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.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By strato · Posted

      We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.

      Mike Kaye: “I would keep a pretty close eye on {KC Concepcion}.”

      I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.

      Look at what the Bears have done with Caleb Williams, drafting playmaking WR's and TE's and making it easier for him to operate the offense. Conception is perfect for what the offense needs (speed and someone who can make defenders miss) and as today, April 11th, I think he's the pick @19
