Ravens Ring of Honor
I'd argue he's underrated. He takes a lot of stink off of, what I think, is a fairly average roster overall.Idk, I just have to find him overrated at this point because everyone acts like he’s had two Flacco like post season runs and it just hasn’t been the case. He was lucky to not have 4 INTs this past game, his only big plays were under thrown deep balls. In the super bowl he was lucky to have 1TD, it was an egregious no call.
I think he’s good and I get ball placement increases the likelihood of completing 50/50 balls, but I don’t consider him Tom Brady or Mahomes like some do. And obviously I’m bias and annoyed that a lot of ppl around here call Lamar a running back and act like he can’t hold a candle to Burrow whereas I think he does more with less, not to mention is 6-1 against said team.
They've had at peak an average and at worst a dreadful offensive line for his entire Bengals tenure. They really don't run the ball particularly well, and their defense is kind of just "meh" to me. Like it's not bad, but they don't have a lot of playmakers, and its a bunch of just like average to good players at various positions, but nothing even remotely special.
Everybody harps on the fact that he has excellent weapons to throw to, which he does. But I can say this for certain... if you made the Ravens roster look like the Bengals, the Ravens aren't winning anything. Lamar with a mediocre defense, a below average Oline, and a pedestrian running game is scaring precisely nobody.
I think position-by-position, the Bengals have probably the weakest overall roster in the division. And yet they are rightfully viewed as the best team in it.
