He was totally unintelligible. But a professor of speech therapy saw it, called him with a diagnosis of what he heard and offered to work with him. The next time there was a TV interview the following season he was a changed speaker. The 13 INTs, 2 Fum Rec. that season should have put the 5 time pro-bowler in he HOF. He' still waiting. yeah, I just can't remember what year that was... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD_Tom Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 The guy is such a freak athlete. I'm sure he'll start making highlight reels soon enough. Seems like he's got his head on straight, and he works hard. Didn't really matter what team he went to because I knew he wasn't going to the Browns. I'd simply like to see him do well. He's one of the most exciting players I've ever seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was glad to see him leave college, as he tortured my Seminoles for far too long, but I was NOT happy to see him come to our division. I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure we'll see him this season with his own small package of plays. And when they get near the goal line, I fully expect he'll be in the game.

I saw Lamar Jackson play alot in college, and yes he is a great runner, yes, he is a great athlete, however, he isn't a great QB, I think the Ravens drafted him for ticket sales versus ability. After all the Ravens valued him so much they drafted Hayden Hurst just 7 picks ahead of him. So 32 teams basically didn't grade him that high. I watch him play, he has problems under pressure, he has accuracy issues I am glad the Ravens because he has bust written all over him. He could prove me wrong, but I doubt it.

The Ravens have zero problems selling tickets. They drafted Jackson to be their eventual franchise QB. I don't think it was a wise move, but that's why they drafted him.

Can the college guys learn how to play the professional quarterback game and everything else that goes with it or not regardless of where they are drafted.

WSS Now that is generally true, if you have a high pick and like a quarterback....and need one, I guess you go for a top pick. This year Mayfield wasn't most people's top quarterback or #1 pick but I don't think it was a blue ribbon class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't play it's a push. If he gets 2 out of 4 on the following list I win. Lamar will be one of the top 3 passers in this rookie class. (Adjusted for playing time) He will win atleast half of the games he starts. He will complete atleast 60% of his passes with a 2:1 td/int ratio. He will take the ravens to the playoffs. Outside of the completion percentage I nailed this. I was nervous about these predictions because I was pretty much the only one on team Jackson. I'm not so crazy after all huh?

If he went to any other team I wouldnt have been that high on him but he had Greg Roman on his side. Hes made careers for Kapernick, Tyrod, and salvaged Alex Smith.

He's a very good halfback, and throws the ball at least as good as Jarvis Landry. Jackson has avoided taking a kill shot- so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're backups that require cutting down your offense in ways that make it ineffective (at best) at times. Smith's time in KC showed he didn't rescue shit. Just brought ball control and identity to the Niners at that point. You're still essentially making the connection you wanted Lamar and Roman here because you wanted to emulate Kaep. As the NFL showed, it'll catch up to you while costing you your QB. I'll be back to bump your thread when Lamar starts missing open passes from the added punishment, has rush lanes closed on him and in general has issues being red zone effective. Pray the Ravens don't play NE in Foxboro.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was attacking this offseason by trying to change the culture. I liked Baker and had him as our best option, but I didn't see a rookie QB turning around the browns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"There are no old running quarterbacks in the NFL". Didn't say he wasn't a good (make that great) runner. More on that later. Looking at his passing stats- he's remarkably similar to- gasp! Jeff Driskel!!! Yards, td\int & ratio, QBR. For kicks and giggles, I took his 695 yards rushing in seven games (that's already 27th in the NFL) and projected it out to a 16 game season. = 1588 yards. More than Elliot, Barkley and Gurley put up in 2018. Just sayin' that's a recipe for an injury waiting to happen. I'll side with tia, and say the over\under on an major injury is 32 games, and I'll take the under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louisville Slugger Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 I agree he has alot of work to do as a passer and he can't run this much every year, but he has only used a playbook for 4 years now. There is no reason to think in a year or 2 he can't run that offense as well kapernick did and he was completing 70% of his passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SD_Tom Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Jackson played in a solid offense at Louisville. This has been discussed before. Your don't rack up 2 seasons of great #s against solid teams by being lucky. He out gained Vicks total VT career stats in one season. Ravens are a problem for many. Deal with it. He's almost impossible to defend. He's still green, and he'll get much better. Upside is like watson. Just needs to keep focused. If not for some mahomes magic, he'd be undefeated as a starter I don't think he's missed any games yet. Vick told him to put about 20 lbs on... And he did. He was running less and less at Louisville each year too. Doesn't get hit that hard in any game I've seen, but he pops up like he's made of rubber when it happens Vick told him to put about 20 lbs in the off season and he did. He's a freak level athlete back there. There is no qb like him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
