LJ has a 66% completion pct, throws for 36 TDs vs 6 int's and you want to say he's worse than McCown .....really?  Shameful comparison without any basis in reality.

c'mon.  you know as well as i that jackson's pass completion rate would be way down if he was a flacco statue.

While Larry’s instincts on Lamar as a player were good, unfortunately he would be horrible if we drafted him. He’s on one of the best teams, top to bottom, front office, coaching, roster. We woul

Can actually hear the Curb theme playing over Maccagnan's laughter.

I opened the thread to ask if anyone had reminded Larry David that Lamar Jackson wouldn't be good here.  Only Sam Darnold could be good here, as evidenced by how good Sam Darnold is here.

Carry On.

So you think throwing while moving decreases the difficulty of being accurate and not the converse? Really? Please explain.

c'mon.  you know better than that one too.  the threat of jackson running puts defenses in the awkward position of defending the run or the pass.  the receivers will get uncovered if jackson threatens to run as the db's try to close up the line.  and don't forget that the receivers can also run to the ball more easily if they're uncovered so jackson can throw the balls out there and expect his receivers to run to them.

as for throwing on the run,  even darnold throws better on the run at times.  when jackson moves around he's buying time and he's buying space and vision so he can see his receivers better.

Jackie Mason thought we should have drafted Sapp over Kyle Brady and Billy Crystal didn't like the Doug Jolley trade.

Add that to the celebrity Jet critiques. 

Its important.

Isn't that the point. Dope celebrities know better than our former GM and ah you

If we drafted Josh Rosen, pining away writing desperate love letters for Lamar Jackson would be marginally appropriate.

We drafted Sam Darnold.  He's a better quarterback than Lamar Jackson. 

If you wanted a running back, if you wanted Brad Smith II, different story.  You've got Sam.  You've got nothing to complain about.

Stupidest post I have read on this board in quite some time (and that is saying something). I love Sam but to say he is better than Jackson at this point in their careers shows some serious bias.  Did you actually compare Brad Smith to Jackson????   You have GOT to be kidding.   Last game of the season gave the purest example of how good Jackson is because he didn't play, RGIII did and if you could not see the difference in those two (both mobile quarterbacks who can run) than there is no point in continuing any conversation.   Sam can only hope and pray that he can have the kind of season (and record) Jackson just had.....  AS A PASSER.   I believe he can become a franchise quarterback but come on dude.

Jackson busts when people figure out how to stop him. He completes 10 passes a game for 140 yards. That’s not a quarterback. That’s Brad Smith running around and dumping off 5x a half.

Cuz Larry David is some football genius. Does he really think that he knew then how good Lamar would be? No one knew, in fact at least half of the teams out there were asking if he would be willing to transition to WR because they did not think he was going to be a good QB. Baltimore decided that the gamble was worth it, so much so that they were willing to revamp the entire offensive system to fit Lamar. So far the Ravens look like genius' and it has paid off very well for them. But I guess LD felt the need to toot his own horn about his football acumen. Thanks Larry, what would we do without you? 

Well I was in favor of drafting Jackson too.   Anyone who actually WATCHED his games knew that he could be at least as good if not better than Watson.  The bigger surprise is not how good he is but how FAST he became this good, doing it in only his second season.    Smart teams will adapt to the talent on the team.   It is not like we had a stone footed Flacco that we had to replace.  We had McCown who everyone knew would just be keeping the seat warm for whomever we drafted at QB.   You mean to tell me he couldn't have learned a thing or two sitting behind him for a few games?   This whole idea that he is some creation of the Ravens is really an insult to the kid, his talent, work ethic and desire.   I don't give a rip what anyone says.  This kid would have been good, no matter what team drafted him, as long as he got a chance to play.   Would he be MVP level good this quick, perhaps not, but lets not act live he would have been some bum if the Jets had drafted him.  Geno Smith he is not.

Don’t pocket QB’s get hit as much as Jackson? Sacks, knock downs etc.

Exactly, anyone can get hurt at anytime.  The important thing is him learning to take what the defense gives him and then slide down, which he has been doing more of and avoiding getting hit trying for extra yardage.  It is like folks are looking for a reason for him to fail.   The playoffs will be a big test for him as teams have more time to prepare and the pressure goes up.  But that is the same for any young quarterback (see Goff last superbowl etc.)

You hope lol.  He completes a whole lot more than 10 passes a game.  BTW let me know the next time Sam passes for 5 TDs in a game.    Why are you INVESTED in this kid failing?  For you to keep bringing up Brad Smith, who threw like 5 passes in his entire Jets career, says a lot more about you than perhaps you realize.

Realizing he was completely overhyped and one dimensional isn’t rooting for him to fail. He just isn’t a good NFL QB. Neither are a lot of other QBs that we bash. 

It's obvious that the people that didn't like him as a QB were sitting back and waiting for this moment like "aha! See! I told you so!" Like 1 game erases the season he had.

He had a bad game. It is what it is. It happens. This Titans D made the "GOAT" QB look bad too. They're a pretty good defense. You need those to win titles you know

The GOAT QB hasn’t looked good 90% of the year. The D is the only reason why the Pats even had a good year and Henry smashes them.

Obviously people are going to be like see I told you when a player is being touted as the next great thing, someone who is changing the game forever like Sayers shows what they’ve been seeing. 
Jackson is great when he can run and the defense plays soft but that goes away in the playoffs. Vick was a better player (at this point) then Jackson and he had the same issue.

Problem Lamar has now is that he chokes in the playoffs.  At home.

Its now a trend, in the playoffs when the opposition can focus
on BAL offense and tendencies Jackson struggles.  Add yesterday's
game to the LAC fiasco:

If jackson can’t win with his legs he becomes beatable.  He’s not a bad pocket passer, he’s better than josh allen, but I’d rather take my chances with him than with Garapolo.

Lamar IS A HORRENDOUS pocket passer... & he IS NOT Better than Josh Allen in the pocket... & Josh IS a Very POOR example of a good pocket passer.
