Qb Lamar Jackson Visiting The Dolphins Today

Hey QB is suppose to be Gases forte. So if Gase believes he can train the guy well then let him go for it. As Gase indicates he is focused more on additude less on talent.
 
God would he be an exciting second round pick. And we do need a QB at some point in the draft, unless Brock Lobster is a sleeper superstar e.g Foles :cool
 
It would be fun. I feel like my reaction would be similar to the Pat White pick... I can’t hate it and if I’m being honest, I’m low key excited to see what he can do.

Note: I am not necessarily in favor of picking him with #42 overall. I just wouldn’t be surprised or upset.

I wouldn't hate selecting him in the second round. Has home run potential as a high risk/high reward pick. We need a good, young developmental QB out of this draft. My one misgiving with Jackson is that he is more likely to be a "distraction" behind Tannehill as a somewhat high profile backup. But if he ends up as the high reward pick none of that would matter a lick.
 
Jackson would probably have to sit a minimum of 1 year behind Tannehill.

Not sure his accuracy fits Gases scheme but he has very high upside

After all this hype on this QB class, it would be hysterical to see that it was all smoke and mirrors and half of them arent even drafted in the first round,
 
Czonked has a point. The Phins essentially get a “free visit” with Jackson in the sense that it doesn’t count against the 30 national visits we are allowed.
 
My opinion? It's easiest to just cut and paste what I posted in another thread within the last hour - but the summary is if he lasts til the 3rd round, at that point I think the potential upside would counterbalance the risks and red flags.

I might have agreed a week or 2 ago but now I'm adamantly against it. Gase requires a complicated playbook and Jackson's 13 Wonderlic Score does not exactly build confidence. Relatedly, it's been reported on ESPN and NFL Network that he was the least impressive of the bunch diagramming white board plays.

Now above and beyond that, someone here posted the relative velocity of the QB class's respective throws and at 49, Jackson's was the discernible lowest, so there's that too. Florio today was reporting that one team that wants to interact with him placed 7 unanswered calls to him. Relatedly, his decision to use his mother as an agent speaks poorly for his judgment; a good agent could and would have anticipated that he needed prepping for the Wonderlic, could have neutralized a lot of the resulting negative news and certainly would have not let any interested team's calls go unanswered.

Way too many red flags for me so no thank you. Now if he fell to the 3rd round, which of course he won't, then I can see where the relative gains could justify the risks.
