Better passer IMO. Jackson is probably more agile

Everyone knows Lamar is fast. JD5 is deceptively quick. The way he accelerates away from some DBs is unbelievable for a QB.

people keep saying Daniels is deceptively fast, but idk

he turns it in gear and that guy fricking flies. nothing deceptive about how he routinely gets the edge on defenders and then splits guys downfield

I think he is more accurate but not as strong of an arm. JD also relies more on his Straightline acceleration while Lamar is shiftier.

I think JD could have similar NFL success if he gets the right OC.

For example, Pete Carmichael could make Mahomes look average while Shanahan is making Purdy look great.

Lamar is bigger and harder to take down. I think probably a bit faster too, which is hard to believe, but he burns past CBs in the NFL. Jayden is similar in skillset though.

JD has a great ability to feel pressure and run away from it. This causes me to sit up every time. It has to be frustrating for defensive players to think they're finally gonna get him, then they don't.

At this point, I think he is a better passer than was Jackson in college, maybe a lot better.

Tyrod Taylor is best comparison in my mind. Been in the league forever.

Whether or not he is
better than LJ was at this point in his career is an open question...but Lamar Jackson is a great comp for who JD reminds me of in playing style.

This season for JD as a passer is on a higher level than any of Lamar's college seasons. But JD also has better weapons to throw to and a better OL than Lamar did.
Lamar is a more natural runner. More elusive and more physically filled out.
JD has done more to extend runs this season. He has taken some hits, but also racked up a lot of yards. Last season he'd just kind of take it if it was there on a run, and often made it look easy. I think it's probably better for him to avoid hits when he can.
I think Lamar is better throwing on the run, and finding a pass play on the run while eluding pressure. He also changes arm angles for different throws at times.
Overall, I think JD is more accurate.

Better at this stage in his game. Daniel’s has two years against much better opposition than Jackson.

He's not as big, but his running style reminds me more of Vince Young than Lamar Jackson

Jackson will never be the passer that JD5 is.

Wasn’t JD clocked at 21 mph this offseason?
