Its a copout because you use it to discredit anybody who can run at all.
Of course I discredit the passing of a collegiate QB who is also running a gimmick offense as a runner. Like I said, his running affords him opportunities that won’t be there in the NFL. When you are a 60% passer and you have the benefit of running and what it does to a defense, then yes, you should be discredited as a passer.
I don’t compare Jackson to RG3 because they are different type runners. RG3was straight line speed and LJ is allusive as well as fast. I actually like that part of LJ much better. If you go back to RG3’s rookie year, I mentioned the same things on how it improved RG3because of his run threat and how that helped Reed and Ammo. He made players around him better in a way. When his legs were taken away, he isn’t even an NFL back up.
Oh, I don’t take away from Russell Wilson even though he can run. I don’t think he would be an NFL QB if he couldn’t though.
