Lamar Jackson

[Grim]

So why do people think Lamar has played his final game due to this tweet? I’m not understanding that narrative.

well fuck
even if we win he's not coming back this year

Ugh god damn it. So we’re looking at 3-6 month range without surgery

I feel Lamar would not have tweeted like this if he felt the Ravens were handling his injury status properly.
I really think there is bad blood on both sides .
He’s done as a Raven. I think the feeling is mutual between him and the Ravens.

I’ve been pro trading Lamar for a while but I don’t think that happens. Really feels like this is a “coming to Jesus” moment for Lamar. I’m thinking this helps get the deal in the off-season

I hope your optimism is correct but I just think he’s done here.

Lamar is a slow healer

he called it severe "bordering grade 3"

Bordering but not Grade 3 .what’s that mean ?
Just shut him down man

Players can't and shouldn't disclose injury status. It should come from the team. Sometimes it's just worse than a team wants to let on. That's fair. Yet there's the whole competitive advantage of not fully disclosing and I respect that too. I think they knew all along that it was unlikely he was going to play again. Now it just seems like gamesmanship.

Yeah I’m not so sure on this one. I mean what would they gain by downplaying a season ending injury to the franchise QB? If they knew all along wouldn’t they IR him and maybe bring in another warm body? IDK, if they knew all along I’m even more pissed.

It means that we can maybe hope for him to practice tomorrow, and for the divisional

Yeah kinda weird. If they’re resting Lamar then why? What’s the purpose of hiding an injury? If you do want to trade him his value is now lower. I don’t think this smells like the reality. If he’s hurt his trade value is bound to be lower anyway. I just don’t think the entire trade scenario makes sense. With Hollywood and Hurst we didn’t know they wanted to be traded until they were

So if Lamar’s injury was this bad why didn’t we IR him and bring in another QB that’s better than Huntley. ?

Something stinks about all of this. Maybe Lamar wants to be traded.

Doubt it. Either he is just not durable, or these are just freak incidents

I'm not sure I see it the same way, Lamar's Dad... I wouldn't be surprised if he were happy to take the payday of the Tag to try to have a healthy year in cementing an even larger contract. He bet on himself this year and it failed. I don't think he wants any regrets. But if we pay the tag and he winds up injured again next year on the tag, he damages his ability to get the record deal he's angling for and weakens our position in getting trade value. If it ain't done soon, I feel like the die is cast for him to be traded on draft night.

I think Lamar is more of a competitor than anything else. Getting paid for one year won’t help the Ravens get him weapons (assuming they really are going to go crazy trying)

 

[gtalk12]

Feel like that tweet was unnecessary, what’s the team supposed to think

That he tried to get healthy but couldn’t

Lamar is a slow healer

give it a rest - that is an awful take based in awful reading comprehension
this same page tells you that for athletes it would normally take 8 weeks...

at least read the thing you're gonna post before using it to say something needlessly wrong

That he tried to get healthy but couldn’t

I don’t like the way the end was phrased. My fans, and still hopeful we still have a chance

I still think he'll be a Raven next season. I'm standing on this hill until proven otherwise. I think he's gonna get tagged, but I do get a sneaky feeling that he's gonna get a long-term extension.

Why read it when it says in bold print 3-4 weeks right up front.
So athletes it takes longer to heal , those that are in top condition ? Horseshit
