Im curious: 

what's the biggest knock about him,  accuracy issues, processing? 

Accuracy and lack of experience primarily. He played all of 12 games or so at Florida and didn't throw all that amazingly. His accuracy issues don't seem to be correctible like Allen's were based on his poor footwork. He just misses randomly. 

He does seem to read the field well and navigates the pocket better than anyone in the draft save for Young, He is a legitimate running threat at the next level as he is built like Cam but even faster, plus the howitzer attached to his right shoulder make him intriguing. 

But overall lack of experience and accuracy issues make him a huge risk.

hmmm... interesting.

I would be more concerned with accuracy issues than experience imo.

Also, I just read an article that AR (like Levis) had a similar situation in terms of a poor supporting cast.  However, I don't buy into that being a contributing factor of less-than-stellar accuracy.  

I absolutely love this guy's physical traits.  I would be more surprised than upset if we pick him.

Eh, the cast might have had something to do with some of AR's accuracy issues. This was their week 13 injury report:

  • WR Ricky Pearsall (upper body) - questionable
  • WR Justin Shorter (lower body) - out 
  • WR Marcus Burke (upper body) - out
  • WR Thai Chiaokhiao-Bowman (upper body) - out 
  • WR Xzavier Henderson (lower body) - out
  • WR Ja'Quavion Fraziars (upper body) - out
  • TE Keon Zipperer (lower body) - questionable
  • CB Devin Moore (upper body) - out
  • LS Marco Ortiz (upper body) - out 

Five or six scholarship WRs missed that game and their top guys missed more games than that one. It's had to get in sync with guys you hadn't practiced with much, if any at all.

Writers get paid to write.  And if you put something like this out there 3 weeks before the draft, people will forget about it.  However, if for some reason we draft AR, this writer gets immediate street cred.

Would a new coach who is building a roster to compete right now want a project?  If he likes the skill set, and we have a ton of cap room, why not pursue L.Jackson?  No--I doubt a new coach would join a franchise and go out on a limb like this--
