This will definitely be a case study for running QB’s going forward! If Lamar continues to be injured and this contract turns into a mess, the market will lower the value of running QBS for sure.

Probably also be kind of a big thing In terms of how people see Eric DeCosta.

I wouldn't say he's doing a bad job or anything, but he's not exactly Ozzie Newsome level just yet.

(sentiments that many a Ravens fan has expressed over the last few years)

I mean it's more nuanced than that. We'll see what they ultimately gave him, my guess is they caved as they didn't really have a choice considering the leverage franchise QBs have in today's NFL, but it was completely reasonable to be hesitant to give the dude a fully guaranteed contract considering he has missed that much critical time the past few years.

Of course it’s more nuanced than that. Both sides of the table were pretty definitive when it came to Lamar, though.

Totally agree, great thought! Gonna be very hard to replicate the consistency Ozzie had in his drafts for sure.

Well to put in another way, do you want to hear talking heads discussing Jackson as the Panthers are announcing their pick? 😄

After the last several weeks of reading the Huddle, I truly don’t think there’s anything else I need to know about any QB we draft.  It will simply be 15 minutes talking about Young’s height, leadership, S2 score, playmaking ability, fit in our scheme, etc.

If the ultimate outcome is that he got a little more money but still didn't get the fully guaranteed contract, I'm not sure I'd call that the Ravens "caving".

And yeah, it was perfectly reasonable for them to hold their ground on that, especially for a guy who hasn't played a full season in a few years.

I agree the huddle did a great job at getting absolutely every detail about the top 4 QBS this year. The Huddle is gonna be referencing this QB draft class for the next decade I can already tell the, "Bryce vs CJ" "Ar-15 was the right pick" gonna be alot to deal with haha.

So he just signed the highest paying contract in nfl history and all these people on here were talking poo because him and his mom were negotiating the deal. Just laugh out loud.

Time to bump the "Lamar showing us how not to handle contract negotiation" thread and laugh at all the morons

    • I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.  
    • Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.
    • Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
