Lamar Jackson

Recommended Posts

Lamar literally is used in a depressingly pathetic way that it's irritating. You literally know everytime he's on the field it's some cheap gimmick run play that you can pretty much send the house for.

They never let the man pass or actually be a quarterback. On the Ravens, he's used like a poor man's taysom hill instead of being an actual QB for them.

Sadly, for a talented passer that could easily bring a new deadly wrinkle through his arm, he's being used mainly as a gimmicky toy.

Every time I’ve seen them they bring him in and he runs a read option play and they do it 3-4 times per game. He has been pretty dangerous with it too but if we aren’t prepared for a few read option plays then we should just disband the team.

How is Lamar Jackson a poor mans Taysom Hill?

I mean he's pretty much used in that way. A gimmick player. 

Didn't mean to imply his skillset is like Hill, because he's far superior in every facet. Yet, the Ravens use him like Hill and a poorer version at that.

I would guess they are setting up a pass play at some point though. Hope its not this weekend.

That's a shame.  But good for us I suppose.  I had good seats to the NC State-Louisville game last year.  When he gets outside the pocket it's a scary thing.  But he did miss some wide open receivers.

Yeah, ultimately I'll be surprised if Jackson makes it as an NFL QB and I honestly didn't see him as a 1st rounder. He was a GREAT college QB, but he's a really erratic passer. All the Carolina fans that bitch about Cam's accuracy would lose their minds watching Jackson play QB.

If I remember correctly he actually had a legit passing play on 3rd down against the Saints. 

But that’s the only one I’ve seen. Typically they just go option read with him and it can come at any time.

Yup. Saw them do this a couple of weeks ago and felt the same way. The drafted a heisman winning QB and are shortening his career by just using him as a battering ram until Flacco decides to retire. He's one helluva of a sport because it's honestly disrespectful.

    • It's not only about the draft spots, the scheduling is a huge factor. We already have a tough 2026 schedule by playing the North divisions, that's possibly 7 playoff contenders there and a few true SB contenders between the Lions, Packers, Vikings, Bears, Ravens, Bengals, and Steelers (Browns will still suck lol), while also pulling the AFC West for the 17th game. Let's just say for the sake of argument we are going to be true contenders in 2026 in both scenarios Would you rather go 9-8 and to make the playoffs as the last WC or worst division winner, lose in the first round and then have to add likely the Eagles/Commanders, 49ers/Rams, and Chiefs/Chargers to an already tough schedule because we have a 1st/2nd round finish this year, while picking 19th in the draft (where the worst playoff team picks) or Or lose an extra game to finish 8-9, while ending up in 3rd (obviously need Falcons/Bucs to get a WC spot) and miss the playoffs, but then get to add likely the Cowboys/Giants, Seahawks/Cardinals, Broncos/Raiders to the schedule while picking 13th in the draft (the highest an 8-9 team picked this year). I can understand why some people would just want to go to the playoffs again, and I can't fault that thinking.  But I'm always a bigger picture person and looking at what is best for the future of the franchise and winning a SB, not my immediate feelings that game/season.   So I'm taking those 3 SIGNIFICANTLY easier games and the 6 better draft spots. If we're a true contender in 2026, those 3 games based on divisional finish could very well be the difference of a 1 vs whatever seed.  Right now the top teams in the NFC are the teams who play in places you don't want to have road playoff games at... GB, Detroit, Philly are some of the toughest stadiums to play in, especially if cold weather games for the outdoors ones.  Give me the few extra easier games to hopefully make the difference in getting home field advantage. Making the playoffs to just lose in the first round isn't worth the first scenario to me when the alternative is losing maybe one or two more games while looking better while doing so.  I can stomach those extra losses in a much improved season when it's for the betterment of our future.  
    • We also watched Cam take Carolina to the SB but how much did his career change when he went to the Pats? See how that works? You create a post just to rag on player on another team just because you hate. You love to do this stuff. I've seen it for a few years. You are one of the main problems on this site. Not just y0u but you're definitely one of them. This topic should be in the nfl general chat. As a mod I would think you would understand that but no. The mods need mods around here.  This is for Panther's material. Can a real mod move this thread to it's proper place please?
