TigerJ Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 Unfortunately, he's not available this season, but Buffalo could draft Lamar Jackson next April. He is a 6'3" cornerback from (I believe) Nebraska. He would have similar size and athleticism.

Maybe he doesn’t even have hands? But he can be on an NFL roster every week playing the role of Lamar Jackson for that week’s opponent! Are you suggesting that Lamar Jackson can't play a lick of football, since a guy who can't play a lick of football would simulate him? Given that LJax guy is QB'ing the league's leading offense at this point, if you are suggesting that, it would be hysterically....nah, it would just be stupid.

Jobot Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 You can either simulate his speed or his size/strength, but not both. 1

He is physically gifted. Is that what you mean? More so just in comparison to Foster - to me, Jackson would seem to be the more physical runner, and have better change of direction ability. As such, Foster wouldn't be an accurate simulation at all in that case, but who knows.

If he could play football too, he’d be Lamar Jackson. There’s only one of them! I’m just talking about a way to get ready for his speed and agility....like Rocky chasing the chicken!
BillsFan4 Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Motor maybe? He’s definitely elusive and knows how to find a lane. 5 minutes ago, Billzgobowlin said: Andre Roberts is what comes to my mind That’s a good one. 1
billsbackto81 Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Andre Roberts. Not only is he fast but also a Top return man. He knows how to weave between blockers which is what you need if you're going to simulate Jackson. 1

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Trade Seattle for T Jax, and then we can promptly trade him back next year.

B) His running style is completely different from Jackson just as Allen's running style is different than either Kap or LJ. LJ is a very tough guy to stimulate or simulate. There's never really been a QB THAT "elusive." Vick was faster, but even he wasn't quite as elusive. I'd prefer to NOT see McKenzie, Foster, or anyone on the active roster taking the time to do this because I don't think it would be all that productive. Much rather see their practice time dedicated to the offensive game plan. If Andre Roberts were super elusive or we had a super athletic guy stashed on the PS, it would be worth a shot. We'll see what happens, but just watch the tape and formulate a game plan. Anything else seems like a waste of time. Edited December 3, 2019 by LSHMEAB

Mango Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Honestly, what would the cost be to get Vick in the building for a week on the PS...or does his retirement prevent that? Somebody said, he won't play a game, so wouldn't count towards the cap. Can we sign and cut Vick from the PS for $100k? Hell Vick could make a career of it. Practice squad to practice squad, $100k a pop, $1.6M on the year, just to pretend to play football. Vick was electric, but LJ is looking like he might be much better. Outside of maybe RG3 (who is also with BAL), I am not sure if anybody else would come close to similar ability or insight into playing style of Lamar.
Robert James Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Duke Williams. Very close in height and weight, fast and elusive. Plus, he isn't doing anything else right now.

They're both dual threat QBs, the resemblance ends there. Holding the clipboard for Phil Rivers If you believe reports, he is one bad pick away from replacing Rivers.
