But remember folks. Lamar was supposed to be figured out after the playoff game last season. Bust. Fluke season. One-hit wonder. Won't last. Can't throw. NONE of these doubters/naysayers/haters/etc. took into account a player's room for improvement, intangibles, and work ethic (well work ethic is a form of intangible but you get the point).
Very rarely do we see perfect passer ratings in today's league. Did it in his first game as a starter in his first full season. Remember, the Dolphins players said that all they need to is have Lamar play QB. B-b-b-but it was the Dolphins. Sure, the early part of the season took some time for the offense to get it together. How about outplaying the "frontrunner for MVP" in his own house (Russ). How about making the "greatest defense of all-time" (Pats) looking silly? As if one perfect passer rating wasn't good enough, let's go for another. Outplaying the likes of Brady, Watson, (arguably) Jimmy G, Goff, Josh "I would take him over Lamar any day" Allen, and Baker.
I always thought Lamar would improve, but NEVER in my wildest dreams did I think he'd improve to these levels this quick in his young career. But like the rest of the team, this season has been reset. Next weekend will be the opportunity to silence more naysayers who think that he's a regular season QB. And no, I NEVER forgot Francesa's comments about Lamar. Opposing fanbases and rivals alike better hope that Lamar doesn't continue his progression as a passer and we don't find that bonafide outside receiving threat opposite of Hollywood.
