My initial reaction was that Boykin had run the wrong route. Any chance that was the case? Even if he did, that pass looked atrocious.
dont think so - just a bad throw - obviously there's the mitigating factor of the rusher in his face but looked to me like the ball just came out of lamar's hand all wrong

The comparison for me starts and ends with being a dual threat. An actual threat to throw the ball and run. To me, thats who RG3 (whos career after year 1 went downhill thanks to injuries) was suppose to be.
Nobody runs the ball like Lamar, the closest was Vick and he has already obliterated the single season rush mark and followed it up with another 1k season. The moment you factor in throwing? Not even close. Lamar lead the league with passing Tds last year. This being Lamars second year starting, which is considered a "down" year, he threw for 26 Tds which would be a career HIGH for Vick who threw 21 Tds with the eagles.
Lamar is what RG3 was suppose to be, but with better legs. Way....WAY....better legs lol
I can see the Steve Young comparision, I'm waiting on that a little longer.
and he's a far better passer too
Well there have been many qb that were actual dual threats and many that are more comparable to Lamar than RG3.
and it's not even close. RG3 never could read the field, didn't go off his 1st read often and tbh, wasn't even liked by his teammates. That part of him has changed because he has become more humble. RG3 was always taking credit and never deflecting the credit when they were winning onto his teammates. It became obvious in his first year. I mean there were many times when he had a bad sack and the offensive line would look at him and walk back to the huddle without helping him up.

I think if Lamar improves his passing even more, the Young comparison with much better quickness/speed would be fair. I'd also say Randall Cunningham is a fantastic comparison too. However, I believe Lamar is a man on his own, meaning he has no true comparisons as he's setting his own path play style and ability wise

His efficiency is through the rough. It is scary to think that he may have another few levels that he could reach. He does not through the ball anywhere NEAR the same amount as the league and yet I saw advanced saying that he is just as efficient at the deep ball as the best guys.
The only difference is the amount of times.
Another Bills fan here (I know you probably are tired of us posting), but I just wanted to say that I don't necessarily agree with Billsfan412. The Ravens D is as well equipped to handle our passing attack than any D in the league. Humphrey, Smith, and Peters is a formidable force to counter Diggs, Beasley, and Brown. The only advantage I see is if we go 5 wide and Gabe Davis can get loose.
Looking forward to a very entertaining game! Cheers
Welcome to the boards and we certainly don't mind opposing teams fans posting if they are respectful, like your post. This game should be a very good game and could go either way and if we lost to you guys, I'll be rooting for you to win the Super Bowl.
Same, whoever goes up against the Chiefs in the AFC championship I will be rooting for.

What's your honest prediction independent of rooting for your team? I think its going to be a really close game. The more I think about it, the more I think the entire game comes down to which redzone defense is stronger. I think the Ravens edge it out but by some single digit number.

Bills Fan here. Just wanted to wish ya all the best of luck. To be honest I doubt this game will be close.. but not how you think.. We will either blow you away or you will blow us away. This game has all signs of a heavy one sided score. Just hope its the Bills.

By the way... IF you guys win? please destroy KC? thanks
I think if I remove my fandom and abstractly had to bet serious money on the game, I would pick the Ravens. Mainly because of our lack of interior D-Line presence and the strength of your defense being in the secondary. But honestly I think this is as 50/50 of a game there has been in recent memory.

I love the ravens and the ravens flock but what a shitshow. Bills handled Baltimore. Screw Cleveland. Much love.
