He’s definitely sitting on his couch for the first playoff game and yes, the thread is still hilarious. There’s a reason the OP ran away.
The only team willing to pay him was the only team that had reshaped their entire offense to accommodate his style of play. Weird.
There's a reason 15+ teams passed on signing him.
If history is any indication you will see these reasons on display in the second week of the playoffs.
You might want to go back and read how this thread started to see why it is hilarious regardless if he loses host first playoff game. There’s a reason the OP ran away.
Ravens have non-franchise tagged Lamar, basically saying: go get the monster contract you're looking for, cause were not paying you like that. This is a hiddeously bad look for Lamar. Reasons Lamar is too dumb:
1. Is acting as his own agent. Word is the NFLPA is guiding him. This is to help him save face. Their guy looks like an idiot trying to negotiate with an NFL team of professional execs and lawyers
2. Didnt even go to the Bengals/Ravens playoff wildcard game. Was hurt but didnt even go. Bad look, bad team guy
3. Asking for basically a fully guaranteed contract like Deshaun. Hes not Deshaun, and only the Browns were dumb (even dumber than Lamar) to pay Deshaun all that $
4. The Ravens created all the leverage in the world w/ this non-exclusive tag. In the meantime Lamar is going to get left out of the QB shuffle and look dumb for doing his own bidding.
Lamar fought the stigma of being labeled a dummy and a "running quarterback" coming out of Louisville, but finds himself right back in the same situation. Proven assclown.
1. Lamar is not a smart man. Acting as his own agent was dumb.
2. Not supporting your team is a bad look. If Aaron Rodgers can do it Jackson could have done it.
3. Jackson didn't even come close to getting a fully guaranteed contract.
4. ^^ Because no one but the Ravens wanted him and they weren't willing to give him one.
Lamar is learning to play QB and his instinct to bolt at the first sign of trouble is now gone so he's not just a "running quarterback" at this point but other than that the OP nailed it.
How can someone who can’t throw a football throw for 5 touchdowns? 🤔
NFL QB "can't throw" and you "can't throw" aren't the same thing.
😂😂 5 PASSING touchdowns. Imagine if he could throw a football and if defenses hadn’t figured him out his first year! He’d have thrown for 15 touchdowns!
He has looked far better in his last 2 games. He’ll run occasionally but it’s not anywhere near his sole #1 read now
Well Miami didn't put any pressure on him at all and there were wide open receivers all over the field so anyone would look good.
Full disclosure I'm a Browns fan so my opinions on the Ravens are jaded by a seething hatred for the entire franchise other than Ozzie Newsome who is clearly stuck in some sort of Stockholm Syndrome situation.
The Browns beat the Raven by containing Jackson and forcing him to pass under pressure. Do that and he always turns it over.
