Remember those draft picks for Watson?

Me if we traded for Lamar

I would give up the picks in a heartbeat to get him, but I was also excited about Baker, so don’t trust my judgement.

Lamar Jackson sucks.

Colt Mccoy had more yards passing in the first half than Lamar had in the whole game vs us.

Lamar isn't getting us a Superbowl. 

Colt lost.  Lamar won.  It's not that complicated.

Just draft one. Giving up that kind of capital and then a mega contract is a huge hurdle. It's one thing to pay your own guy after those rookie years and a complete other to trade years of draft capital and then sign a huge guaranteed contract. Add in it's going to be year 1 on a new crew and that is a hell no from me. Let the new people come in, get established, learn some basic lessons making rookie mistakes and then take stock on weather such a giant move would not end up turning toxic.

It makes sense in Madden but not for us next year. Do not want. He is a winner but I hate the thought of being on the buying end of those type deals.

kidding aside I like Lamar but that's a tough pill to swallow for any QB especially with a big payday due. it's hard to construct a team around a QB if the QB takes up so much of the cap and costed 3 1sts to acquire on top of that. If we're picking high in this draft I'd prefer just swinging at a rookie, having a good young QB on a rookie contract is invaluable in this NFL. 

There's an awful lot of truth here. The guy is phenomenal right now (and seems like a really great person in addition) but that's an awful lot of eggs in one basket, not just the money (which will be astronomical) but draft picks as well...

As much as he'd look great walking out in our uniform on opening day next year, he's just one bad hit from being a massive liability for years to come. Perhaps developing a rookie QB is really the way to go, especially from a budgetary standpoint. We've got some building to do elsewhere.

And I still want to see Matt Corral out there. He could be the real deal, we just don't know yet.

I wouldn't mind him here but these dreams people have of trading for him are no different than Ron Rivera calling up the Chiefs asking about Patrick Mahomes availability.

[Mr. Scot]

How about we just give up one first round pick?

Specifically, by using it to draft a rookie to build around.

Can we just use them to trade for a QB that deserves it?

 

Lamar Jackson is so good that they just beat a 3-8 Carolina team 13-3 and 10 of those points came on very short fields. If our game plan had been to stretch the field vertically and run the ball I feel we may have have a chance to win. Instead Mcadoo packed the box even tighter by going short and run, instead of sideline to sideline or end zone to end zone.

You’re judging him on one game?  Any given sunday.  
Look at the entire body of work, he’s elite

there are two things we need to teach our offensive linemen

1. to start kicking the DL opposite them in the nuts and 
2. to have them trained to pull out assault rifles and immediately open fire on our qb if he dares leave the pocket

based on 2. i don't think lamar is a good scheme fit here

This is a terrible post. Take a break.

 Fitts is probably on the phone with the Jets trying to trade a bunch of picks for Wilson. Seems like something he would do.

Go look at his numbers. He has only broken 3k one time in his career and he barely did that.

You keep him in the pocket and he's done.

What did he manage against our depleted secondary?

Nah that was all Rhule but Fitt gets the stink for executing the trade
