Lamar Jackson
- Thread starter Ice Bowl
- Start date
given how defences are already finding it difficult - if his completion percentage gets consistently up around 60% or better we're gonna be a really tough offence to stop
haha - the fake was fine i guess but the edge guys didnt buy it for a second as you can see by Ingram getting into the screen lane - the chargers defended that play so well - they killed the screen before it had a chance and clogged the edge enough so that lamar couldnt get anything keeping it either
but yeah the poise on that play was awesome - the ball fake, the instant read on the screen and the decision to pull the ball down was something that wont show up in the box score but he got back to the LoS and basically that play was a throwaway without passing the ball
From Warren Sharp. Lamar Jackson has the no. 2 passer rating when playing from behind
Surprise! Lamar Jackson has the #2 passer rating (121) when trailing, trailing only Patrick Mahomes.

im as big a lamar fan as any
but lamar's sample size is a total of 53 snaps... and as indicative of his talents as it may be it's not really a large enough sample that you can make any kind of conclusion except to remark at maybe why the sample size is so small...
at which point you could argue that lamar's offensive style means that the ravens are unlikely to ever be behind by a large amount which would naturally mean we trail less than other teams all things being equal
Thanks for the deflation, but your small sample size statement is very true.
i mean to put it in context - that's less than a game's worth of offensive snaps through 6 games
it's not an invalid or inaccurate stat but it's just very inconclusive at this point

Thinking it was the fourth down play, Crab was open and the ball sailed out of the EZ, uncatchable. Also thinking Crab was flagged for OPI?
ooh lol that play was a mess start to finish - but i dont remember that being a fade - could be wrong though

All very true. But the fact is, he is doing fantastic with the opportunities that he is given. As long as people like Sapp aren't using those stats to make Lamar out to be bigger than he is, we should be very happy with those numbers.

I couldn't agree more! Glad for the win last night of course; but I was pissed that they weren't allowing Lamar to beat the Chargers defense with his arm more. That pass to Andrews for a TD was on the mark and I finally got to see a receiver catch a pass on the run for a TD. Finally! Oh, was it a beautiful thing!
no pun intended?

Maaan! I've been up since 6:30 a.m. and it's 11:30 p.m. I'm allowed to miss one every now and then my brother! Lol!

Can't wait for Jackson to improve so that this becomes a regular occurrence. That Jackson-Andrews connection is only going to become more deadly.

Pretty sure it was a fade, It was at least treated like on, crab back corner, highpoint touch pass, it just went way too high and way too hard.
Think 4th down super bowl 47... same receiver, similar route, pushing off, ball sailing into the goddamn parking lot
on first watch i just thought he was basically throwing it away (which would also be a mistake given that it was 4th down)
I think he completion will def get higher than 60%. Because he doesnt make bad decisions, i think he will automatically get above 60%.. if his accuracy improves i wanna see 65... edit, 65 a lil high lol
