The whole "former MVP" talk is silly from this fanbase who got a first-hand look at what happened to another "former MVP" quarterback with a similar playing style. 

Breaking: he was out of the league at 32. 

He also hasn't looked nearly as good since that season.  And he has never looked good in a playoff game.

Piggybacking on Peter King's comments...

I would rather have CJ for 3 1st on a rookie contract than LJ for 2 1st and a league leading contract. 

My call as well.

 

If you gotta dump picks, you can't burn up cap as well.

Jackson's arguably got a bigger problem. He's been injured a lot.

In my opinion, Jackson's injuries are similar to CMC's injuries but for different reasons.  We all know CMC would not have missed all those games because of injuries if we were competing for the playoffs or something relevant.  Jackson would not have been injured as much if he had a long-term contract.

The 2 first round is not the problem is the ridiculous fully guaranteed contract.

 

If Lamar would take something like 2 years 100 mill I think plenty of teams would want him

But, but, bit I heard he never asked for a fully-guaranteed contract and the Ravens were big ol meanies.

I don't know if we "all know that" but if you assume that's true, that'd make him a pretty bad teammate.

And then the Ravens would simply match that contract about five minutes after the ink was dry.

As would I BUT we might not be able to get to 1. It won’t be for a lack of trying I can assure you of that. 

So now would you rather have LJ for 2 1st’s and a contract OR trade up to 2 or 3 in the draft for multiple 1’s and your second or third choice at QB?

Especially considering he sat out a freaking playoff game this year...

There are a few QBs you give a guaranteed contract and multiple 1s for.  Lamar isnt one of them

Pretty disingenuous to blame Cam's playing style for his injuries when both of his shoulder injuries happened on pocket passing plays.

In other QB news - the Giants just paid Daniel Jones 4 years 160 mil, with another 35 available in incentives.  Jesus Christ All Mighty.
