The facts will surprise you.

I just looked at the top 10 QBs in completion percentage from 2016.

8 of 10 have a higher NFL completion percentage than college.

It's okay that what I was saying went completely over your head.

No you made a completely lazy comparison to make your point and reject any facts he brought up to go against it

Yes, they are both successful dual threat college QB's.

No, they aren't similar because Watson was far more accurate as a pocket passer.

Glad I could spell that out for you

I didn't mention anywhere about comparing their skill set or completion percentage. You answered a phantom question.

I'm glad you can read.

back half of the first round? why not

he's going to blow up the combine and a good team may be able to stash him for a few years to develop him

Petrino tend to make his QBs better than they actually are.

He got Tyler Wilson drafted in the 4th. Mallet now a backup. Brandon Allen cut by Jax. Brian Brohm, heisman candidate but only 2 years in nfl.

I think he'll blow up the combine and get some hype.

I'd like for you to name 10 of these billions that have put up numbers like Lamar Jackson and had the personal accomplishments he has.

I don't think he'll be great in the NFL, but GTFO with your hyperbole.

i mean if it's theoretically possible to "coach him up" to NFL standards, you're dealing with a legitimately dominant QB

a late 1st rounder is worth that risk

Isn't part of being a dual threat QB a skill set?

This is bullshite. They weren't outliers, they were Heisman trophy winners. We aren't just talking about talented players, we are talking about dominant performers.

Jackson will go in the first round. When there are only 15-20 QBs worth a shite in the league, you have to be willing to strike out at times.
