It really doesn’t matter if he was going to come here. The reasons folks said we shouldn’t go after him is because they didn’t think he was good or worth it.

 

tldr, just more proof of implicit bias ruining talent evaluations 

I want to see him do it in the playoffs this year. Hope he does.

This. Some of the posters now saying he wasn’t going to come here, we’re saying then that he wasn’t good enough, wasn’t worth it, or saying silly nonsense like he quit on his team and his teammates likely didn’t appreciate him.

My only question is why doesn't the NFL promote this guy more?

 

Just looking at the comments all off-season from different sites and even the huddle people were bashing this dude for no reason. I mean the injury prone comments were legit, but other than that people couldn't say anything about his game. Dude was winning 80% of his games with no weapons.

 

Lamar been legit people. Hopefully they start talking about him like they do with Mahomes/Allen/Burrow/Herbert.

 

Feels good when I got slandered in the off-season for simply suggesting we go after him.

 

Mr. Scot I'm talking to you!

He’s been playing great this season, but maybe wait until the playoffs before you take a victory lap.

Nope!

 

Burrow, Allen, Herbert have zero combined rings. Lamar can be in that same discussion without a ring.

Take your hot takes to someone who doesn't know football.

Honestly I think it's probably because he doesn't have QB face he's no Cam,PM, or Brady I've seen some YouTubers saying it's cause he's "fugley" same for TLaw

The only valid argument at the time(and it was) was having a fully guaranteed contract like that for a guy that had a sustained run of being injury prone.

In the end it was just poor timing fod being injured in relation to the contract coming up.

Which, it is kind of funny in hindsight because another mega-bucks QB signed around the same time, Joe Burrow, isn’t getting heat but he is CONSTANTLY injured and has missed a TON of time.

I said when he was in college I didn’t know how they found a helmet for him. He's got a Minecraft head. It's blocky as hell.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
