That said Vick had a similar run against the Vikings back in the day. It’s pretty obvious the Jackson play is superior by itself, but in context the Vick play was a heart ripper.

El Ramster Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I don’t think so. Maybe because the nfl was different back then. I’m really happy for Lamar but I wouldn’t crown him just yet after one year. Even the big Mitch posted awesome stats one year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are video game numbers. I'm intrigued to see what he does in 2020. If it's more of the same, then he is probably going to make a career of this. If between games 20-30 teams figure him out/the film shows some flaws, I'm going to be interested to see if he can adapt. Vick also only played a full 16 games in a season ONE TIME in his career ('06), and people often forget that. We thought what Mahomes was doing was unsustainable too but look at him this year.

Aren't you the guy constantly belittling players from the older eras and saying that "high school has better athletes these days". But now that someone is saying Lamar is a better athlete than Vick ever was, you're saying that dudes who played in the league in their prime almost 15 years apart are on the same level? Which is it, Rammy? Are athletes evolving or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahomes wasn’t rushing it 10-15 times a game and on pace to rush for 1200-1300 yards. It’s a little different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People thought it was unsustainable but he’s having a pretty good encore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntonChigurh Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Vick was a better thrower of the football by far. But Lamar is far more polished as a passer and has Vick's legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Vick was draft in Lamars draft position and team culture, he'd be putting up even better numbers because he was a better thrower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joru1000 Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Vick had better physical tools, but Lamar Jackson is still the guy I would pick at any point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soko Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 Vick was a better thrower? What? He had a rocket, but lacked pretty much every aspect you want out of a QB until 2010 (even then, he wasn’t that good from a pure quarterbacking perspective). Lamar is a better passer already, just doesn’t have the howitzer. That said, Vick was the better athlete. Not by much, but he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
