Yep Ozzie has lost the ability to evaluate.

Maybe he is blowing smoke.... But, with time and the right coaching maybe Jackson can be, the major question none of us know is can he learn to read a defense, that is the biggest and real question about him.

 

He might be Boller, Smith, Wright, who knows, he could also be the next great qb with time.

 

The Ravens certainly don't have the coaching staff that can help him. I hope he goes somewhere with the coaches to help him learn. If he can, watch out...

[papasmurfbell]

I think he is a WR.

[tsylvester]

Can he catch? The Ravens thought a former Navy qb was a wide out & punt returner; they were wrong....

 

Just because a small few former qbs turned out to be decent wide outs does not mean he will; the odds are against him..

[papasmurfbell]

I never said he will turn out to be a good WR. I just think that is his just shot at making it in the NFL.

[tsylvester]

He might have the best chance of a long career being the 2nd string qb for 15 years if he isn't a starter..

[papasmurfbell]

That is true. I am just looking at it for him to make money while he is in the NFL.

[tsylvester]

Hey, a million per year to hold a clip board and wait for a chance to prove your self might be better than bouncing around from team to team to prove you can go over the middle and make a catch.

 

We shall see, wide outs work out tomorrow..

But you are not going to get a 100+ mil contract doing that.
