Lamar Jackson MAY be a good NFL Qb, but he isn't near ready for the NFL yet. He really needs to refine his throwing and become more accurate. He has tons of talent and potential, but he needs to really focus on becoming a better passer.

Btw he didn't deserve that Heisman Trophy, Watson by far did, he was just having a little slump in the season and that took the trophy from him. If the award was given out after the National Championship, it would of been his no questions asked.

No one that throws sub 60% completion percentage deserves the heisman lol thats embarrassing.

He's 19

Must be doing something right.

15 Heisman Trophy winners have gone undrafted. All it says is that you played well in college, it says nothing about what kind of player you will be in the NFL.

Jackson is a perfect QB for the college game, might be the best gimmick QB ever but he is going to flop in the NFL if he doesnt focus less on being a runner and more as a passer.

If he tries running as much in the NFL as he does in college he will find himself on the injured list in short order.

I agree with you 10000000%...I'd stay away from LJ like the plague in the draft, unless he improves as a passing QB dramatically next year. I can't believe people were comparing him to D. Watson last year. With that said, he's maybe one of, if not THE most gifted athletic QB i've ever seen in college FB and that's crazy to say but he runs like he was shot out of a cannon I mean that kid is ridiculous!! I would SERIOUSLY love to see him convert to RB/WR/return man and become the new "Slash" on steroids (not literally on steroids of course lol)

yep, much better QBs in the 2018 draft that fit Shanahan's scheme better. Darnold (if he comes out), Rosen, and Browning are all great fits

Luke Falk too if he hasnt been concussed playing another year behind his o-line.

God lord one guy is trying so hard to keep this thread afloat lol.

When he actually reads defensives, throws with accuracy, and makes plays on a constant basis then he can be talked about as a real qb...because his play last yr was not that of a NFL caliber qb imo

What exactly is reading defensives? See now you are just making stuff up, LJ can't read it if it doesn't exist!

One guy trying really hard to discredit the work of a 19 year old phenom... j/k

Oh you know going through progressions, playing out of the pocket, not focusing on one read and if that doesn't work run. When he becomes a actual qb then I'll be glad to talk about him

As of right now he's a RB that's allowed to throw the ball.

Love for him to improve as a passer, we will see

He should be lucky he's even that...I got like 5 qbs over him easy.

Same
This guy is a athlete playing the QB position.
Athlete first
QB second

It may work in college, but if he thinks he is going to bring the same style of play he is running now to the NFL...
Oh man

Yup, I could careless how many yards he runs for....been there done that and I'm over it.

Kyle wants a pure passing QB. Someone that can run the play-action, make pre-snap reads and call protections. He wants someone that actually has to scan the whole field. I've have had enough of this read-option BS. Jackson isn't even acturate for a spread offense imo. He's got a TON of work to do.

He wants a Kirk cousins type of QB not a RG3.

I really do think he has the ability to be a pretty good receiver in the NFL if he starts working on his route running right now.
