But you say he can’t throw “at all”. That’s unfair. He makes some great throws and makes some bad throws. Doesn’t mean he can’t throw “at all”.

If Lamar can’t throw at all then I guess baker can’t throw at all either because doesn’t Baker have multiple 3 interception games...? Lamar doesn’t have that lol. If Lamar doesn’t get any leeway than no one else does either.

Every qb can throw lol.. you taking it to far man cmon.. baker is 3x more accurate than lamar. Can lamar throw? Yes, he is a qb.. but lets get real, his accuracy needs some work. Well im gonna say mechanics cause if you arent accurate, you just arent accurate and nothing will fix that...

I’m only taking it too far because you’re wording it poorly lol. I know baker is definitely a better passer but that wasn’t my point. You’re not giving Lamar any credit whatsoever. If you just say he is inaccurate half the time and needs to work on his passing, then sure. Everyone will agree with you. But when you say stuff like “he can’t throw at all” and stuff like that, people aren’t going to take you seriously.

I'm sure you can. The most alarmingly bad throws I can think of happened in the first couple games. In recent games, he's thrown a little behind on a couple occasions and does seem to periodically try to put to much of a soft touch on the ball and comes up a little short. So, I think he is improving game to game and - I know it is hard to imagine - but the 21 year old rookie has a number of things that he needs to work on.

I guess I'm not sure where you are going with this - other than try to fire people up who are pretty fucking happy that his being moved into the starting role saved this team's season. Do you think none of this is fixable? If so, don't call yourself a big fan of his - just say he has no chance to amount to anything, tell all of us fools to enjoy the little run now because he's going to crash and burn and we'll be searching for a new QB next off season.

Ive been giving lamar credit before we even drafted him.. im not like most, i wont bash a player then soon as we draft him, pretend like he is the next great thing lol..lamar is a decent qb. His accuracy is bad. The system we are running is literally perfect for him right now while he develops.. i just dont want him ending up like cam. Cam left alot on the table.

Just a question regarding your thought on how he holds the ball. What do you think he is doing wrong. Not everyone holds the ball the same way. There isn’t one way of holding the ball that is correct. What do you think he should be doing?

Btw, no one has called him a franchise qb yet. Not saying you said we have, but the point is we all know he needs some work on his mechanics, but we also acknowledge that they have improved significantly.

It looks like majority of his grip is coming from the top of the ball.. idk its kinda hard to explain but when i see him hold the ball, his throwing hand is gripped on higher towards the point and his other hand is holding the bottom point at times.. it looks really akward

His has all the perks of a franchise qb.. only lack is his accuracy right now.
 
People seem to forget that Lamar practiced with the 2's and 3's in the offseason lol. Of course he's going to be way off at times when he's playing with the starters. Give him an offseason with the 1's and let's talk.

And @Deebo813 this is something you do often, I like your input more often than not, you’re not Winchester or Danny D and you’re a quality poster, but your analysis on certain players is just wayyyy overblown most of the time, exaggerating the bad and ignoring the good, you do same with Humphrey.

It’s not just when you watch games though lol, like it’s no heat of the moment thing, you’ll be saying this shit middle of the week
 
We cannot get cocky. We are favored but the Chargers are no pushover....

Brett Kollman picked us to lose again(man he really hates us).

We pressure Rivers consistently and shut down the run again we should win but this team is a different chargers team. Just like how the cheifs are different..

Well lets hope I am wrong. Impulse pick against us.
 
So I watched First Take and the Stephen A. Smith show and it seems that he likes us over the Chargers. Ladies and gentlemen, expect us to be one-and-done. Accept the inevitable.

Im a big lamar fan but im not gonna ignore the fact that he cant throw.. yes he makes some good throws every so often but his accuracy has been inconsistent and for that, he cant throw

Peyton Manning threw 25 picks his rookie year. Terrible thrower.
