Exactly. If I had to pick my guess right now I'd lean Jackson. But if Flacco is indeed out I admit it's quite possible they'll go with RGIII for a couple different reasons.
I agree with Steelers overall premise as well. I said earlier I own both Jackson and RG3. I came in for some insight into the matter and he delivered. I just think he needs to edit the sentence or two that is hyperbole and detracts from his otherwise fine posts.
Here is another example. A great post until he arrogantly states it will all be clear next week. Will it? One may get benched for the other and we are back to square one. Statements like these could discredit.
I wasn't trying to be arrogant by stating that it'll be clear next week. If Flacco is set to miss time, I think we'll have a clear picture of the Ravens' intention, but of course things can always change after that. Everyone states opinions sometimes that sound like they're intended as fact and it never really bothers me, thats the nature of a message board because stating "in my opinion" or "i think" before everything would be pretty cumbersome.
If you have children or intend to, not speaking in absolute terms is pure gold. It took someone as opinionated as me a long time to learn it is well worth the extra effort. Good luck today and thanks for the input and response.
Did teams try this in college? It seems simple, but your running de must secure all gaps and your spy has to be a comparable athlete. If not he has shown the ability to extend drives with his wheels. Fantasy points is points.
This can’t be true. All the articles written at the beginning of the season said the opposite.
I don't watch college football, but I cannot believe this is true. If so, the entire front office should be fired for wasting a first round pick on a QB who cannot do what QBs do - throw passes.
You can be a smart ### if you want, it's pretty normal around here. I never said it would definitely happen that way, but there was good reason for those articles and still is plenty of reason to think that Jackson isn't a sure thing to get put into the role immediately. I'm not the only one who's said it, either... Several articles and tweets have mentioned the same possibility in the last couple days.
Oh, there's no denying he's gonna rack of fantasy points for a few games until a smart DC says break out the Vince Young tape so I can remember how to stop a running QB. Dump him on the worst team in your league as soon as he racks up a couple big run games. He'll be gone in 3 years max.
I don’t disagree. I guess it boils down to expectations. I need help with a playoff push in a redraft superflex. Three weeks sounds great to me, but you are spot on about the league and how it resets throughout the season.
You undervalue Jackson. He's not a horrible passer. I watched him in college and he looks like he could develop into a very good NFL QB. I think he could be every bit as good as Deshaun Watson over time and with better legs.

I remember when the smart DCs broke out the game tape in 2006 so they could stop VY. Then he played 4 more seasons and made a Pro Bowl.
Sure, but was it worth you making 17 posts in this thread about during the last 48 hours? I think that is probably the main reason you are getting some snark.
Yeah, it was. Mostly responses during some back and forth. You know, conversations and debate. Sharing opinions. Its a message board, I dont care much about snark. Its been that way on this board for the past 20 years lol.
Jackson had a career completion percentage in college of 57.0%, and his best season was his last, at 59.1%. In the current passing era, say the last 15-20 years or so, have there been any QBs who were sub-60% passers in college who ended up being "very good" NFL QBs?
Their schedule against passing defenses is quite soft: CIN, OAK, at ATL, at KC, TBY, at LAC, CLE
He did that throwing at Wyoming … that's scarier than a college QB throwing in a power conference.
This is a good post and a legitimate question. It's difficult to find a website that will let you search across multiple NCAA seasons. I was able to do a rudimentary search at Sports-Reference.com, and that search (2000-2017 only) included Russell Wilson and Matt Ryan (along with a bunch of scrubs and has-beens).
Jackson's career rate is sub-60%, and he never had a single season where he completed 60%.
Matt Stafford fits the bill.
I agree 100% with this statement.
Completion percentage is an important metric to consider and has been for as long as I have been watching football.Just Win Baby said:
He definitely makes some accurate throws. The questions about his accuracy are really about three things IMO:
In regards to these 3 issues.
I traded for Brady last week--boy was I disappointed I didn't do the extra homework on him. He's going dowhnill. I grabbed Jackson myself, and am hoping to get me Dak tonight as at least a streamer for this week. Would love it if Jackson turns into something.
I'm not sure what your point is. Could you repeat it?
I could, but I won't. Some were receptive to thoughts contrary to their own, some completely disregarded it as old news and paid it no attention at all, like it was crazy to think that might happen because Jackson is just too talented. Ignore me or my posts if you want to, won't bother me.
This is why I brought it up previously, when you posted 17 times in 2 days about it. Discussion is fine and encouraged, but rehashing that many times in a condensed period is unnecessary and bombs the thread.
Several factors to take into consider ( that non locals probably wouldnt know) First Louisville very seldomdumps the ball off to the rb so those easy percentage boosting passes mostly non existing in the Louisville offense, 2nd, Louisvilles receivers were horrid with drops affecting his completion % ans 3rd Louisvilles O line was attrocious and any QB would losesome completions based on being hurried/hit. All in all Lamar throws a great deep ball but does have issues with some of th eintermediate throws.... I certainly wouldnt say he is one of the most polished and accurate QBs Ive seen play but he is no wheres near as innacurate as some would lead you to believe.
That they traded up for to get the year 5 option at #32 overall. I'm leaning this is going to happen.
