Bridgewater is not a runner and never has been. Norv Turner tried unsuccessfully to turn him in to one which he was not. RG3 was a run first QB coming out of college that was never asked to read more than half a field and take off after 2 reads max. Jackson only ran on 25% of designed passing plays, meaning he stood in the pocket and tried to make the throws, also note he was asked to make 3 reads often in a pro style offense.This post reeks of racial stereotypes that it seems you threw Manziel in for good measure to point to and say see "nuh uh". Manziel relied heavily on Mike Evans to bail him out in college with jump balls. When you put on the tape you see a guy who could buy time, and often times tried to create chaos on purpose for the splash plays, which is nothing like what Lamar Jackson does.
I don't know if Jackson will be great or not, but lumping him in with "these guys" is a mistake.
Wow.... give a honest critique on a player by naming other players who have the same playing style is now racist.
Can't make this stuff up.
Did you want me to include Tebow? I mean he is also the same player as well. I used Manziel not to point to him and say "nuh uh", I used him because the graph on NFL Network had QBs that threw for 3k and rushed for over 1,500. Their names were Vince Young, Johnny Manziel, DeShaun Watson and Jackson did it back to back.
The "analyst" all agreed that hopefully Jackson has the same career as 1 of these guys.
"Career"? Really? 7 games is NOT a career. Or maybe they were pointing to Young, if so, then pass.
Now to address you pitiful points. Seattle hasn't been the LOB since the 2nd SB appearance, NE has never been a dominant defensive team, and the Titans are divisional foes and stats don't really tell the whole story with those games.
I can lump Jackson in with Young, Watson and Manziel if the NFL uses a comparison sheet with those names on it. Not my fault 3 of the 4 are black. Not my fault that 2 of the 4 are out of the league and that I am not sold on Watson like other people are. I can point to other QBs that have the same playing style that wasn't on the graph that have found themselves sitting on the bench due to injury as in RGIII and Teddy Bridgewater.
To claim this "reeks of racial undertones" will continue to push MORE people away from the NFL, if you can't critique a player without being called a racist.
