Hall of Famer
Going through and doing a review one month later. The offense we ran was a gimmick, and it needed to be with how bad the two interior olinemen were who singlehandedly wrecked our season(fuck you Hurst and Skura. Average starters my ass). Lamar had flashes of absolute brilliance in both facets. I highly disagree with @JoeyFlex5's assessment of him. He's never going to be a 4000 yard guy but I could see him with 3500 passing yards as soon as next year.
Most of my concerns with him right now are fixable. Fumbles. That's fine. The mechanics have already been improving and when he's had time to set his feet he's had several MONEY throws. The pocket awareness is awesome, and the decision making isn't bad. I have the utmost confidence in James Urban and company to continue developing him with mechanics. And if he progresses at the rate he's been going, we could be talking about a franchise QB here.
We could be talking about an elite QB if my biggest concern is something he improves on. If he can learn how to read defenses pre-snap and post-snap adaquately, I think that will make him unstoppable.
Of course. We do have to build the roster around him. What he needs more than anything right now is a real C. Our oline did not beat people off of the ball and Skura was a fucking joke. And yes @RavensMania, I am never going to let you hear the end of that. He was an albatross this season and the tape supports it. But other than that I think the foundation is set. The two TEs are going to do very well for him, and Snead should be a top priority to resign in 2020. Words cannot describe how underrated Snead is. From that point, we are going to need a deep threat too. But right now, in order of importance, we need a C, RB, LG, and then another WR.
