Dude...Petrinos offense in the passing game is closer to whats used in the pros than Rudolph's , Mayfields , Darnolds etc etc.

JagsFanJay once again showing he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.

JackCity, I take it you are addressing me, since you quoted my post. You're clueless. Rudolph, Mayfield and Darnold offenses are balanced and they make all the types of throws an NFL QB would make. Lamar Jackson is the entire Louisville offense. I don't even know why they bother keeping RB's on the roster, when Jackson runs the ball more than anyone else on the team. That's not what NFL QB's do. He takes off and runs if a defender gets within 7 yards of him. That won't get it in the NFL.

You're missing the forest for the trees. If we are talking from a pure passing standpoint , Lamar makes more difficult throws than than the rest of those guys and is asked to do more from his scheme. 
I get that you don't like running QBs or white running backs for various reasons but the criteria you are using doesn't make sense at all. There isn't a hope in hell Lamar is ran that much in the NFL. His ability to run breaks defensive schemes so your still going to give him the keys to do it if needs be.  He's an adept in the pocket based on everything we have seen so far and is more advanced mentally than any other QB in the class. That's what you should judge him on imo. He has the arm, brain and legs to be a super star. Look at the traits they possess instead of how much they run in college.
