NFL: Minions and Dolts Continue to Disrespect Lamar Jackson

Yawn, we’ve been down this road every time a “running” quarterback enters the league.

Lots of QBs are good in college and less successful in the NFL. White ones too.

I would if there ever was one. Off the top of my head Steve Young was the closest. Tebow as well but he sucked.

All you have to look at is college.

Lamar Jackson completed 57% of his passes in college.  His best year (his junior year), he completed 59.1%.

RGIII completed 67.1% of his passes in college.  His completion rate was better than Jackson's every year he played:  59.9%, 65.2%, 67.0%, and 72.4%.

DeShaun Watson completed 67.4% of his passes in college.  All three years of college, he completed passes at that level (67.9%, 67.8%, and 67.0%).

The only successful starting quarterback today who is anywhere near Jackson's completion percentage in college is Matt Stafford, who finished his career at 57.1%.  His last year, however, he was above 60% (61.4%), and he was much more the prototypical quarterback who wasn't dinking and dunking like Jackson did.

There's no way that Jackson is going to come to the NFL and improve his accuracy to Griffin and Watson levels.  Stafford is having his best completion percentage year ever at 66.3% - - but he's doing it by having a yards per attempt of 7.08 - - 1/100ths better than Blake Bortles and 7/100ths better than Brock Osweiler (the quarterbacks playing tonight are at 9.44 and 9.13).

I did forget about Trubisky, but again, let’s see how long he stays healthy.

Don’t try to argue facts with the frog man. He knows all.

This kid is something special folks
