. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 1 hour ago, H2o said: In the same light that I can see the growth in Allen and believe he is a special player, I can no longer deny the fact that Lamar Jackson is a special talent at the QB position either. Yes, he has a great coaching staff from top to bottom that has tailor made the offense around him. Yes, he has a good/great defense to back him up. Yes, he has had some rough patches in the same manner as Josh throwing the ball. But again I watch him yesterday against the Texans and the young man does not disappoint. I keep thinking he will falter, but on the biggest stage he always seems up to the task. He is surely not just another system product ala Kaepernick or Tyrod with Roman at the helm. He can do things on the field that we haven't seen in this league since Michael Vick in his early days with the Falcons and when he is on throwing the ball, he is on. Even on the days he may be off throwing the football he can still beat you with his legs like he did the Seahawks or the Patriots. People keep hyping all of these other match-ups as the next Brady/Manning like Mahomes/Jackson or Watson/Jackson, but I can see the battle being Allen/Jackson for years to come. Hopefully his style of play doesn't lead to injury and it remains to be seen whether this style is also sustainable at this level, but right now he is one of my favorite players to watch in the NFL outside of the Bills every week. I'm going to wait a little longer before I eat that pie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
