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 not being talked about for the same reason Cam wasn't. Too much attitude for the owners. 

Scot and myself were 2 of the biggest opponents to getting LJ for pretty much the same reasons. With all he was going to cost, how do you build around him? Once the tag was applied, he wasn't leaving the Ravens. It was just a matter of the guarantee on the contract. If someone had offered full guarantee, the Ravens would have matched it. It wouldn't have been worth it not to. 

Prior to that, it would have been extremely difficult to do missing 1sts and 2nds for 3 years and some players, whoever that might have been, plus a hugely guaranteed contract that would have limited the ability to bring in talent. 

Add into that Scott Fitterer as GM and you have a dumpster fire that makes this one look like a smoke bomb.

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.

There is no denying Lamar is playing great right NOW I still think that Contract ages horribly.... qbs who run the ball as much as he does have a "Best if used by" date just like RBs.  

Burrow isn't fully guaranteed and a big difference is his game isn't at risk of falling off a cliff with them.

Jackson has ALWAYS been able to throw, and prefers to throw from the pocket. Part of Burrow's game is his ability to scramble. So, basically I'm not buying it.

Lamar is much smarter about his running than Burrow, honestly. Much, much, MUCH smarter.

Lamar has been on record for years now saying he doesn’t want to run the ball all the time. Notice they don’t call a lot of designed runs and he does a much better job of avoiding getting creamed. He wasn’t like that earlier in his career.

Burrow takes way too much punishment inside and outside the pocket.

If we moved this back in time, people would probably say there was no way Andrew Luck would be out early with injury. But.....guess what happened.

Look at someone like Josh Allen. We have already seen what that did to Cam. Allen's days are numbered playing like he does. Cam thought he was Superman too.

No doubt I wouldn't want him on a long term fully guaranteed deal either....

I don’t have any major concerns with Lamar and his longevity. But, it only takes the right injury and that can change in a heartbeat.

But that is true of any QB. IMO, Lamar isn’t more prone than guys like Burrow or Allen who get the poo kicked out of them because of the way they play(I suspect Anthony Richardson will be on this list agter next season).

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
