Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid knows a thing or two about NFL quarterbacks, so when he answered a question about Lamar Jackson on Wednesday, our ears perked up.
A reporter asked Reid if Jackson is a quarterback at the NFL level. His response was priceless.
Andy Reid has a pretty good answer to a question about the notion out there that Lamar Jackson should be a WR instead of a QB. pic.twitter.com/xVscUYj0TJ

If that’s not some shade thrown in the general direction of everyone who thinks Jackson should switch positions and become a wide receiver, then I don’t know what is.
Reid’s not wrong. Jackson absolutely is a quarterback. It would be utter foolishness to even try and convert him to a receiver. Yet we know that some teams really do think he’d be better as a pro without the ball in his hands every single play.
Yet somehow, Josh Allen is seen as the second coming of Brett Favre. What a world.
