Texans host private workout for Lousville QB Lamar Jackson

WRONG. YOU SAID HE LITERALLY COULDN'T THROW AT ALL when he got here. So YOU are suggesting it happened in a few weeeks.[/QUOTE]

 

Ah, that's where you fail to follow along. You think that when I say that Watson had terrible mechanics which prevented him from throwing the ball properly that I am saying he had no talent. That couldn't be further from the truth. Watson absolutely had talent, and no one denied that, he just didn't know how to throw a ball properly. Some QB's never learn how to throw the ball properly and their talent goes to waste, that wasn't the case with Watson. He had one hell of a turnaround and went from a guy who couldn't make NFL level accurate passes beyond a few yards in pre-season to a guy where those bad passes only happened a handful of times per game.

Perhaps that'll help you follow along in this conversation better.

 

I said he didn't know how to throw the ball properly, he obviously could LITERALLY throw a football, it just wasn't accurate beyond a few yards because the mechanics and footwork were all assed up. He actually did a better job throwing the ball on the run in the preseason because while running, his footwork was better than it was when he tried to throw from the pocket. It was always mechanics and footwork....and I said so.

 

You obviously are not a QB guru stop trying to BS everyone with your babble on mechanics and footwork. EVERY young QB has to work on consistency. Plus NO QB throws with perfect mechanics on every throw anyway, it's a myth. The NFL is can you get the ball to your receivers on time and on target in the structure of a rhythm passing game. And every QB does it a little differently. You were WRONG about the kid period.

 

Ah yes, me "fooling people" with exactly what happened....You are doing amazing, keep it up.

 

Your post history doesn't lie my friend. It's a dead issue in my book. You were WRONG. Move on.

 

Sorry kiddo, but I was clearly right, and I proved it to you. Again, I'm not sure what part of it you fail to comprehend.

 

Haha you are in quite the pickle.. Either admit you were wrong and Watson could always throw, or admit that BOB was a good coach and made Watson better. But no, you found a 3rd door, as usual, and go with SEAN RYAN. Who did NOTHING with any of our other quarterbacks...

 

LOL am I now? The "3rd door" known as reality pretty much prevents ME from being in a pickle, but it is funny to watch you squirm.

 

Haha I’m not the one who said it’s fun to watch you squirm. I just thought it was funny that this was a pretty good (either Watson or Obrien was good) kinda moment but you threw me for a loop with the Sean Ryan.

 

If we do draft him #TradeBait

 

Well that's who is largely credited with it, BOB was focused on getting his guy Savage ready to go.

 

An AFC personnel executive said that Louisville QB Lamar Jackson "struggled on the board" when his team met with the quarterback at the NFL Scouting Combine.

"You love the talent, but I don't know if he can handle some of the complex scheming and communication that's a part of the job," the executive said. That exec was just one NFL staffer whom NFL Media's Daniel Jeremiah asked about Jackson. Some of the other answers he received were considerably more charitable. One AFC college scouting director noted that the 6-foot-2, 216-pound Jackson is the real-life equivalent of a player created in a video game lab, while an NFC offensive coordinator said that if properly coached, "you could have a superstar on your hands." Splitting the middle between all these assessments, an AFC quarterbacks coach views the former Heisman winner as the definition of a project, saying, "Maybe he could play early as part of a package or as a returner, but I think he will struggle as a pure quarterback to start." Jackson could potentially push to the middle of Day 1 if the board breaks right.

"I would love to work with him because it's hard to find quarterbacks with that kind of natural talent. Sure, he needs to work on some things, but if you get him right, you could have a superstar on your hands." -- NFC offensive coordinator

"He's a long ways away. He will make a few splash plays because of his athletic talent, but he's not ready to handle the mental stuff like protections and 'check-with-me' calls. Maybe he could play early as part of a package or as a returner, but I think he will struggle as a pure quarterback to start." -- AFC quarterback coach

"He's a 'create-a-player' on a video game. You just don't find quarterbacks with that kind of speed, athleticism, and arm talent. If you're willing to build an offense around his game, you could unleash a monster on the league." -- AFC college scouting director

"He hasn't helped himself this offseason. He struggled on the board in our meetings with him at the (NFL Scouting) Combine. You love the talent, but I don't know if he can handle some of the complex scheming and communication that's a part of the job." -- AFC personnel executive

"The athleticism is off the charts. Big arm, outstanding speed, quickness, and burst. You would like to see more consistency from the pocket, but that can be cleaned up with some work on his footwork and mechanics. Durability would be my main concern if he continues to run around like he did in college." -- AFC scout

______

In a perfect world, the Seattle Seahawks, Carolina Panthers or Houston Texans would target Jackson as a QB2 to develop behind their established starters. Those teams would add another dual-threat playmaker to the roster to keep the offense flowing when the starter went down. Coaches wouldn't need to make major changes to their playbook to accommodate Jackson's talents because the game plans are already designed with a dual-threat quarterback in mind.

As a returner? Give me a break

 

Why is that I wonder.

 

That's weird. Teams are having trouble getting workouts with Jackson........after he has worked out privately with the Texans????
