I watched a bit of the TB game and it seemed his receivers were not getting a heck of a lot of separation. His line was pretty sketchy pass-blocking even though he was only sacked once. Seemed rushed out there. Their run game is not good. Zero respect for it.
I'm sure he has been declining but aside from Evans I don't think he has much to work with this year.
Hope you're not counting Zappe's games for Western Kentucky against stiffs now working the tills at Walmart. If you're just counting NFL, it seems a reach to have him over Lawrence, who actually started the season ok.
Tua want to Bamba he likes to chill with the Big Boys.
You forgot to mention winning the Big one without BB.
Lamar Jackson is a stud. BB made a huge mistake passing on him. Especially after he shipped out Garappolo for a 2nd round pick and a bag of chips. But BB's ineffective drafting over the past decade has been well documented.
I wonder who he'd have for last?
Jackson has been a stud since entering the league. And he's just continued to prove why it was a mistake to pass on him.
Lawrence was very good to start the season but then he starting playing losing football again. Jacksonville probably could have beaten Philadelphia had Lawrence not turned the ball over 5 times. He also was responsible for the losses to Houston and Denver. Overall he's still a huge disappointment for an overall #1 draft pick. Fields is now emerging as the best of that draft class.
If you're just considering 2022 then Geno over Brady. Cousins, no. He's having his worst season in a Vikings uniform.
Why would a team agree to it? With the money mostly set by slotting, there's very little for players to negotiate with to get the tag removed.
7 rings says otherwise
Our assessments of Lamar clearly aren't the same. I love his potential and overall athleticism, ability to extend plays, scramble, and designed runs. At his best he's an MVP caliber player. He hasn't had great offensive talent around him either. He was spectacular to start this season, and although his numbers have come down, he's been relatively mistake free. Now unfortunately he's injured and will miss an undetermined amount of time. Eventually we'll see what he does in the postseason, which he'll enter with Mahomes, Allen and Burrow all expected to do more, so Lamar will have a real opportunity to make a statement.
Ok, I'm not agreeing with this for sure. With all of the information I have as of today, I'll take Lamar over all of those quarterbacks. Of those quarterbacks, aside from Lamar, I would say Murray clearly has the most potential. Pickett's numbers are really bad but by the eyeball test he seems to have good potential. Zappe's an interesting case because he overperformed expectations and probably is worth another look... which for the long term will only happen if Mac gets seriously injured or traded.
Geno has to be given some credit for his own success this season. He's the comeback player of the year. Pete Carroll is a good head coach too. I know that's difficult for some to admit but his track record has become undeniable. We have to reassess Russell Wilson to some extent now as well. Perhaps he was contributing to Seattle's poor record in 2021 more than was originally thought. He's looked completed washed up in Denver and it's week 14 of the season. I like Lockett and Metcalf, and their running game has a solid Y/A, but their defense isn't very good and they're not guaranteed to make the postseason. Overall good team, with a good head coach, and a quarterback who's having an unexpectedly excellent season.
Allen's ceiling is almost unstoppable but he's been too inconsistent. With the respective remaining schedules, Buffalo will be fortunate to hold onto the #1 seed. If Allen plays to his potential then they could run the table. He's far from their biggest concern. Their defense on the other hand is leaking oil with the injuries, and with Miller now out for the remainder of the season, the defense isn't going to be as good as originally thought. So that's their main issue... working around the significant injuries on defense.
My feeling is Tua was a bit underrated heading into the season and now it's going a little bit the other way because he's having a great season with a very strong supporting cast and a new head coach who has caught on really fast. But a healthy Lamar in that Miami offense would be next level impressive.
Fields, like Lawrence, has shown the potential that got them drafted in the 1st round. Fields has had a slightly better season as a passer but he's really taken off with his running game. He has one of the worst supporting casts in the NFL so I'd like to see what he looks like with some legitimate WRs.
Well, obviously I think you're being harsh. Again, we'll have more data by the end of the season. We'll see how Lamar fairs in a loaded AFC postseason. I'd feel better about his chances if the team had surrounded him with any WRs at all. Andrews is a nice TE but they've got next to nothing at WR. And their pass defense is bad, which isn't ideal when you're facing Mahomes, Allen or Burrow.
We are talking about this season..
