I checked Lamar's stats and I'm not sure how one can say Lamar isn't a huge asset

Last year he passed at 65%, a 6:1 TD:int ratio, was basically a superior efficient QB to 2/3 of the QBs in the league, then basically for free was also a 1200 yard rusher. That's insanely good. This year again a 65% passer and 3:1 TD:int ratio. I think the hang-up is people can't wrap their minds around the QB being different to what they're accustomed to. Again, the era of John Stockton is over, it's more like the Iverson's and Westbrook's at the position now. A QB who can run/pass can be almost unstoppable in the red zone....
