Tim Tebow yards per attempt in college 10.2. Lamar Jackson yards per attempt in college 8.5. Lamar Jackson in both of those 3500 yard seasons at Louisville attempted over 400 passes- Tebow's highest was 350 (when he threw for a hair under 3300).
I'm not necessarily disagreeing that Jackson is a better thrower- but he is BARELY a better passer than Tebow.

Fair enough. He's closer to Tebow than I originally perceived. I think he's more like a raw Vick. Throwing out the numbers, I just think Jackson throws a better ball than Tebow. Also a way more dynamic runner. His speed is closer to Vick's than Tebow.
