Jalen Hurts isn’t moving the ball up and down the field with Gus Edwards and Nelson Agholor
While all this is true, hurts has always been really good at staying patient and Not trying to force plays in the clutch, being generally poised in big moments, an area Lamar could really take notes on

While Lamar has been entirely unsupported in the playoffs, he has also put us in spots we don’t need to be in, by refusing to just fight another down. He’s carried and he’s also compounded other players mistakes by making mistakes of his own, key examples being the Buffalo fumble and the KC int, yeah linderbaum gave him a bad snap but he could’ve fell on it and fought on third down, and at worst punted, but instead gave them a very short field, and the KC int came after the flowers fumble, but again you could’ve fought another down and taken the field goal if you fell short, and tried one more time if your #1 defense gets another stop.

Jalen hurts is no Lamar Jackson, not even fucking close, but Lamar could totally stand to adopt some of Hurts’ patience.

Hurts has been allowed patience cause of his line and defense. That SB mvp is the result of stat padding. The score was around 27-0 in the 3rd. He hadn't done shit until then had the cleanest of pockets on a blitz to hit Smith for a td. He threw an awful int people ignore because Cooper gets a pick 6 the very next series. You start speeding his stupid ass up and you get the Chargers game.

If Jalen has had the same line Lamar had, especially dealing with our Guard situation last year. Jalen has less of a chance to succeed in Baltimore than Lamar. Lamar's legs is what allows him to somehow make something out of nothing despite not having a good offensive line. Now Lamar in Philly with those weapons, that offensive line and defense? Lamar might have multiple rings by now.
