Lamar Jackson

Stop wearing me out, dude! I make a 3 sentence declaration of sorts. Then, I need to contend with a 5 paragraph response from you! I'm not subjecting myself to this torture. I resolutely refrain from engaging with you. I immediately go into a meditative posture after your responses to my posts. Breathe in.... breathe out.... breathe in.... breathe out... and on and on. Lol!
Sorry, there was just so much that was objectively wrong in your post, I couldn't find a way to eviscerate you in a shorter fashion. The evisceration has to remain in the length it was.

If you can't take the heat, sprint that ass far, far, far away from the kitchen.
 
So is jalen hurts better than lamar? We crowned lamar the best even better than brady, pat and arod after his 2019 season..so id assume that hurts will be considered a top 3 potentially 1 if he wins mvp?
 
Kyler Murray just had the injury everyone said Lamar would have
Bro let’s not throw stones in a glass house. Lamar hasn’t exactly been the epitome of health these last two seasons

We’ll see come playoff time. Lamar always struggled in the dance, curious how Jalen does. So far not so good

I swear when you have free time and your feeling it, it’s absolutely game on
 
1. There's really no such thing as "big markets or small markets" with Pro Athletes anymore. LeBron made a brand out of playing in Cleveland. Patrick Mahomes is going to make a brand playing in KC for decades. Neither are big markets. You got nationally recognized NBA players who play in miniscule markets routinely.
Everybody is global these days. Really doesn't matter what team or city you play in. The days of like "regional marketing" are long over. Playing in NY doesn't get you anything extra. In fact, all it really does is get you more scrutiny.
2. Rams really won't and can't be in on Lamar in the next 12-18 months. They don't have the picks or $ to sign him, and no real avenue to acquire either. Really doesn't matter how much money you have to spend when you don't have the assets to acquire in a trade.
3. I don't think Lamar wants a long term deal at all in the next 1-2 years, so the contract discussions are kind of moot for me.
4. Saying Steve may sell the team in the next 5-7 years isn't really going out on a limb. Dude is 62 and a multi-billionaire. If he wants to get out of the business side, and there's no interest to keep it "in the family", it would make plenty of sense to sell.
Ownership transitions mean very little to me. It's just a billionaire selling it to another billionaire. I doubt they're going to tear the place down and move it back to Indianpolis.
And keep in mind, in most cases, these guys don't own 100% of the franchise anyway, so a "sale", in a lot of cases, involves selling off portions of ownership, not the whole thing.

Precisely how Steve became primary Owner to begin with.
I'm only responding to the ownership transitions part, because I generally agree with the other parts of your post. To me it means an ownership change is a huge deal. As a past Redskins fan, we went from a terrific owner in Jack Kent Cook to Dan Snyder. That ownership change made a huge difference. No he wasn't going to move the franchise.

an individual making a brand isnt the samething at all.. lebron is the market and has been since highschool. Him making a brand in clev doesnt take away that clev isnt a small market. Bigger market teams literally get more exposure.. if clev goes 0-82, it wont be a big deal but let lakers go 0-82… the world gonna come to an end…like you say, it gets you more scrutiny ( unless youre lebron cause media loves him and gonna make excuses for him) because more is expected out of you due to the fact that the market has a history of doing well..

I think Lamar is better overall, but honestly Hurts isn't that far behind. A top 5 qb vs someone around 9 or 10. Hurts is absolutely good enough for the Eagles to win a SB with him.

Lamar is better but Hurts has everything around him to succeed, from coaches to O LIne, to weapons. Would Lamar play within structure as well as Hurts has, if he ever had a structure worth playing within? I hope we get to see, one day.

Hurts being QB 9 or 10 got me wondering - who are the top 10 QBs these days?

The top 5 is easy - Mahomes, Allen, Herbert, Burrow and Lamar - but after that? Who's between 5 - 10? The old guys are aging out and the young guys (Lawrence, Fields) aren't quite ascending yet. Rodgers and Brady are probaby still there, Hurts, Dak, Geno Smith has been playing at that level, Tua's stats are at that level. You could argue almost any one of them is QB6

I mean OK, but Cleveland got more exposure than LA did once Kobe was gone and LeBron was in Cleveland. The "exposure" comes in the form of wherever the star player is playing. Memphis gets more exposure than the Knicks do right now.

Tends to matter less in the NFL because people don't really care about individual players. They care about football, the concept.

Baker Mayfield the perfect example. Whores himself out constantly in national commercials. Dude played in Cleveland.

This year... Tua, Hurts and Dak are in the top 10. Then it'd be between Rodgers, Brady, Cousins, Goff and Geno. Jared Goff having quietly a much better year than people realize.

As far as players, yes.. they bring the exposure to the teams.. however, you take two avg guys and the one that plays for the bigger market will get more exposure..

Look at zach martin vs marshal yanda.. although he was actually good, youd assume he was actually better than yanda the way media gave him so much exposure because he played for the cowboys.. there are really fans who dnt even know who yanda is
