Wish you had this same energy for Derek Carr...lol

I was open to the possibility of signing Carr as a FA. It's not like I was pounding the table for the guy. Before his release I said there's no way I'd trade for him. If Lamar had been a FA I would've had the same take on him.

The situations are not the same.

This my last post on Lamar. People on this board just don't like him. I have to accept that.

Apparently winning 75% of your games with shitty weapons just don't matter. YOU TRASH ASS BUM ASS DUMB ASS LAMAR JACKSON!

Yeah... That's not the case at all.

The reality is you don't know what you're talking about, and it's obvious. Again though, that really isn't a big deal until you run around telling other people you know more than they do.

You don't. Hence why you'd be way better off listening instead of talking.

He will be 33 when the season starts. He's seen his best days and was already declining because of age.

 

It's kind of hard to take you serious because you're not making any bit of since. So Lamar Jackson who is 26 is about to decline while the 33 year old Thielen is about to have his best years of football.lol

 

Im always due for a good laugh on The Huddle.

Again, never said he's about to have his best years.

His 3 year contract has cap hits each year of 3, 10, and 8, where his last 4 years he made 14, 10, 11, and 14. We're not paying for peak Thielen and not expecting him to have his best years.

Last year Thielen had 70 catches (45 first downs), 716 yards, and 6 TDs, he's not much of a downfield WR anymore, but he also was never a player who succeeded because of his athleticism, he did it on his knowledge of the game and perfect technique.  He's going to be more of Greg Olsen to Cam for the Rookie than Hurst will be, he will be the ultimate 5-10 yard safety valve option for him.

You make it seem like wanting to pay WR 2 money to Thielen who has less of an injury history than Lamar, even at his older age, but not wanting to pay the obscene cost to get and then sign Lamar as mutually exclusive things.  

If you can't see the difference in a slow decline of a WR that you're going to ask to be your Slot and the risk of the combination of trade/contract/injury history of Lamar, then I don't know what to say.

Just the fact that you can't see that and think people are laughing at my arguments and not yours, is picture perfect irony in itself.

The fact about Lamar is that if he was so sure in his play aging gracefully he would have accepted the deal already. So he wants to ravens to comprise on something he knows he’s not confident in.

 

I think highly of Lamar but even I know he has his major limitations in his passing abilities

Lamar Jackson's playoff stats

https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/lamar-jackson-playoff-stats#:~:text=Lamar Jackson has a passer,the playoffs in his career.

giphy.webp?cid=6c09b952f85a1cd6954b0a627

 

 

 

That's typical of QBs who go on to win the SB for the first time. He won a playoff game and he is 14th of all active QB in playoff pass attempts in the playoffs. Flacco, Foles, and Dalton are on that list and they no longer start with 2 of them winning SBs. So, 10 QBs with more playoff experience, and you are expecting what QB to start of the Panthers?

The QBs you think are good must be QBs who have gone on to win SBs? Well, those QBs don't win for other teams unless they are 40 year old GOAT QBs.

I will not be surprised if Lamar is the Panthers target after they leverage the draft and offset the expensive cost to acquire Lamar.

Lamar's ham-fisted approach to contract negotiations is largely responsible for where he finds himself today.  It should be a cautionary tale for professional athletes going forward.

It's a much longer time frame, but this is very similar to how things went with Norman except for Gettleman rescinding the tag and getting nothing in compensation. A highly inexperienced "agent" negotiating a monster contract against professional NFL contract negotiators. It was never going to go well.

Personally, getting Lamar with the way this team is constructed, you’re winning the NFC hands down and I’d do that over selecting an unproven QB.

 

 Lamar needed an agent, that’s clear but the Ravens had every opportunity to lock up Lamar BEFORE the Watson contract even existed. I can’t blame Lamar for wanting more than the Watson contact, he’s flat out better.

 The owners may collude together to try and thwart these fully guaranteed contracts but it just takes 1 out of 31 billionaires who says fug it i want my team to compete for a Super Bowl

 

 Lamar Jackson on this currently constructed team puts Carolina as the #1 team in the NFC

I feel he's trying to psyche himself out and say it's not the money, it's the principal. He thinks winning MVP equates to higher payday and more long term security than others in the same position that haven't. 

MVP should have led to an agent (not momma) saying Lamar is not playing in 2021 for $2M. He should have had 2 years of $35M a piece before even looking for the extension. That’s set for NFL life type money regardless of injury.

The Ravens were happy to let him play for $2M and then 5th year ($15-17M). I agree that they should have been smart and worked those two year into an extension at $30-35M a year knowing new TV deals were coming up. That said, the injuries cost them two playoffs (could have made it further and wouldn’t have missed playoffs) in 2021/2022. Now things are different.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By frankw · Posted

      If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.
