wackywabbit Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 The future has arrived. The next decade will be fun. Shout out to Ozzie "the Wizard" Newsome. Maneuvering through the draft like a boss and getting Jackson at exactly the spot you want him. Locked down for 5 years with plenty of time to play out the present.

drd23 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Quote Overview Evaluating Jackson against the NFL standards for the position will cause him to come up short. However, he has rare speed and athleticism and can single-handedly win games. Jackson's accuracy is clearly spotty and teams must decide the level of accuracy they are willing to live with relative to his ability to create explosive plays. Jackson may need to operate in an offense ready to integrate RPOs (run/pass options) along with heavy play-action. Like Deshaun Watson in 2017, Jackson has the ability to counter mental mistakes and turnovers with a high number of explosive, touchdown-making plays. He has star potential, but his success will rest heavily upon his ability to stay healthy. Strengths Elite playmaker with rare ability to hit home runs with his arm or legs Has experience under center Arm is lively and can spin it Delivery devoid of wasted motion Ball comes out with flick of the wrist reminiscent of Michael Vick Can drive it with velocity Pocket poise and pre-snap plan has improved each year Has improved ability to hold safeties and linebackers with his eyes Feathery deep ball touch off play fakes Requirement of full-time spy lightens coverage numbers Willing to take sack over making haphazard throw Maestro of improv who is Second City worthy Scrambling forces cornerbacks to choose between receiver and potential run support Destroys pursuit angles when he runs Has open field instincts and elusiveness of elite running back Understands when his speed can eliminate a tackler and moves attention to the next level of danger Red-zone juggernaut Tallied 10 rushing touchdowns of over 40 yards in three seasons Weaknesses Carries spindly legs and a thin base Slightly built for punishing hits he takes from pocket and as a runner Must learn to slide Lackadaisical in setup Throws with excessively narrow base and stiff front side Flips it rather than throws it Makes targets work too hard Sails throws that can end up in hands of a safety At times, hesitates to challenge safeties in the seam Low release point leads to tipped passes Typically gets through reads 1 and 2 before halting progressions Pocket awareness has room for improvement Move accuracy on rollouts and scrambles is poor Highly inaccurate with throws on the move throughout the 2017 season Underthrown deep balls allow cornerbacks to play the ball Lacks touch over the heads of middle linebackers into intermediate pockets Turnover total still too high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 5th year option is big for QBs because of home much they need to be paid from their 2nd contract onwards. Given that Flacco will still be the QB for 2018 (or at least most of it), having Lamar locked down on a cost-controlled contract for as long as possible is even more important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
