ORIGINAL: ronhextall Lamar’s game log in December is noticeably empty the past two seasons. So is our trophy case. I doubt Lamar’s backup QB would fill it. That wasn't the point. The point was that what we've BEEN doing, hasn't amounted to jack shit. That said, please remember I'm not in favor of going after Lamar. Well, What Lamars BEEN doing these past four years hasn't amounted to jack shit either. Anyone who says they believe Jackson is an accurate passer has an agenda they are trying to push. He is average at best (passing accuracy). Does he have some dynamics to his game? Yes, he does, but those same dynamics are the ones that have QB's like him, out of the league quickly, (in a relative comparison to QB's that don't run the ball so much.) Yes, it offers up another dynamic that the opposition has to prepare for, but not an impossible task. It has been my observation that running QB's deteriorate much faster than pocket type guys. I want a QB that CAN run when needed, Mahomes, Allen, Hurst, a few others come to mind. I don't want an average arm talent guy that we design run plays for just to throw off the defense. Just my preference, I don't pay $50 million a year for that type of QB. Says: anyone who believes Jackson is an accurate passer has an agenda. In the very next sentence says: he is average in accuracy. I worked around some people a few years ago (gee Rick, arent you going to tell them what you did? ah, no - probably get criticized) and we would discuss/argue/debate something and I'd go, "That's a great idea for a t-shirt. One of my favorites: Average Sucks! Only one I made: Negativity Sucks! I wasn't trying to offend anyone with my post, only pointing out that Jackson isn't an elite tier QB, good run skills, average in passing accuracy. If I'm giving a couple of first round picks for a QB, he needs to be upper tier passing accuracy. When I said "agenda", I meant that many folks on this thread really dislike Cousins and will take anyone over him, Jackson included. I would never take Jackson over Cousins, they have a different set of skills, Cousins has more of the skills I'd like in my franchise QB. Am I happy with everything about Cousins, nope, if we can find a better replacement for him, lets do it!
