59% is still way better than Tebow's career 48%.
Jackson had two seasons of 3500+ yards in college. Tebow's best was 3200 and had 2 seasons under 3000.
Jackson is a way better passer like I said.

Ahhh but see now you're mixing stats- Tim Tebow in college completed about 66% of his passes- almost 10% better than Lamar Jackson during his collegiate days (57%). Tebow's career % you're referring to is his NFL numbers- Lamar Jackson's 59% completion percentage is a bit premature especially since this is his 4th career start on Sunday.
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.
