Exactly!!!!!! Correct!!Lamar is a winner. Excellent winning percentage and his team does nothing but lose without him. Depending on what OBJ has left, and the impact of adding an explosive WR like Flowers, this should be Lamar's best supporting cast (which really isn't saying much). If Lamar gets in a fully healthy season then I'm expecting an MVP caliber performance. He's a great football player and a fierce competitor. Honestly I'm surprised that Lamar and the Ravens were able to get past their differences. After all when you make a trade request, and then make it publicly known, that's not usually a good sign. I'm glad they worked it out and they're trying to put some better pieces around him.
That's fine. I'm not worried about it. They've resolved their differences and both have committed to the other long term.I sure can question his mindset when he did not even traveled with the team.
It hasn't happened yet but that doesn't mean it won't. You're skeptical, I'm not. He's a tremendous athlete, a great football player, and a former NFL MVP as a quarterback. The team is finally assembling some nice pieces around him so we'll see how that pays off.As for the regular season record. Sure, he is a great athlete and his skillset will help him win games in the regular season. Look at him in big games, he is not a winner. Could he be one? Sure. Has not happened yet and nothing tells me he has what it takes to adjust his game when quality opponents take away what he does best.
He's never had a serious injury and he'll be 100% healthy for the 2023 season. I wanted the Patriots to draft him and then trade for him this offseason (when he was clearly available for a time period). I don't understand how anyone would prefer Mac Jones over Jackson. The separation in talent and ceiling is enormous.I understand why the Ravens re-signed him, but I sure am glad he is not a Patriot today. I have no confidence he will ever play at MVP level again nor that he will still be effective 3 years down the line. Runnning QBs do not last unless they adjust. He better start adjusting VERY soon.
Why should players assume 100% of the injury risk?It's certainly getting bizarre in this era of the NFL you can get injured and get rewarded with a lot of money.
Of course he can. That's like saying a GM hates players because he keeps cutting some of them.I have no problem with him getting paid.
But it's a team sport with a salary cap. You can't say you're about the team if you're getting such a significant percent of the salary cap.
As I said, it is not a Mac vs Lamar discussion.That's fine. I'm not worried about it. They've resolved their differences and both have committed to the other long term.

Yet I heard a NFL Media guy say "$185M guaranteed" today, which is just wrong.Yeah, "guarantees" that won't be triggered if player is not on the roster on X day of X league year, etc etc... big difference...
