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.
Buddy,, the Louisville offense uses more pro style concepts in the passing game than both the Sooners and the cowboys. The timing routes they use with Lamar the pocket are pretty similar to what you see on a Sunday where as the other too are more simplistic college style. On a play to play basis Lamar has to make more advanced reads and has to use his IQ at a higher level than both of the other two QBs.
Does he run alot? Yes of course he does. He's arguably the best talent we've seen at QB since Cam. You'd be crazy not to run with him in college. Notice how often he keeps his head up while doing so though and notice how often he escapes without taking a hit clean.
Jamesis Winston came from an advanced passing scheme with Jimbo Fisher. Much much closer to and NFL scheme than any of them mentioned. Derek Carr played at an air raid scheme. Carson Wentz took snaps under center but was basic enough.
I don't really care about the scheme as long as they have the traits. I like Mayfield and Rudolph. It's just intellectually dishonest to say that Lamar won't make it in the NFL because of his scheme.
