Lamar Jackson

I actually think we solve 4 or 5 of these drops and we win the game, especially the ones where they would have been touchdowns.
Idk why people are scared to admit that lamar also threw some badly placed balls too. The one to snead across the middle was behind him, the one to andrews was far and high. He threw like 2 of them too low to hurst and rb.. yea they touched them so i guess theyre suppose catch them but he still threw some badly placed balls which didnt help our wrs at all.. cant just put all the blame on the wrs like lamar didnt throw some bad balls

The one Roberts missed should have been intercepted, or at least blocked away. It looked like he was distracted anticipating that would happen.

a couple were high, no question, but when you get your hands on the ball you have to come down with it. We aren't saying it could have been placed better. No one throws a perfect ball all the time.

For the most part this season, he has done a very good job at ball placement allowing for the ball to be in a good position for yac or throwing the football where only our receiver can get to the ball.

Is Lamar the only QB in the league that throws with his index finger on the nose of the football? Do you guys think that affects his accuracy somewhat?

I think the last one to Hurst that hit him in the back of the shoulder was just a matter of timing. That will come the more they play together.

The same idiots saying Lamar sucks for not doing well in that throwing challenge will probably say “it was just the Pro Bowl. Who cares?” since Lamar was named MVP of the game hahaha

I thought Kurt Warner talked about him having the exact same grip and the dude won a SB and was part of the greatest show on turf!

Did he? Nice! I just don’t really remember people talking about it and always wondered

Back when we first drafted Lamar the grip caught my attention. Hadn't really paid attention before so I did a google search and looked at images (think I searched something like: NFL QB throwing grips). Looking at the pictures, he's not. There's variation but a lot of QBs hold the ball similar. I think I remember Rivers, Mahomes, Brady, Warner, Wilson all had very similar grips.
