Not only would that be badass, but that would send his trade value through the roof. A two time SB champ still in his early - mid 30s would land us some serious draft capital

I'm all aboard the Lamar train but just curious do you guys think we would be where we are considering the teams we faced with Joe under center instead of Lamar? I've been a well known Joe supporter and as I think about it I'm stuck some of me feels we would have some of me doesn't.... and yes I know Lamar is our QB I'm just trying to spark conversation lol

I just think Flacco hasn’t played in a while, so it’s a been concerning if Lamar gets hurt. Plus the offense has shifted completely to Jackson’s style of playing

It’s obviously impossible to say but I just don’t feel like it would. Of course had you asked me if we put Lamar in 7 games ago that we’d be 6-1 I don’t think I would have bought that either.
Our run game would have improved overall with Edwards taking over for Collins and Dixon being healthy but OMG what they are doing right now is off the charts. I just feel like the style of play and what it means to the entire team and the spark of energy he’s provided is a factor in the 6-1 record. I’m just not thinking we’d have the same result.

Yeah it would but I’m really thinking the only two options to see that happen would be either injury or in game meltdown for Jackson and neither one is appealing at all.
I’d rather we just have Lamar ball out and win a Super Bowl which would be off the charts and would be freaking historic.

Lamar has proven to be a dynamic playmaker that has helped to revitalize what was a defunct running game. His running abilities have presented uncertainties to opposing defenses that have covered up for what is as a unit a weak offenseive line. And while he has shown flashes of being able to pass the ball with precision and touch, IMO it doesn’t appear that his passing skill set is developed enough for him to carry an offense as a passer if need be. To put it bluntly, I think if a team is able to slow down the Ravens’ run game and put up a bunch of points of their own it would seem to me we are screwed.
That said, if he had to could Joe Flacco come in as relief and perform like “January Joe”? That’s a huge unknown as he’s never been a backup, never been brought into a game cold needing to produce immediately and hasn’t played at all in two months. While I personally think Joe would thrive in that situation, I also think it would be unfair to expect for him to do so.

You can't be this dumb. The SAFETY played that shit terribly and had one job which was don't get beat deep. Rahim Moore went full retard that play and we got incredibly lucky.

What I don’t understand is why it’s such a big point of contention. One way or the other why at this point would anyone care? I mean, who gives a shit? Any team that wins a SB has a turn of good fortune somewhere along the way.

Because if you determine that the safety played that well, your overall judgement of players and their job sucks. And yes, I understand you need luck to win, but there was nothing in that play that indicates that was not a bad play by Moore.

What? I didn’t think there were banned words on the site. I feel like I’ve said worse.
Let me try. AB is a retard.
Haha apparently so it got replaced with “Wow! our opinions are very different”?

I’m pretty sure it’s probably done in deference to anyone who may have some sort of a learning disability or similar.

Far as I know, it's been done recently, when Lamar/Joe debate got intense.
It's apparently way worse than calling someone an idiot or motherfucker.

If we are honest, we can say that we just have no idea what would happen in case Lamar is forced to throw more. Sure, if it turned into 50 pass attempts for a game, we'd be totally screwed but that's no different to what happens when Flacco throws that much.
The only real measure we have are their 2018 stats. Based on them and, if we are talking more sensible balance in pass/run ratio, I'm not sure we'd be screwed any more than we'd be with Joe:
Lamar:
Joe:
Those are fairly similar numbers and the most interesting one to me is total yards - looks like Lamar throws more real passes than checkdowns.
It’s not like he doesn’t get snaps in practice

The only thing that jumped out to me on this is 12 fumbles holy hell that's almost 2 a game average

Most of them in run game and he cut down on those lately
Yes, it would be an understatement to say he needs more work on the rpo mesh point handoffs, because that is where most are coming from.

Could be Gus though
It could be, but I’m sure between the two of them they know and will work on it
