Lamar also has a canon for an arm. It has not always been accurate, but he has one the stronger arms in the NFL.


He’s won nothing. This “cannon arm” shite is silly. Accuracy is what matters. How often is it the strongest arm in the nfl winning super bowls. It just needs to be strong enough. Other factors are much more important. Some of the stuff being spewed about lamar Jackson is hilarious. He’s not Paul fricking Bunion.

Lamar is an average passer at best. Long balls are terrible. JD5 a couple cuts above LJ in passing. To me that's the only issue to discuss. Running game is a push. Both elite.

No, Jayden will always be thin but he’s very flexible so it’s tough to put a hard hit on him without completely using illegal means like Dallas Turner did. You will never be able to convince me he wasn’t told to go take Jayden out by the coaches or maybe Saban himself. They saw they couldn’t stop him and had no answer except take him out by any means necessary.

Lamar was 216 lbs at the combine. Jayden is probably 195 tops. Lamar was/is definitely thicker.


Jayden is listed as 6'4" 210 at the beginning of the season. He will bulk up a bit more before the combine as well.

Lamar was listed as 6'3" 211 on the Louisville roster

Comparing what LJ does in the NFL compared to what JD5 did in one collegiate season is silly.


Yeah, it's not like Jayden had a CAREER passer rating that was higher than Lamar Jackson's passer rating was the year he won the Heisman Trophy.

....oh wait.

If you think Jayden is really 210 then i’ve got oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you CHEAP! More like 190 lbs.

I guess what I'm saying is that colleges fudge their players sizes on their rosters. So both Louisville and LSU most likely fudged the numbers yet they were comparable

Daniels won't be expected to run as much and take hits. He's fast enough to make plays with his feet outside the pocket by throwing on the run and using the sidelines to protect himself from excessive contact. He'll be fine.

Yes just like Mekhi Wingo. They have him listed at 6’1” 295 lbs i believe and in reality he’s more like 5’11” 285 but he uses his low center of gravity so well that he makes up for his lack of size by getting underneath the OL’s pads. Like Pete Jenkins drills into his player’s heads, low man always wins.

I would think that is strongly implied since JD has not played an NFL down.

The literal name of the subject is "Watching Lamar Jackson play compared to JD5". And Lamar was playing a game in real time when this was posted. So I think that's quite a stretch to say that there was any implication there other than the OP was watching the odds on NFL MVP playing on the road against the best defense on the NFL and saying that JD5 is more accurate.

Accuracy is accuracy; it doesn't matter whether you are in the NFL or college.

You don't think that the speed of the game or the amount of time you have to throw the ball might affect a QB's accuracy?
