When you look at Lamar Jackson, he looks brittle. NFL.com lists him at 6'3" and 200 lbs. So the same weight as Vick, but 3 inches taller.
I'd feel much better if he were 220, but that's a lot of bulk to add. Even if by some miracle he could add that much weight, would he lose some speed?

Lamar Jackson Combine measurables were same as Dalton- 6'2 216 lbs
I'm not a fan of the dual threat QBs because they are more likely to get injured. It's less about size and more about attacking the line of scrimmage taking hits like a runner. Newton is huge and he deals with things like twisted ankles, bruised ribs, and concussions. And before anyone says it yes other QBs get injured but it's a player who attacks the defense as a runner is more likely to be injured.
