Lamar Jackson

[UPennChem]

If the Ravens are truthfully totally intent on signing Lamar long term, then they are already fools for not signing him last year.

If they wait for Herbert and especially Burrow to sign, Lamar's will be way higher than it would have been at the beginning of last offseason. That's just simply the way the NFL works.

Lamar might want to wait for their contracts and force them to make him play on the tag. They're prepared for it. They've for a couple of years been making sure they can tag him. But that's such a BS strategy. Destroys this team's window.

Lamar is probably not going to have the longest career in the NFL. Probably not gonna be playing at 40. Maybe not even at 35. The goal is to have LJ8 in his prime and win as many SBs as you can with your transcendent talent.

But no, they're pretending like he's gonna play forever and we need to be "competitive" for the next 10 years with him

If you ask me, they've already screwed up 4 yrs of his prime by not giving him the weapons to excel in the regular and postseason. Wideouts that can consistently beat coverage and get open. More importantly, catch contested balls. In other words, if he had a Diggs, Chase, Hopkins, or Cheetah, he would literally be unbeatable.

Ray is the man. I'd give him a HC job if he wanted it.

 

[rossihunter2]

one of the big problems in this offence until early 2022 was that we only tried to throw the ball downfield lol

Roman's offence was a running offence with vertical passing concepts - one of the big criticisms you could have of him was that we ran too many vertically based route concepts and not much else in the passing game

There’s a reason Ray didn’t last long as an analyst. lol

if Ray was head coach there would never be good enough MLB play on the team and he would be drafting one every year, in the first round.

He wouldn't be GM. what are you talking about? he should be lbs coach, and mentor Roquan like Singletary mentored him.

There’s also a reason why Ray will never be a coach. He would be great however as tackling coordinator. ;-)

So, how is Harbaugh more suited to be a HC? What exactly does he know more about the passing game than Ray? What kind of stupid arguments are these?

"He isn't offensive or defensive wizard but he is a great coach because he motivates players"

Well, let me tell you a story about one guy who did Harbaugh's job as a player, while Harbaugh was coaching....

Saw a mock where we trade Lamar to Atlanta for their 8 and 44, 2024 1st rounder, 2024 second rounder and Grady Jarrett for Lamar and we select Levis lol. Turn Grady into Terrell and we might be onto something

If he were to leave, I think the Falcons have a good chance of signing him.

 

[Michael M.]

Well, even going beyond the bit of creativity the 49ers also have possibly the best WR combo, and the best receiving TE, and the best receiving runningback. When you combine that with a creative HC and a patient, smart QB like Purdy it's nearly unstoppable. The 49ers have more talent on offense than any of the remaining teams, and nearly all of it is home grown.

The genius of Shanahan, imo.

@Michael M. congrats on becoming a veteran

He definitely not gifted in the spoken word. Lol. But to be fair his point was that Lamar needs WR help, which I think we can all agree.

Yes, I finally graduated!

Bring back his Louisville offense. Let him thrive.

Unless the Ravens sign him to a long-term deal, all we are doing here is spinning our wheels.
