I'm saying Lamar with his abilities is not going to win a Superbowl. 

Running from the QB position in the playoffs has never been fully successful. 

It just gets harder to depend on your legs for 30 percent of your production against good teams. They will take that away and you are done.

 

I thought he would make a leap by now but he hasn't. He's pretty much the same guy he's always been.

You should really stop trying to talk about Lamar like you aren't comically biased in this discussion. You would keep giving atrocious QB's like Sam Darnold chances if you had roster control.

Sometimes I wonder how your brain generates the power to breathe. 

I never wanted Sam. I never wanted Teddy. I never wanted Baker.

I only said we have thrown money at Sam we can't get back. We might as roll with him this year and either get the number one pick or go to the playoffs.

What did they do? Wasted the 19mil. Brought in Baker didn’t make the playoffs nor got the number one pick. Lost a pick and wasted more money.

Guys I take over Lamar assuming healthy if I wanted to make a run next year Ala Bucs pre Brady.

Not in any order

Mahomes

Allen

Rogers

Brady

Stafford

Herbert

Burrow

Looking like Jimmy G

Hurts

Tua

Maybe Dak

 

On same level as Lamar 

Cousins 

Tannehill

Lawrence

Russ altho this just could be a one off down year historically I take Russ all day long

 

Guys I wouldn't take over Lamar

Fields

Pickett

Sam

Winston

Mariota 

Jones

Wilson

Heineke altho he's moving up

Smith

Brissette 

Kyler

 

 

So no I don't think he's worth the money or the draft picks when he's equal to or worse than half the league

I'm not trying to be rude but you're possibly certifiable if you think Cousins is as good as Lamar Jackson. Look at the talent pool at QB in the NFC compared to the AFC. You've got fading hall of famers in Brady Rodgers and Stafford. When guys like Kirk Cousins and even Taylor Heinicke can fool people from time to time that says it all. Look at what the Eagles are doing with Hurts and what the Seahawks are doing with Geno Smith. Cousins would get eaten alive going up against Mahomes Allen and Burrow. On the flip side I think with the right team and coach Jackson would be heading to the conference championship in the NFC. But we don't agree that's okay.

If he gets to the Superbowl in the NFC do you see him beating Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Herbert if it comes down to it?

 

Do you really see him going 80 90 yards with only 2 min or less in the Superbowl to win or tie?

That's my litmus test. Do I believe this guy can make the game winning drive in the Superbowl. That's where my evaluation begins. 

If the answer is no I don't want to draft him or sign him. 

Can he get to that point someday? Possibly but he hasn't shown it to me yet.

A fun game to play is swapping QBs on the same rosters. Imagine Lamar with Jefferson, Thielen, Hockenson, and Cook. No imagine Cousins with Andrews and…. Burks??? Lamar IS the Ravens offense and unfortunately all some people can do is read off stats Ave assume they know what they are talking about without any context.

All I know is that if we had a qb worth a f*ck we would have beaten the brakes off the Ravens.

You'd think as Panthers fans we'd be more weary of this considering this very same thing happened with Cam during the majority of his prime by outsiders.

i must say, this post confuses me. Lamar has Beaten Mahomes, Burrow and Herbert already.

In the playoffs he's beaten all of them?

Nope he hasn't. 

 

And the post was in response to someone projecting him on our team and us winning the Superbowl. Where he would likely face Mahomes Allen or Burrow on the biggest stage.

 

Let's see what are his playoff stats.

In the playoffs his completion percentage drops to 55.9% abysmal 

Yds per game a whopping 225 meh

Passer rating 68.3 that's pathetic 

3 td and 5 ints.  That's awful 

He has 1 wildcard round win.

 

 

Yeah he's worse in the playoffs.

Now do Herbert’s playoff stats since you have him rated higher, oh wait….

    • We don't need to know what % was his fault last year because it was all bad enough to know to not sign up for more of it. Look at the stuff he was directly responsible for being the point man on, the pro-personnel, and the stuff he was involved in should tell you enough. If you have to discount it to make it look better than you already knew the answer. It's just making excuses for all of those people. Hoping something changes while discounting the work they already done here has proven to be a losing strategy every time so far. Maximus Copius Bulshitetus i think is the Latin name for that phenonium. 
    • 1) Signed 2 high profile guards to big contracts. Did we need guards? Yes. But there's a reason you draft guards and pay tackles. It's easier to find solid guards in the draft. Now we have the most expensive line in the league and still can't get 100 yards passing before halftime.  2) Traded up to get a RB when we didn't really need one. Chuba is one of the better RBs in the league right now and while it is a contract year, we had a crap ton of holes all over. Brooks was a luxury pick we didn't have the luxury to make. 3)Spending a small fortune to build a supporting cast for BY. Bryce didn't even put the work in himself during the offseason by his own admission. We didn't need to build an offense specifically for BY. We brought in DJ and drafted XL. These guys need a QB with a live arm. That's not BY. Speed kills but not when your QB can't legitimately make an accurate, deep ball strike without putting a ton of air under it and floating it.  4. Not looking for a true center. There were several available and it's been a position of need for years. We could have had our choice but we rolled with Corbitt, who did look good at the spot, but had an injury bug that struck again this year.  5) He didn't bring in any serious competition for Bryce. Now you can say that BY needs time to develop and we needed to show we had faith in him, blah blah blah. But the simple matter of fact is Bryce looked like a PS QB last year, Andy has one foot in the QB grave, and there was never an attempt to actually compete for the job. If he genuinely believed that BY was going to magically make it all come together watching YT and chillin for 4 months to unplug, then there's nothing else that needs to be said.  The goal of every GM should be to build a winning team. Players are commodities and loyalty leads you to an early walk out the door. We've tried to build a system to work around the most limited QB in NFL history. 60 years of history should have told him it was never going to work. And benching BY after 2 games is the real truth, he never should have been starting anyway. And either Dan should have known that as the great MLB that he was after watching BY's game tape, or someone else is making the call and Dan is just rubberstamping that decision.  Either way, doesn't matter. We're screwed because we've devoted 2 years of resources to build around a player that didn't put in the work in the off season after one of the worst NFL QB seasons ever. 
    • Something I find interesting is that you are more likely to find successful players as UDFA's than you are to find them with a single pick in any round past 3.  Those 3rd round compensatory choices?  Largely worthless.  Yes, I get it, there are a lot more UDFA's than there are drafted players in later rounds.  Basically, if you're fishing for starters you are simply not going to find anything in Rounds 4 - 7 with any regularity.
