Lamar Jackson

[Hamwallet]

I was pretty skeptical about him but he is legit. If the Ravens keep the D up as they always do I can see many battles in the playoffs against them for awhile.

[O.city]

He can't throw accurately from the pocket. He's an electric athlete that can throw a little.

It was pretty painfully obvious at the game yesterday, that he just can't sit in the pocket and throw.

If you never have the ball with a chance to take the lead in the second half, you’re not one play away from winning.

Jackson is a solid QB but the narrative is awfully different if he doesn’t connect on 2 desperation heaves that were incredibly low percentage.

33-28....what does that tell you?

Chief RB fumbles, Raven defender scoop and score, yep, one play away.

Jackson will end up getting a serious injury, QB's that play that way get hurt.

Absolutely.

On the flip side, he's a unique enough talent that unless you have an elite offense, he can give you fits until they carry him off.

He'll win a lot of 20-17 games against the bulk of the league.

Ultimately, that ain't gonna get it done.

Vick could not run like a running back. His body wouldn't take that kind of beating. Cam has the body to do it but he doesn't have lamars elusiveness. Lamar is unique because he's running the ball 15 times a game for an offense that is predictably run heavy and yet they still find ways to run extremely well. Of course he's not a great passer but the league is only asking him to be good enough. And as others have mentioned, doubtful he can do this for very long....

But the formula only works when their defense can make stops and the ravens can win TOP. they can't sprint. And that's why we pummeled them yesterday.

I thought he was good. He got lucky on a couple of his jump balls but you can see the talent is definitely there.

[MahomesMagic]

Lamar is much scarier to play against than many of the guys drafted before him in the 2018 draft.

Much rather play a QB without that mobility. Ravens had no intermediate passing game yesterday and the Chiefs did well in limiting the deep shots downfield.

Chiefs just took Ravens out of their game plan when they scored so quickly that it forced Ravens to play our game, not theirs.

Which is a big if. But by the team he does, he'll be out of the league with injury.

True about the mobility aspect of Jackson. However, I think the Ravens came into the game playing OUR game, which is why they went for it in situations where they normally would not have. They knew they had to score a lot of points to have a chance. Wonder if we'll see more of that as the season progresses? Hope so. Means we have an advantage going in.

[Gravedigger]

I think he's faced subpar competition so far this year and although improved from last year, is still the same QB when the game is on the line. Remember, even Cam Newton looked unbeatable at one point in his career. He's playing his way perfectly off his Rookie deal, but I'm not sold on him.
