Guess which QB calls himself Cam Jackson?

Pretty obvious, right?  

Credit Anthony Rizzuti of bringing Cam Jackson to our attention (a.k.a. Anthony Richardson)

“I started calling myself Cam Jackson in 11th grade,” he said. “Just trying to make big plays, just like Cam Newton and Lamar Jackson.”

CJ met with the Panthers a couple of days ago.

"General manager Scott Fitterer also had a positive review about the meeting, stating on Wednesday that Richardson was 'really good' and is 'much further ahead mentally' in terms of processing than some may believe."

Of course the processing part is positive spin, but I'm really concerned about his accuracy and actual mental progressions when the pressure is on in the pocket. Cam Jackson will have to step up his game to be in the same conversation as Newton and Lamar.

representation is amazing. im so glad that most of the stigma of the black qb has be wiped away. hearing someone talk about how one is "smart" instead of "athletic" blows my mind.

CJ Stroud just said he looked up to Vick and Watson. 
 

It’s a beautiful thing.

That's a pretty odd choice of role models considering what they are largely known for. I am sure he didn't mean anything other than their play on the field but I probably wouldn't have said that in the modern era.

Agreed. Hopefully most level headed folks won’t judge a 20 year old on comments such as this. 
 

Rational minded people will wait till he’s in his 40s and running for public office and then hold it against him.

With Vick, im sure it’s largely due to his play but Vick is a redemption story that quite a few look up to. Got his 2nd chance and ran with it. Been a model citizen, so I don’t see any wrong in having Vick as a role model.

Watson is probably for his play. He was an elite QB, and has a chance to get back there.

I like Anthony Richardson. But I'm super realistic about him. Tape dont lie. Crazy athletic... but didnt throw the ball enough for us to know anything about him. I wouldn't trade up for him. If he falls to 9 and I have a veteran QB AND Matt Corral, I take him. If I'm gonna be critical of Will Levis' tape, I gotta be honest about AR15. 

The comparisons to Cam Newton have to stop. Cam threw the ball much more in college was ready to assume starting QB responsibilities week one.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
