Jackson isn't a passing QB At all. He's on the perfect team for him that runs the ball very well and plays good defense, which allows the Ravens to win with 180 passing yards or so. If Jackson is behind and had to pass, he's an average QB. Jackson takes his WR's out of the game. Given the punishment he takes, I do not he will be be on top of his game for long.
That throwing motion of his to me is a problem and, he throws too many side-arm passes even when he does not have to.
Yep, a full 2020 season played and this still holds up. He's an electrifying runner with an OC who does great with running QBs. He's not gonna win by passing consistently. Though I do hope he is ok (from the concussion)
This post aged very well (because it's true).
This is why I'm not buying into the hype of it being necessary having a mobile QB to win a championship. Majority of these 'mobile' QB's are right now home watching the playoffs. The only ones left are Mahomes and Allen (I don't know if we can consider Rodgers anymore at his age), and they're still in it not so much due to their running ability, but their ability to sling it
I disagree, you do need a "mobile" QB to win today, but a "running" QB (like Lamar) isn't winning you anything. To me Mahomes, Mayfield, Allen and even still Rodgers are mobile enough to scramble and throw on the run accurately. I'd much rather have a QB like them that can sprint out to a side but are STILL looking to throw first and only run (efficiently) when they have to.
This guy used to throw accurately while on the run

I think he won his last super bowl doing things like this
A mobile QB is important. A QB who is only capable of running the ball and can't throw consistently ain't winning you anything
