You don't rank top 20 in the NCAA in completion percentage if you are poor at throwing short passes and as for him being slow processing information, I just flat out don't believe that. That's not what I saw and the stats tell me that he was quick finding open receivers, didn't turn the ball over and made big plays. I know you're a big Lamar Jackson fan, but we'll never agree on him either. I see a very raw passer who is quick to take off running before he gets through his progessions and despite gaining a little weight, he still has a rail thin body that wouldn't survive the punishment of an NFL schedule at QB, as much as he runs. I watched Kiper and McShay last week and both suggested that if Jackson comes out, NFL teams will demand he also work out as a WR as well, because that's where they see him playing in the NFL.

Of course you can. You can see it in his play by how much Ateman and Washington have to adjust to his passes too.  

And look at him trying to play out of structure and when his first read breaks down. He doesn't process quickly and it leads to bad sacks and  missed plays. 

You need to watch more videos on Lamar or learn what you're watching. He'll be playing QB on Sunday. Don't just blindly follow what Kiper and McShay tell you. They're wrong more often than not. Here's a 30 minute video by Matt Waldman on Lamar Jackson's poise in the pocket.

Again, I'll go by what my eyes tell me and nothing else. I see Rudolph hitting Washington, Ateman, Stoner, Abbott, Johnson and Lacey in stride on almost every pass. I don't see consistent adjustment to his passes at all. As for sacks, the Cowboys allowed 25 sacks last season and that ranked 67th out of 130 teams. Much of those sacks came early in the year when Oklahoma State was missing their two best O-Linemen, Center Brad Lunblade and RT Zach Crabtree. 


As for Jackson, I do go by what my eyes tell me. I was simply using what Kiper and McShay said to back up what I had been observing all year. I wasn't agreeing with them, they were stating what I had said for months. We could argue about these two guys for eternity, but instead, I chose to agree to disagree and move on with other prospects.
