Lamar Jackson

i would be interested in how they define inaccurate because some of the clips that they use as examples were put where only the receiver could get it and in situations where there was little separation

there were about 3-4 bad throws but also some where the pocket was literally collapsing around him - lots of these throws are borderline throwaways (where the play's dead but he puts the ball where only the receiver can get it)

also you could say all sorts about the order in which those two tweets were tweeted (let's be nice and call it bait)

i think the reason you'd see that stat manifest in the way it has says a lot about the work coach harris and coach urban did with lamar last offseason that his in rhythm mechanics have helped him take a massive step on plays in phase and that the adage that he was a scrambling qb was always wrong - we anecdotally at some points considered him to be a good passer on the move (and he does throw some absolute darts) but what gets lost in everything is that he's a good pocket passer who has the ability to scramble and make plays but ultimately as a passer he's at his best in the pocket and often with the field spread so he can read everything

The amount of hate in that thread for Lamar is impressive. He’s still living rent free in Chiefs fans’s heads I see

Man I wish I still had social media. I'd roast these Lamar haters into oblivion. Their arguments are so incredibly stupid

We’ve gone from suggesting a position change, to “he can’t throw”, to “he’ll get figured out”, to “win a playoff game first”. What’ll they say if he ever wins a Super Bowl? But I digress. The face of the Ravens (Ray Lewis) still gets hate, so we’ll just have to get use to being the villains, and that’s how I’ve always liked it.

If he wins a SB nothing anyone can say. If he does i hope netflix creates a special on it and call out every single “ expert” whose only good for grabbing attention

As much as Chris Simms tried to skirt the issue, the truth is Lamar Jackson has done things no other QB has ever done before in the history of the game. Come on Chris! Mahomes did things that has never been done before last year? Seriously? After what Lamar did? STFU and stop pussy footing around to try to have and eat the cake too buddy! Lamar is already the best player in football and is going to get into the MJ stratosphere in the next few years. Period. I don't want to hear another fucking word from you Simms.

Oh and Watson is #3 with LJ at #5? Who the fuck do you think you are punk?

That's right! Don't let him talk shit about your "son" like that!
