They were yelling at the coaches because they were calling designed runs on 3rd and long in the red zone...

Damn you people really will try to say absolutely anything to hate on Lamar. What a bunch of shit

The absolute best one is the CONSTANT talk of him hitting Alex Lewis in the head and how that’s an indication of him being a bad passer... I’m sorry, how many of joes balls have been batted at the line?

You can see Harbaugh is working to push off any attempts by the media to stir a QB controversy. His presser was about as salty as I’ve seen him be post-victory.
He’ll avoid controversy this week by the fact that Flacco is likely just not going to be ready. We’ll get another look at Jackson and this time with what will likely be more of a passing approach.
If we win and Lamar looks decent but not great the controversy will be unavoidable the following week.

Gotta give John some credit when it comes to Lamar, he’s made it apparent to the media he’s a QB since the moment we drafted him. To him that shit is asinine.

And very telling since we know harbaughs tendency to doubt, punish, and handhold rookies.
Is that a challenge

It's the fact.
Whats crazy is that it even looked that way during the preseason.. im confused to why they just now tried him out when lamar also gets his first start.. maybe cause he actually hits the holes rather than dancing?

Lewis is also 6'6" while Lamar is 6'3". I don't understand why people are using that against him as a passer.

I can't speak based off fact but I would assume issues with when he decides to throw when there's interior pressure just leads to bad timing. Also the pocket collapsing from the interior gaps probably also leads to guys being able to put their hands up and knock balls down more easily

The problem is that everyone parrots cliches about mobile QBs and when they finally get a taste of him they cling on to the one thing they can so they can say “I TOLD YA SO” because they’re all so old school and believe pocket passers are the only way
which is why lamar changing throwing angles in his first start to avoid the rush and clutter in the passing lanes is crazy to see given that joe never has done that in 11 years

The thing is, Joe has done it for years now. It's a combo of lack of mobility, lack of timely reads, failing to release on time. Some of those were probably unavoidable due to crap play/route running by receivers over the years but majority you have to put on 6'6" QB.
Yes how dare I not kiss the ring and say he is going to be better than Rodgers after 1 game where he did okay against a bad D that has been playing bad for a month.
Okay I'll talk like the rest of the forum and say that if only our coaches weren't holding him back he could set NFL Yards record and TD record in just last 6 games
