If the Ravens are moving on from Lamar should we knock on that door?

Two things: #1 The Ravens are not going to let QB Lamar Jackson go. #2 Even if they did, the Panthers are still in a somewhat of a rebuild mode and cannot afford him.

 

theres is real smoke about ravens not wanting to pay him top 3 money.....Its possible to tag him this and the next for cheaper.....maybe during work out some trade. 

The history shows running QBs have much less careers.

I agree and I do member you being one of the few that didnt want Watson before the tiny towel deal....

What i dont get is *IF* I am trading up for your pick, why do i tell you its for a QB??? Its for a player. Sorta like if you call catering service and tell them its for a wedding, the price is 35% more.....so you have to lie in order to avoid the wedding tax. super dumb.... Its my business whom Im drafting....

If people have a list of your dietary needs, they'll probably have a good idea of what you're going to order from the caterer.

Everybody knows what we need. We could go into the draft every day from here on out telling people that we're looking for a middle linebacker and nobody's gonna buy it.

Yea I know its hard to hide. Still if its known a QB is the target, people lose their combined minds about the trade package. My main point is it shouldnt matter, I just what the rights to draft a player and/or feed 200 people.

Regardless of what happens with him and the Ravens, i personally would not want the Panthers to go after him considering the overall cost and the other factors involved.

I live in Baltimore so I have probably seen most of Lamar's games.  I get the concerns I am not dismissing them but the guy is a clear undeniable talent and deserves a hard look.  He is still young and he can become more disciplined while staying exciting.  

People in this thread have said he is basically good for half a season and for only a few more years..that line is bullypucky to me.  

 

 

Name one professional athlete who has been giving a huge guaranteed contract and then changed his behavior to become MORE disciplined.

There comes a time in EVERY NFL players career when they need to start relying on their brain and arm more than their legs.  Running quarterbacks are going to regress as runners over time and often their bodies give out from all of the hits.  If they have been able to make up for inconsistent passing abilities ie Cam by their overall athleticism and running it will come back to haunt them later in their careers.  I have not watched much of Jackson to be quite honest so I guess my question would be, does he have the consistency when it comes to accurately throwing the football and making the correct reads?  If so and you can design an offense that he only runs when absolutely necessary then he may be worth it, but if not then I would say no.  The threat of a QB running is a great thing to have, but it should be the exception.  Josh Allen is going to need to learn this as well or he will be in trouble in a few years.  He takes way too many hits when he runs.  Mahommes is much better at using his run as a threat.

What I guess you are left with is why go through the read progression when after your first or maybe second you see 10 yards of daylight ahead of you.

Lamar is more than a running QB. I don’t know why he’s being reduced to just that in here. 
 

He’s on par with Josh Allen, and Allen is correctly labeled as a dual threat. Lamar has wheels, and is a great runner, but he can beat you with his arm as well. 
 

I’d love to have him.

Possibly your overall health and ability to continue to play the position effectively and as we've seen the runs become less dynamic as they age and get beat up and if the arm is not there they are pretty much done.

The arm is there.  Trust me as I’ve said I’ve seen him play probably close to 50 games  He chooses to run because it’s also there.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By t96 · Posted

      My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season.    As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory.    just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong

      BREAKING: Panthers have interest in Deebo Samuel

      By h0llywood · Posted

      His market value is 15.7 million. Not worth it to bring him at his age, at that price. If we were to bring in a veteran, DeAndre Hopkins is available for 2 million market value. I've said this in other threads, get Keenan Allen to play the slot. He's as good as a pass catching tight end and is market is under 7 million.
