Lol...so that's a big difference? It took Dak 5 years to develop that . Lamar was/is doing more in 3 years. Lamar also did more with less talent.

Sorry your maroon colored glasses don't allow you to see why the years they played make a difference.... Big difference in a 17-18 YO and a 22 YO that has developed for 3 years before seeing meaningful snaps under one of the best QB coaches in the college game. Lamar was able to do it right out of high school with arguably less talent around him. The guy was the youngest player to ever win a Heisman man. But yea hes garbage and can't throw. What a joke.
Sorry your argument doesn't compute. And lets see if Lamar ends up in a situation as taylormade for him as Dallas is for Dak. More than likely Lamar will end up in a sh** situation. If Dak was playing for the Browns he would already be out of the league more than likely.
Dak was a below average to average passer up until his senior year and that is a fact. He had more help around him his junior year and that offset/ hid some deficiencies in his passing game. And I am proud Dak is a Dog and hope that he has a long and successful career but his passing ability isn't what makes him great, his intangibles are what makes Dak great.
and statistically speaking for the 3 years since you apparently don't think it matters we can just compare Daks first three years to Lamar's first three(who was better in their first 3 years?):
Lamar Jackson: 619-1086 57% 9,043 yds 69 TDS 27 INT 2.55 TD/INT
Dak Prescott: 418- 692 60.7% 5,583 yds 41 TDS 18 INT 2.27 TD/INT
Rushing:
Lamar Jackson 655att 4,132yds 50 TDS 6.3 YPC
Dak 376att 1,933yds 31 TDS 5.14 YPC
Dak also wasn't asked to do nearly as much in the passing game as Lamar was and his YPA were less than Jacksons. Louisvilles passing game was a tad more vertical than States was under Mullen.
And for the record I am not saying Dak wasn't a good college QB or didn't deserve to be taken higher in the draft. A pile of NFL teams screwed up not drafting him although the situation he is in has had a whole lot to do with his success. All I am saying is Lamar jackson has all of the tools needed to make a very good NFL QB.
If anything yall arguing Dak is as good as Lamar are making an argument for why Lamar should be drafted high. They are similar players with Lamar being a bit more explosive. I don't follow Lville enough to know what type of character L. Jackson is but I haven't heard or seen anything negative about him.
Rumor is that the Giants are considering taking him with pick #2, so actual teams may not be so skeptical of his NFL QB potential.
Why is this such a hot topic on a MSU board?
Yall need to get this passionate about our teams and players.
28 please pull those passing stats you speak of pal..... should be good.
