There has been a lot of Heisman discussion surrounding Lamar Jackson so far, but Deshaun Watson is still the best QB in the country. How do you think the two QB’s compare heading into week four?

"“In my opinion, there’s no question who the better quarterback has been thus far. It’s Lamar Jackson. Hopefully, Deshaun Watson will come into a zone as he did last year, but Jackson has been the best player in the country to this point. He is a freak of nature and can beat you with his arm or with his legs. I’ve been amazed with what he has done and the improvements he has made from last season to this season. If Jackson could come up with a win in Death Valley this Saturday, he would almost cement his name as the Heisman front-runner.”"

It’s amazing how much better Jackson has become in just one season under head coach Bobby Petrino. The read-option had come a long, long way and his decision making with the football has been much better.

However, Watson vs. Jackson is going to be the best quarterback match-up of the 2016 season. Neither guy is going to give one inch, therefore this should be a back-and-forth game throughout the evening.
