There is no “majority” of these guys because generally they don’t exist. Not with these physical attributes.

Vick last 13 years and even went to jail for 2 years. I mean who really knows. He waa smaller than Jackson

By "majority" I meant athlete QBs with shitty completion Pctgs.

Seems to be a popular mock, but its simply because the Saints need to start thinking QB and that's around where LJ could go.



I'd be shocked if he goes that high.

59% isn't bad especially when you factor in 33 dropped balls. It easily could have been mid 60's. Unrealistically they catch every ball, that'd put him in the upper 60's.

He has back to back 1500 yard years on the ground. With another 40 TDs rushing. Like Cam and Vick did, their rushing ability makes up for some of their passing deficiencies.

Accuracy is the best measuring stick for future success.

With more simplified spread offenses in college now completion % lie for a lot QBs.

I know but I really hope this doesn’t happen.

Last year we’re coming off a 3rd straight 7-9 season. This season we were one play away from playing in the NFC CG. We need to continue to build the team up for a championship run right now. Especially since we don’t have a 2nd round pick and aren’t likely to sigh any other big name FAs.

LSU destroyed him in the bowl game. If he can't handle a SEC defense how will he handle the NFL?

They do. It’s pretty depressing. I mean Lamar may fail but it won’t be cause of his performance in LSU game.

Say what you want guys but he laid an egg last year in the bowl and again this year against Misssiipi St. Look at the stats.

Not sure why we would to waste a pick on this guy, at least an early one.

Mahomes is extremely athletic. But, it was his arm talent that shot him up the boards last year.

Lamar Jackson doesn't have that kind of arm talent.

he has some short arm action but that helps with the quick release. He has a great arm and his downfield comp% improved tremendously from last year. There are rumours he can throw it 85 yards in the air

Russ Wilson was a 4 year college guy
55% 275 attempts
59% 378 attempts
58% 527 attempts
then jumped to 73% in 309 attempts his senior year after the transfer

Lam Jackson played 3 years and showed improvement each season, from a 1.5% jump to a 2.9% jump. Who knew what his SR year would bring? That improvement is a good sign to me
