Better thrower than Tebow. Way faster. Different body types. Tebow had like 30 pounds on Jackson.

The comparison is in regards to their body of work not actually their body type you bafoon.
Two quarterbacks that look more natural running the ball than throwing the ball. Michael Vick could actually throw the ball down the field- comparing Lamar Jackson to Vick is an insult. The RG3 comparison is closer- but remember RG3 was greater than a 70% completion rate in the NCAA his last collegiate year at Baylor while Lamar Jackson never even hit 60% in any season at Louisville. I think the Tebow comparison is spot on- Jackson and Tebow struggle and will struggle to throw the ball at the NFL level. There is a reason why so many scouts and teams wanted to convert Lamar Jackson- cause he's an athlete not a QB.
You think that 59% completion percentage is gonna get any better in the big league?
