    I will Gallup one tiny benefit of the doubt: it is not uncommon for players to be off that first year back from a knee injury and then be better the second year back. I don’t think this is the case but it is not impossible and he is still in his prime years.

    The 2024 Offseason Thread

    If anything the turnover on the OLine is a big concern. Going from having a top 5 OLine where you are replacing 3 starters and one of the 2 remaining is often injured is absolutely a point of concern.

    The 2024 Offseason Thread

    It’s almost like 40 time is completely irrelevant and the best way to judge a football player is how they play football and how they move on the field.

    I mean he was great as a rookie but since then he has been more name than game.

    Lamar Jackson

    My "narrative" is that the Ravens were playing a bunch of close games and managed to win most of them in Lamar's "rookie" year and were blowing people off the field in his MVP year, which was his first full starting season with reps as the starter all through the offseason. I did not mention...

    Lamar Jackson

    I mean every other sport does. In the NBA we don’t call a game a blowout when you are up 3 with 2 minutes left but end up winning by 12. Conversely it will be called a blowout when you are up 30 going into the 4th and win by 12. The same is true of hockey, and soccer, and MLB. So why is it...

    Lamar Jackson

    They were all close until in some of them the Ravens pulled away in the 4th (which is a very good thing but a close game for 3 quarters is a game I would call close). For example the Raiders game was 20-17 before the Ravens added 14 in the 4th. The Falcons game was 16-10 going into the 4th...

    The Random Thought Thread

    I find it weird that everyone is just assuming Wilson is the starter for the Steelers. Both of them last year were bottom 8 QBs in the NFL and I am not sure there is significant gap between them in terms of ability. Wilson could only do one play well last year (play action deep ball) and I am...

    Lamar Jackson

    Also they were not tearing up the league in 2018. That was his rookie year and it was just kind of close narrow wins. Tearing up the league was the year after and that loss was to the Titans. Even that though you can kinda ignore because the team was suddenly ahead of schedule which triggered...

    I don’t get why PQ wants to be the villain because it doesn’t fit. They drafted his replacement a year ago basically telling him they weren’t resigning him. Then he went and played great and got good money elsewhere. He has good reason to feel scorned but not to be the villain.

    That is insane. That means he went for less than Mac Jones (who while a far worse player has better accolades I guess) and, to mock the Cowboys, significantly less than Trey Lance a year ago.

    As an elite QB who had an injury red flag because he missed significant time 2 years in a row? That is not a matter of debate. When you get injured in back to back seasons and miss significant time that is a major injury concern. It is the reason I would not have Burrow in the top 3 right now...

    I kinda get why PQ is bitter. It has to be hard when a team drafts your replacement while you are still on the roster so it makes sense that he wants payback. Players will use any motivation to keep them going and this had to be stinging to his pride, and I would be shocked if it does not keep...

    It is annoying as well because they can manage to look completely awful and still win the game. That one earlier this year where they kept dropping passes was particularly annoying because that should have been a 3td blowout.

    I am not really trying to be subtle about it. I have him as the 2nd or 3rd best QB right now and I think I had him at 6 or 7 before the season due to the injury concerns. If you think Lamar is worse than that I would love to know the justification. Similarly, if you have him over Mahomes I...
