Lamar Jackson

rossihunter2 said:


the curse of lamar's career so far has been that even when he's clutch, the team still somehow loses
and when he's not clutch, no one else on the team can pick up the slack...

so he gets this reputation that's entirely results-based

He had a 2011 repeat flaccos fantastic finish multiple times and it wasn't enough. I fully felt seeing him carve up Pittsburgh that it was the monkey off his back needed to inspire his own confidence that he can beat kc and @pitt even when down
 
I hope this game ends all the ridiculous Lamar talk about trading him or he's not clutch.

Lamar puts us in a position to win virtually every time and we miss a kick, fumble , drop a pass,etc.
 
Lamar didn’t have his best game ever, but he came tf to life in the fourth, and he didn’t put us behind the 8 ball with his play early like in the bills playoff game. The biggest problem early was just stupid penalties putting us behind, pass pro was nonexistent, and a super unlucky batted ball that fell right into an active rushers arms.

Lamar dodging that sack and throwing the td was insane, he frustrated tf outta me by tryna throw to Hopkins when he should’ve just ran, that’s the kinda thing he is overall mostly criticized for and it’s the thing that’s deserved, he didn’t just take the needed yards when they were there and went to do some extra fancy shit. He made up for it the next play with some crazy shit.

Lamar is that dude. He needs to play on schedule more but he also needs a playbook that supports that. If you come out of this game thinking Lamar is where we need to upgrade then you’re just a dumbass, through and through.

Yet somehow, there are plenty of them about. Do you think there is a substantial minority of Bills fans who hate Allen, or Bengals fans who hate Burrow and can't wait for him to fail? I don't.

I suspect race has something to do with. Even stupidity alone isn't enough to make so many people hate a 2.99 time MVP on their own team.

It’s absolutely a racial thing. I know this because I have some ignorant ass family but they’ll at least be honest about how they feel, I’ve seen enough of it to know that the typical “talking points” about Lamar are thinly veiled
 
Why we need to not overpay for a QB. Do you know how many of the top 10 paid QBs have Super Bowl wins? Do you know how much we were paying our QBs when we won our Super Bowls? No one player is worth that much money on a team that needs many great players to win. Tom Brady never took the big money when in NE during his great run. Do you know why?
Patrick Mahomes, shoot I think he is 14th highest paid QB? He understands how to win. A great QB looks a lot better when his team is better. We can't overspend at the QB position we would be better off losing a great QB then overpaying for one. We might do better in the long run. I would love to talk about this more, but this is my cliff notes on my opinion.

We definitely aren't overpaying our QB.

Good bye.

100%! Rest of those guys have pr teams or big endorsers who will basically shut all the shit down. nfl would never make someone like lamar the face of the league. Too authentic and unapologetically himself. He got nobody backing him and if he defends himself he gonna look “ immature”…. Boy they couldnt pay me to be a pro athlete.. id single handily change the way these talking haad speak about athletes lol

This took a couple of days to complete since I kept tinkering with the parameters. But I've organized a spreadsheet with the intermediate and deep passing numbers, and both combined, for every single Pro-Bowl attendee at QB since 2019.



I've long suspected that Lamar Jackson was one of the best passers of this era on throws north of 9 yards, and here's the empirical evidence. Over the last 3 years, he's thrown for 6,028 yards, 64 TDs and 9 INTs.

His QB rating is 1st by a significant margin at 134.95. He leads the NFL in passing TDs. He has the lowest INT amount, 1 of 2 QBs in single digits (The other being Jayden Daniels, who's played roughly half his games). His completion percentage of 57.37% is 3rd to Jared Goff and Brock Purdy. And between 10-19 yards, which I believe is the most valuable throwing range per EPA, his numbers are somehow even better. This is generational efficiency, no other way to describe it.
