But that wasn't guaranteed he'd be a stud.
no draft pick is. that is what good scouting is for.

Paid by Baltimore, only. If they were smart, they'd guarantee more of that money they offered to get him to sign now...He's fun to watch. He's going to deservedly get PAID next season...hopefully not in Miami.

but if they don't, they will tag him over the next two season if a deal can't be reached... in 2025 he can walk into free agency without having to worry about the cap for the rest of his career...
Yeah. That is exactly the issue. The guarantee in the deal.Well, I think the issue is that Lamar wants 100% fully guaranteed $, which Baltimore is not going to do. So even if they offer more guaranteed money, unless it's 100%, Lamar is not going to sign an extension.
He probably could have been a player BB could have built a team around. The fact that we got Michel and Wynn instead dosent help
Possible. But then again BB likes smart players. TB -33 on the Wonderlic. LJ - 13...and he cant really passI wonder if Kraft ordered Belichick in 2018 to keep building around Brady and as a result BB didn't even bother scouting QBs...if so it was a colossal blunder. You had a 41 year old QB and a talented QB just sitting there at #31....
Most people dont know what they're looking at. He's improved on his deep passes. Always been one of the better MOF passers. Always been efficient and productive from the pocket. I mean he passed for almost 65 TD his two real years starting. All the stats I posted above aren't lying.I don't know why people still don't believe in Lamar.
QB wins aren't a stat but for years Pats fans touted them like they were gold. They are telling and there's not a QB responsible for more wins than Lamar. That's a lottery team without him.He is one of, if not the most, dangerous players in the whole league and he wins games.
I don't like Balty but since his MVP season they've been injured, beat up and undisciplined. Especially the OL it's been a problem for a while now. It would be scary if he didn't have to carry them and they fielded a good defense.I think if they shore up that defense they can make a run in the AFC.
whoa now, easy on the dinosaur talk. I'm with you on the missed opportunity to draft Jackson but Brady was no 2015 Peyton manning. I also think he's done alright for himself since 2019.Rather have a stud QB for the next 15 years than a dinosaur who's about to retire. You'd be a fool to think otherwise.
That would have been an odd thing for Kraft to do when just a year latter he was ok with letting Brady walk (for nothing). Word is McDaniels wanted Jackson but Belichick preferred his plan instead... Sony Michel at 31 and Danny Etling as a dart throw in the 7th. Michel turned out to be as ordinary as they come and Etling never sniffed an NFL snap.I wonder if Kraft ordered Belichick in 2018 to keep building around Brady and as a result BB didn't even bother scouting QBs...if so it was a colossal blunder.

I think perhaps you're nitpicking to hold onto a take. Whatever deficiencies Jackson has as a pocket QB (which probably aren't even that significant), he's making up for in other ways.I'm not a big fan of LJ.
I think he still has a lot of room to improve as a pocket QB.
No, I'm not. Hes an average pocket/passing QB. It's obvious and significant.I think perhaps you're nitpicking to hold onto a take. Whatever deficiencies Jackson has as a pocket QB (which probably aren't even that significant), he's making up for in other ways.
Then why is he leading the league in RTG, TDs, & #2 in QBR. NVM about the advanced stats that @BaconGrundleCandy posted. Dude is killing it. Not sure what it is you want him to do.No, I'm not. Hes an average pocket/passing QB. It's obvious and significant.
I don't want him to do anything. It's an assessment based on the type of player he is. Do you believe he is the same tier of passer as Mahomes, Burrow, Brady, Allen, Stafford, Hebert, etc?Then why is he leading the league in RTG, TDs, & #2 in QBR.

People don't want to give up on their takes from when he was coming out. Ask yourself how many times you've read "I was wrong" on here. Just doesn't happen and people were wildly wrong about Jackson. Remember the "hes a WR" talk!! Guy has been an MVP or MVP candidate when he's on the field but some pro level people thought he was a gadget player.Then why is he leading the league in RTG, TDs, & #2 in QBR.

Go back to that draft. No one had thoughts that Lamar Jackson would be the QB he is today. A team was reportedly thinking of him as a DB. Even playing in his first year, people thought he'd be injured.I wonder if Kraft ordered Belichick in 2018 to keep building around Brady and as a result BB didn't even bother scouting QBs...if so it was a colossal blunder.

I'm letting the season play out before changing my assessment. ~2/5ths of his yards, catches and targets are to one player.I don' t think he's quite there yet, but he's looked like he's improved as a pocket passer this season

This is my thing. There is no position in team sports more responsible for wins and losses than the quarterback. He has had a pretty pedestrian cast around him and I think he elevates their play to some extent. I like Lamar and I think he landed in a great spot in Baltimore (although I despise the Ravens) because they were willing to build around his skillset and I don't think a lot of organizations would do that. You see too many of these hardo coaches with their "my way or the highway" crap and they try and put a round peg in a square hole and before you know it both the player and coach are out of a job.Most people dont know what they're looking at.
