I don't get why Bateman is a non factor through 3 weeks
I think hes playing on a really low snapcount. I barely see that fool on the field

We’re not going anywhere until we get some consistency.At this point we know who he is with the ball and I doubt it’s changing. Positive side of that is he can steal some first downs with his legs, negative side he has games where he can’t hold onto the ball
You hit it on the head Tank. When was the last time Lamar has put on a good performance for a string of games? He's consistent at being inconsistent. Has all the tools to be one of the best but just continually making dumb errors.We’re not going anywhere until we get some consistency.
Would be nice, but at this point in Lamar’s career what you see is what you get and it’s not changing. But that’s still good enough to win a superbowl if the team gets hot. 2012 was certainly all over the place and then Flacco turned reincarnate Joe Montana. Maybe Lamar can do the sameWe’re not going anywhere until we get some consistency.
Either they're still managing his snaps or he's a JAG.I don't get why Bateman is a non factor through 3 weeks
Do you think Lamar played badly today? He had a couple of boneheaded plays - trying to tuck it with bodies all around, and not throwing it away late - but 101 yds rushing with 2 TDs and 71% completions (which would have been 74% if Likely had caught the ball that hit his chest, and 77% if Zay hadn't been tackled on a route) is a pretty good game.W

Meanwhile the Phins put up 70 on the broncos. The Phins are consistent.We’re not going anywhere until we get some consistency.
I think he’s been effective and efficient from a stat book standpoint but the mental mistakes that don’t show there (aside from the fumbles) that are the bigger issue. Didn’t really have that issue last week but his decision making outside of the passing game in weeks 1 and now 3 has been questionable.Do you think Lamar played badly today?

i just wish Monken had called a few more passes.
No, I think he did ok. I'm not blaming this loss on him although his mistakes were costly. My point is great QBs are not consistently making the same errors game after game. I hated the playcalling when we had the lead to finish the game. I told my wife we would lose we gave them too much time.Do you think Lamar played badly today?

Fair question. Personally, I dont expect much from any Wrs that the Ravens draft.I don't get why Bateman is a non factor through 3 weeks
There are different ways to be a great QB. Brady or Manning wouldn't keep making the same mental error, but they would consistently fail to escape from pressure or maximize scrambling opportunities game after game. Their lack of athleticism was accepted as part of their game but why do Lamar's occassional boneheaded plays mean that he can't be great?My point is great QBs are not consistently making the same errors game after game.
They definitely seem to be managing snapsEither they're still managing his snaps or he's a JAG.
