He's 19 years old...too young to project but you can marvel at his physical ability. If he were in the NFL today he would easily be a top 5 QB in regards to physical talent. Hopefully he learns the position and develops a better game but as a start he's on fire.

After Dak Prescott, I'll never write off any QB's. Not saying that Prescott is Peyton Manning but he showed significant improvement operating from the pocket in a short period of time. Jackson will need a similar level of improvement to be a consistent passer in the NFL.

He needs work, but he also just won the Heisman on raw talent. He can throw the ball, he doesn't just run.
The kid is the real deal, and guess what? There isn't much QB talent out there so he is sitting at the top of the pyramid all by himself. If he slips and goes to a good team with a defense and a running game! GAME OVER
they all had higher completion percentages as well. He's a good college "QB"
Originally posted by NYniner85:You could seem him mature into a pocket passing QB at Miss St though...granted it's only Jackson's 2nd yr as the starting QB, but I haven't seen that in him. I highly doubt he stays 4 yrs to learn about throwing from the pocket as well lol.
Dak, 3 of his 4 seasons completed at least 60% of his passes Jackson hasn't sniffed that yet.
We will see, I sure as hell wouldn't pass on a QB this yr in hopes of landing this kid.

Really? Jacksons leap from freshman to sophomore was astronomical. If he makes the same kind of stride from Soph to junior it's gonna be lights out.
no way do you want your 6-3 200 lb QB doing that, hell Hyde has only had 190 attempts. In fact that would put him 4 among all RBs and that's through 14 weeks. Jackson avg 20 rushing attempts a game, that's not a QB. Originally posted by SheHateMe:

Originally posted by NYniner85:His passing numbers are actually better than D.Kizer who only managed a 58% completion percentage.
Not really from a passing perspective....what he does works in college not in the NFL it's been proven over and over. He has to be better than completing 57% of his passes in a simplistic spread offense.
People hate on someone like Watson but he's completing 68% of his passes.
Jackson ran the ball 234 times this yr
If he wants to be a NFL QB he's got to learn to make progression and good reads from inside the pocket because I didn't see much of that.

He completed 57% of his throws in a QB friendly offense. Go look at the list of successful NFL QB's who completed under 60% of their passes in college.
He showed little consistency in ball placement and overall accuracy. If you can't be accurate throwing into huge college passing windows, what happens in the NFL when they shrink tremendously?
He can run for 3,000 yards in college, at the next level, defenses will key on shutting that down, even if he gets his yards on the ground, teams will make him pay for those yards.
