  1. How did we decide this: “There’s no telling what the actual price tag would be for Indy, which would be paying him during his prime years.” Colin Kaepernick is the most likely comparable (little smaller than Lamar, though). CK did well when he was 24-26. But, starting in 2014, when he was 26-27 yo, he went 8-8 (’14, 26-27 yo), then 3-6 (’15, 27-28 yo), and 2-10 (’16, 28-29 yo). While I appreciate Jackson, I think it is highly debatable that an athlete like him is guaranteed to be in his prime years as a QB. And, the price tag ($133MM+ and 2 1st round picks) might hamstring the organization. I like Jackson way better than Rivers, Wentz, or Ryan. But, it’s conceivable they could be best off with the next Jalen Hurts to come out of the draft, especially with cap-friendly rookie contracts. [But, maybe follow the Redskins lead, and hedge your bets by trying to draft both RGIII and Kirk Cousins in the same draft, in case one gets hurt.]

    1. All great points. Jackson’s durability is the #1 concern. If he’s healthy, then those would be his prime years… but that’s a huge “if”, no doubt.
