It's funny that he scored lower on passing accuracy than the non-quarterbacks who were playing.

I dont get this mentality of "lets bash every other QB whos not Mahomes" ?
LJ isnt Mahomes, but hes an exciting young talent that deserves praise as well. |
In the "beat a defensive back" competition, quarterbacks are supposed to throw the ball past defensive backs into a group of small to large holes on a 10' x 15' wall, from a distance of perhaps 20 yards. Four of Jackson's first six throws missed the wall entirely.

It's just hard to watch non-Mahomian quarterbacks now that we know what a real quarterback is. |

I don't have a problem with him, but I do have a problem with anyone in the media who wants to say he's "the same" as Mahomes. This statement applies with Deshaun Watson too. Lot of very lazy people in the media. All 3 of these guys are damn good football players, but one of them is a phenomenal passer and the others are not. |

Yes that is obvious to everybody. I think Lamar Jackson is now in the stage of beginning to be figured out. Obviously the Titans did a good job. That's the blueprint. Get ahead, get them down, run the heck out of the ball and make him throw to come back. I don't think he can do it. He is more of a running QB. In their 14 - 2 they were very often ahead. They got big leads and ran that read option.
With Mahomes there really isn't much to figure out. Just enormous talent there. Can throw darts from inside the pocket, outside the pocket, can scramble and buy time, scramble for yardage, plenty big and strong enough, rocket arm, extremely accurate, reads the field well, makes good decisions. He's just excellent. Anybody who watches the game can see he is better than Lamar Jackson. Lamar is RG3. Eventually RG3 got figured out and also took too many hits and got injured. You are going to see the same progression with Lamar Jackson. |
I think Patrick Mahomes is so gifted that if he is the QB of your team, you should not waste time with threads hating on other gifted players.
I think leading the league with 36 TDs with only 6 INTs and setting an NFL record for rushing yards by a QB is more material to evaluating Lamar Jackson than a gimmick skills contest. The gimmick skills contest is like a pro day. Lamar Jackson did not ace his pro day, Mitch Trubisky and Josh Rosen aced their pro days. BFD |

He's one of the 5 worst throwing quarterbacks in the sport. If I needed someone to make an accurate pass with my life in the line of COURSE I'd skip Jackson and take Ma......tt Moore. Or Henne. Or Chase Daniel. Or another dozen backups in this league and evidently at least two wide receivers. I don't need to shit on Lamar Jackson to build up Mahomes any more than I need to shit on Todd Blackledge to support Len Dawson or you to prove how awesome Rainman is. Rivals need to be in the same general tier of each other and these guys shouldn't even be playing the same position. Lamar Jackson sucks and will never win shit in this league. |

I'm not sure he should have competed in the Precision Passing Contest. It isn't fair to embarrass him like that. Precision Passing isn't his game.
In Mexico, they don't allow you to match your fighting squirrel against a pit bull. Even the most fierce and savage of fighting squirrels aren't ready for that level of competition. And if it's good enough for Mexico, it should be good enough for the Pro Bowl. FAX |
