I've never been that impressed with Lamar.  He hasn't help the Ravens with a damn thing. Granted he's better that what we currently have but not by much.

The fact that the Ravens haven't locked down this former MVP to a long contract tells me they're unsure about him too.

They may be, but the point remains. Lamar is in a different universe vs. Sam Darnold and PJ Walker.

Lamar has had a great coach and mu h better teams than the Panthers have fielded in a decade.  Why would they trade him of he's still a franchise qb? 

If he can't get the Ravens to the AFC championship game regularly why on earth do you think he can drag this rag tag bunch to the playoffs? 

It's the same thinking that had everyone sure that getting Watson was going to somehow fix everything. 

I was simply responding to your statement that he's not much of any better than what we currently have. That was an absurd statement.

If you don't want Lamar, okay fine. But he's MILES better than what we currently have. You're talking about a former MVP still in his prime vs. the worst NFL starting QB in recent years.

Also, Lamar is no Cam Newton.  I've been looking for his replacement myself and I've yet to see anything close coming out in the past 5 years.

My hope is that they will eventually find someone that is very damn close. I dream that we somehow landed Lawrence like everyone else. After him it was a toss up.

This year I cannot get excited about any off them. But that is where this staff will go most likely.  I just hope the kid is worth it.

I over exaggerated yes. But my point was he is not good enough to get this team over the hump.

I agree Lamar is no Cam but he's definitely no Darnold either. There's a lot of room in between and Lamar is there, granted a lot closer to the Cam side of the spectrum than the Darnold side.

Jordan Love stinks! I wouldn’t have given a third for him when he was coming out in the draft. 

[DaveThePanther2008]

From what I saw of Love when he did play.  He was way over his head.  He looked lost and the Packer offense was dismal. 

NO NO NO NO NO

No Thanks

Love has talent, but Green Bay preferred to pay a 36/37 year old QB a ton of money vs letting their first round pick have his shot. I know Rodgers is special, but so was Favre and they let him go for their younger Rodgers back in the day. If GB doesn’t think he is the guy and is trading him for nickels on the dollar that’s a red flag. Similar to what the Jets did with Darnold, except Sam had a larger sample size to see how bad he was/is.

Yep

If the Packers thought he was a franchise QB, they would have taken multiple firsts for Rodgers and moved on. Hard pass. 

[WOW!!]
