Also, do y’all see him as a starting qb in the NFL or will he change positions similar to Denard Robinson

I am about to go on a trip. Should I iron my clothes before I go, or wait until I get there?

depends on suitcase. i find the fold over suitcase holds the crease in my slacks the best:


if duffel or rolling square box. wait until you get there.

He'll go in the first 3 rounds for sure. Wouldn't surprise me to see him go in the first.

I love all these people who are saying no.

Tim Tebow

Johnny Manziel

NFL GM's constantly overvalue these dual threat QB's with big names whether there game translates well or not.

For those two outliers (that didn't work out), you can name a billion other dudes like him who didn't sniff the first round

I believe there is a chance. I think Deshaun Watson's success will have some teams intrigued and it only takes one team to make it happen.

I actually think there's a chance he could be.

I don't think he deserves to be but like someone else said, Manziel/Tebow got picked in the first when they had no business being picked that early. You never know what those GMs are thinking and how desperate they'll become to save their jobs.

I want to see what games you are watching that make you think Watson and Jackson have anywhere near similar playing style or correlation

Were they not both successful dual threat college quarterbacks?

Maybe I'm just imagining things.

Put Jackson behind a top O-line and I think he is the best QB by far. He is inconsistent, but when he is on he throws some of the best passes I've ever seen in college football.

He'll throw a dime 60 yards down the field and then air mail a 7 yard stick route


Guys like that usually don't pan out very well at the next level.

Yes and no. Watson his last year had a 67% completion percentage, while Jackson has a 60.4% completion percentage this year and was at 56% last year. QB's generally don't get more accurate in the NFL

Jackson has more arm strength and likely more athletic than Watson. Teams are going to look at those attributes and can't help but be intrigued as well.

It only takes one team.

Was Blake Sims not a successful dual threat college quarterback?

Does he remind you of Watson?

top 10? almost no chance

back half of the first round? why not

he's going to blow up the combine and a good team may be able to stash him for a few years to develop him
