Exactly, he passed for over 3500 in his last two years w 30/27 pass TD, while out rushing Barkley his last year I believe.Agreed. Jackson started the season as a clear back-up, and has done more running than passing during his few games starting as a Raven. However, it should be pointed out that this is a guy who passed for more than 9000 yards in three years in college with a 143 QB rating, it isn't like he hasn't demonstrated the ability to throw the ball, at least at the college level. Of course, being productive in college doesn't always translate to the pros, but at least give him a few games before writing him off as a passer. Wasn't Goff considered to be the worse passer in history his rookie year, and then turned it around with a coach who understood offense in year 2? If Jackson is getting it done primarily with his legs, as a rookie, good for him.
....Man, I am really looking forward to Ozzie Newsome retiring this year, he has just been too freaking competent over the years.
I'm not delusional about him. He'll never be Marino or Brady. And he doesn't have to be. For a rookie he's been vg. Rookie QB'S aren't supposed to be great or even good. They're supposed to flash why you drafted them & make steps towards consistency & + plays. He's a baby, age wise & has shown enough of his arm & will only get better imo.
