Add to that we’re the only team in the nfl that can legit get away with running consistently in a 2 minute drill and maintain that balance throughout the drive
But we only did that one time right?

I think that's the one area we're untested, two minute drill where we have to have a score. It's bound to come sooner or later.........or maybe not. lol
I genuinely think if we had had more opportunities earlier in the year we might have kneeled for the end of the half there - I think we really wanted the practice

Vick is way more comparable to rg3 than Lamar, plain and simple. Nowhere near as refined or elusive a runner, nowhere near the same pocket presence or progression ability. Lamar’s all around skill set is Steve young like. The comparison starts and stops with a fast black strong armed qb. There’s been plenty of those, none have been as refined as Lamar thus far, running and passing wise.

We put the success of the entire defense on one player, and we force that player to do this many things in about 1 second:
1. Determine that he himself is the read
2. Make a 50/50 guess on the option
3. Execute the play IF the guess was correct
This doesn’t even factor in play action, which believe me is in the defenders head as he’s thinking this through, wondering if he needs to pressure, contain, or possibly bump or jump a jet motion/orbit route.
I think we just have to see a lil bit more from lamar imo.. rememer, at one point Cam was on his way to the top.

I’m just talking about skill set, not accomplishments, which btw Vick doesn’t have much of to begin with
I agree.. Vick was fun to watch though and made a big impact on the nfl

I agree he could be fun to watch, but I think Vick was much more popular and had more of an impact around Atlanta and maybe with NFC fans. I mean his teams only had winning seasons a couple three times and his career stats are pretty much eh. Other than his VT career he was known best around here for getting his leg broken in a pre season game against the Ravens, and of course the dog fighting crap.
He was the closest thing to being the allen iverson of football for some..

Well @Deebo813 he may have been Iverson to some, but our Lamar Jackson will be Michael Jordan to every NFL fan in a couple of years but he already is to me and some in the flock! I'm being absolutely honest with you about this young man.

The best way to describe Lamar is to combine two players. He throws like an early Aaron Rodgers (getting there quickly both in terms of throws and reading the field) and runs like a 6'2" Barry Sanders or Gale Sayers. That is a lethal combination imho.

In order for me to consider him the NFL's Michael Jordan, he's gonna have to win a MINIMUM 6 rings in which he needs to be the SB MVP in each season. We'll see.
Naw its too late to be jordan. Jordan impact was like discovering the world wasnt flat.lamar impact will be big if be keeps it up

Would debunking the myth “mobile QBs can’t win the Super Bowl” be enough?
In his first three seasons MJ was seen as a ball hog that wasn’t tough enough to get over the Pistons. Seasons that have over 80 games. I’m not willing to say Lamar is the MJ of football yet but it’s certainly not “too late” for him to earn that kind of epithet.
If anything it’s too early.

No, he'll have to retire, come back and win SB again.
