Your thoughts on his two deep completions (one to Andrews and the other to Brown)? I thought they were on the money and perfectly in stride.
Those passes to Andrews and Brown had tremendous touch

I don't understand why the run game is so much better with Lamar than Joe. Is it because they have to account for Lamar as a runner?
Or is it something more. Joe has never been good at selling ball fakes and Lamar can use his legs to help him make additional passing progressions.
You look at Joe on the sidelines and he knows he's gone.
I'll always appreciate him for the Super Bowl Win.

The Brown throw sort of took me by surprise . It was something I wasn't sure Lamar could do.
A big part of it is accounting for Lamar as a runner.
Not sure why, he did it plenty of times in college.

I just haven't seen much game film of him in college. They always show his incredible runs.
Highlights definitely show the runs, but game film shows everything. When watching film you also can tell he isn’t a run first qb and he goes through multiple reads. I had him in my top 20 and thought we would take him at 16

There's a pretty good film of his sophomore year game vs Syracuse on youtube - that was unbelievably impressive.
the mark andrews one was a good throw and perfect but he was so open that it didnt need to be and so it was low pressure
the negated one to brown was an absolute beauty and even better was the way he looked off the entire defence to create the opportunity for that play
ill post here part of what i posted on a different thread about the same thing and why the running game is so much more effective with lamar than joe
"here's 2 matt waldman breakdowns of the ravens running game based off the raiders game:

conceptually the running game is so different with lamar - the attention and numbers the threat of lamar gets creates opportunities for Gus inside and for bigger plays by jackson outside
here's some more examples of why this running game won't carry over to flacco from Michael Crawford of RSR

Well, Gus Edwards didn't actually start until Lamar did. That's the biggest thing, I think.
yea those were dots..he always had that.. even in college. what i dnt get is that he got a strong arm but somehow his throws be soft as shit when he throws short to intermediate routes.on that andrews deep ball, i thought he was gonna go to the check down cause thats what im used to seeing from joe

Lamar gets very unhappy when he doesn't do well or throws a pick.
He seems very determined to get better and I like his attitude.

It's a factor but the teams can just load the box and not worry about the perimeter runs.

The hardest throws to make are the piss easy wide open ones, that’s a fact.

That is just so not true
