I'll admit I don't follow college players much, but are the accuracy concerns he get nothing but hot takes from box score experts, or...? Expand Jackson? Yeah, in contrast to what's said about all Allen's drops, he had one of the lower drop percents among the "top QB candidates". As I recall, Jackson is highest with 12% (38) and Rosen second with 11% (31) On 3/1/2018 at 2:46 AM, arcane said: I've watched him a few times and his touch/placement is not there. Even in the highlight clips his open-by-an-acre receivers are adjusting and slowing and veering to get under his throws. I've seen them downright halt in their routes before. It's bad and since accuracy can't be taught, I stay far away from Lamar (and Allen). Expand When you say "you've watched him", do you mean you've been to live games? Because I've been watching quite a bit of game film and scouting (not highlight clips) and I don't see this at all. 1

Lamar Jackson in the shotgun (because that's all he knows) with 3 receivers split wide. Here's the snap. Pressure coming right away up the middle! Lamar Jackson rolls out, he's going to take off! Jackson is at the 35, the 40, looking to get out of bounds and OH! Lamar Jackson got hit low by the safety and he is down and clutching at his knee. This is not looking good for the 21st overall pick right now. Expand Tell the truth: you haven't actually watched much film of his play this year, have you? 1 1

I think his size will be a factor at times but not enough to impeed his success Expand I hope his lack of stature drops him to a point where we can get him without trading away our draft for him. But if we have to drop our two firsts and a bit more, I really really think he's worth it. We'll rue the draft day we don't make a move for him; I really believe that.
JinxedBill1 Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 I think Beane is being a good GM and doing his diligence in everyone. That being said, stop comparing people to Watson who, might I remind you, played all of what, 6 games? I think Watson has a bright future and is ahead of Jackson but I think the sample size is too small to say Watson has made it yet. Promising, yes.

Essentially, whenever you do comparisons, you want to be sure it's apples to apples. Expand This has been done in other threads. Jackson has more drops than the others so he compares more favorably. I believe Darnold and Allen were not looking good after that analysis. On the Kap versus Jackson debate. Kap came out of Nevada. WAC is nothing close to the ACC. Also he played 4 years. His per year stats are not as good compared to Lamar and that’s including his senior year that really elevated his line. I will say 34 you are consistent in using off the field items in your analysis but I don’t understand how a business degree equates to success on the field.
Logic Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 As time goes on, I warm up more and more to the idea of staying put at 21 and drafting Lamar Jackson. If the Bills aren't going to trade up to the top 5 for a Rosen or a Mayfield, then I hope they take Jackson. Daboll can design an offense that will fit both Tyrod and Jackson's skillset. Tyrod -- who is already under contract for a reasonable amount and is a leader in the locker room and can get you to the playoffs -- starts until Jackson is good enough to take the job from him. Yes, I realize the worst case scenario with Jackson is that he's a total bust and can't play quarterback in the NFL. But heck, that's the risk with ALL these guys, and they don't have even half of Jackson's pure athletic ability and upside. If you're not going all out for a top 3 QB, stay put and take Jackson.

I want Baker badly, but I'm a Sooners fan, so probably alot of homerism on my part. But I saw every game Baker played for OU, ever snap, and there's not a bigger competitor, at any position, on any team, in college football. AND, Baker is crazy accurate, and crazy-good in making something out of nothing! Expand I started out being skeptical and came away convinced. My first choice is Rosen but I would be pleased to land Baker.

Donovan McNabb, Cam Newton, Tyrod Taylor," McDermott said. "I'm familiar with what comes with those style of quarterback, both the positives and some of the drawbacks of that style probably more than most coaches in this case. I'm in a pretty good position in terms of the familiarity with that." At this point, it's safe to say the Bills view Jackson as a quarterback. As they should. "At the end of the day, this guy has played the position and played it at a high level in college," McDermott said. Expand Edited March 1, 2018 by PIZ

I guess you could say that about JT Barrett too. Expand JT Barrett is not on the same hemisphere as Lamar Jackson.. I don't know if Jackson will pan out but Barrett could only dream of having Jackson's talent.
