Darnold Schwarzenegger Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Lamar has (1) 300 yard passing game in his career. Hes the most overrated qb in the nfl imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embrace the Suck Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 10 hours ago, AFJF said: The dude is night and day from last season in terms of production. Did the NFL catch up or was last season just a fluke? I'm hearing a lot of criticism of the play calling in Baltimore but I thought the thing that made LJ special was his ability to move the chains with his legs when plays broke down or just weren't there. Yeah, during the playoffs. I believe it was the Titans. Lamar is a good QB still just not invincible. As someone else mentioned when a running QB tries to be a pocket QB... Of course maybe it's just a growing pain as he evolves into a better pocket QB than he currently is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maury77 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Teams are starting to stack the middle of the field against him and forcing him to beat them by throwing outside the numbers, which he struggled with going back to Louisville. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerous Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 10 hours ago, Defense Wins Championships said: Lamar Jackson (playoffs). 0-2 record (Chargers/Titans). 45/88 (51.1%), 559 passing yards. 3 TD's/3 INT's. Sacked 11 times. Postseason QB Rating of 68.3 (embarrassing). Once a running QB is forced to pass as a Quarterback; they'll never dominate (for long). Pure pocket passing QBs like Montana/Brady/Manning/Brees etc will always be the King DNA of the QB position (they'll never be replaced) and QBs like Rodgers/Mahomes/Wilson who are mobile but only look to run when forced to are super deadly but the likes of Vick/RG3/Jackson will never last for long in terms of being considered good QBs. If I wanted a RB? I'd just draft one. Yep. I’m willing to bet the coaches are also trying to get him to stay home more and throw passes because they know a couple of hits will take him out. And, now that more than a couple of teams are trying to adopt this style, the defenses will get wise to it a lot faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhg1084 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 If I was starting a team today, Lamar would be pretty low on the list of QBs I’d take ahead of him. Guys like Herbert and Burrow are no brainers over him. Even Josh Allen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sonny Werblin Posted November 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2020 This is how it works. You do well, then teams figure out how to take what you do best away from you. Then, the successful players come up with an answer and develop another part of their game. Don't sleep on Jackson, his passing skillset is much better than he gets credit for. IMO, we will not see what Lamar Jackson will be as a pro QB until Year 4. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't punish Lamar because his best happen to be MVP. Again, I agree. He was bound to go down if you compare this season to his MVP season. But we're talking production. Because he won an MVP a year ago it doesnt change the fact that he seems to have been figured out and his production isnt the same across the board. Its not a case of he was the MVP last year and this year while still top of the heap was was bound to come back a notch. Its also not like he had a great passing season, he wasnt Manning, Brady, Rodgers like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paradis Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 4 hours ago, Untouchable said: I think it’s pretty funny how Lamar has been taking shots at Greg Roman. Roman designed that entire offense around Lamar’s strengths. I wouldn’t be surprised if he completely falls flat on his face after Roman leaves. Hell, I kind of expect it. I think it's equally as funny/puzzling how many posters here can't wait to be point and laugh at Lamar. Greg Roman has a history of having his offenses foiled after a year or so - but that's doesn't suite the narrative people are looking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Werblin Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Jackson's QBR in games is: > 95 - 6 games 90 to 95 - 1 game 70 to 75 - 3 games < 70 - 1 game So, he's had 7 good games; 3 mediocre; and 1 bad based on QBR. Notably, 3 of his last 5 games he has been over 95. Based on this, I am unsure as to what has been "figured out" because, I would presume if the league figured him out, he wouldn't have a QBR over 95 in 3 of his last 5 games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is nothing compared to the nolifers in the league. Lamar Louisville Jackson was going to be figured out sooner than later. This is uncalled for, I have interviewed Bart Scott and spoken to him at length. At no time did I ever think the guy was dumb. He seems pretty smart to me. Dude knows more about muscle growth and nutrition than 99.99%. He is pretty set investment wise as far as I can see. Calling him dumb is baseless. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair, The dude is exciting to watch, especially against inferior defenses where the OL can still win, they can run the ball and utilize play action. But their is enough evidence to support the view that if they are losing at halftime, they are losing the game. The more Lamar has to throw the ball the worse he gets. He's a below average passer.

shuler82 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Herbert did just throw for 366 yards and 3tds and while not all of Allen’s 15 catches were his fault, I’m sure some of them you could point some blame Lamar’s way. oh, my bad.

oatmeal Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Random: I knew Darnold was done when legit, our entire team lined up last year to get autographs from LJ. SO EMBARRASSING!! And a devastating shot to Darnolds ego... but to answer the question no, they have Greg one year pony figured out. Lamar will be deadly like Eagles Vick one day when he matures more as a passer. and his numbers are better than Darnolds so idk what Jets fans are even saying tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know people who work out with him and they said he is very smart. Just from reading his Wikipedia profile page, his background is pretty impressive. He grew up in Detroit where he went to public school. His low SAT scores at first threatened his collegiate career, but he worked to up his scores and made it onto campus at Southern Illinois, where he eventually got a degree in Economics. He returns to his High School every year to speak with students, and made several donations over the years to upgrade the facilities, equipment and uniforms for the school and football program. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darnold's most marketable aspect is not anything he's done, it's that Gase has a reputation as a talent devourer. I can't see a reasonably-likely scenario where he's a Jet in 2021. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
