Except Jackson comes from the most pro-style offense of almost any QB in this draft.

The dude ran it 35% of their plays --> Jackson rushes 232 vs 430 passing attempts 

In comparison Mariota ran the ball 135 times vs 445 passing attempts (23%) and RGIII ran it 179 times vs 402 passing attempts (31%)

All of the above fall into the read/option category in college and Jackson is more comparable to RGIII as he relies on the run vastly more than the others.

Personally, I really don't mind LJ and would be intrigued if we drafted him BUT i just don't think he fits the Coughlin/Marrone vision.  If he did, I don't think we would have gone with Fournette last season because the 2 styles contrast one another.
