You are aware that Rudolphs passing scheme is less advanced than Jacksons right? Jacksons passing offense is pretty similar to the one we saw the Chiefs use against the Pats. He's probably the most advanced QB in this class in terms of playing eye games with safeties. He's a more advanced passer mentally than everyone in the class at this point.

The QB's go by the system they are in while playing college ball. That's the system they run, they have no say in the matter. Call it a less advanced scheme or whatever, but the Cowboys and Sooners' schemes looks way more like an NFL offense than Louisville. The offense is balanced between the run and the pass, the QB sits in the pocket and only runs when flushed, there are crossing patterns, bubble screens, screen passes, fades, deep throws, two minute drills and pretty much anything else you'd see in the NFL. Yes, they work exclusively out of the shotgun, but nowadays the vast majority of teams do the same thing in college. Learning to take the ball directly from Center is something they work on from day 1, when they college season ends and the draft preparation begins. Looking at Louisville's offense, there is no offense in the NFL that looks remotely like it. No NFL team uses nearly that many designed QB runs per game. Nothing close to it. The most recent successful QB's like Carson Wentz, Jameis Winston, Derek Carr and a few others came from offenses that resembled what Oklahoma and Oklahoma State looked like as opposed to Louisville.
