He's going to have to get better reading defenses and as a QB in general though before he will go any further. You shut him down running and he crumbles. It's been this way for years now. I actually think Roman may be more of a hindrance in the long run if they want to actually develop Lamar. Totally agree theyre not really trusting him with the offense to change calls up at the line etc he just goes out there and plays and does everything their offense asks him to do Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just saying it is looking more and more like his style cannot carry you further than a participation trophy in the playoffs. Elite athleticism only gets you so far. Eventually you have to sit back and read the field and beat the coverage with your throw. He can't do it. Right. You can be happy beyond belief that the Bills won and still offer legitimate criticism of Lamar Jackson. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not like the huge wind had anything to do with that? Did you not notice that Allen wasn’t on his A game tonight? .. Wind had a decent part. So did play calling. So did his first half decision making. 3 times he could of easily thrown for a first down and instead threw the ball deep You have to give it to Baltimore's defense.. they are the real deal Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Go Bills!! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TroutDog 2,844 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I stand by what I said way back when in the beginning of this thread: the Bills have literally written the script to beat Lamar. The comparison between him and Josh, tonight notwithstanding, should be over. Just my opinion. 3 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He’s got flaws, (like most young players) but he’s a top 10 QB in this league and is under 25 years of age. Yes, but consider how the Ravens are using him. Are they putting him through the QB gauntlet like the Bills did with Allen the first two years? No. They paired him with Greg Roman, who's going to coddle him with a dynamic running scheme, just like he did with Kaepernick and Tyrod. So, even though he's 25 and putting up great numbers, he's not going to take that next step towards becoming an elite QB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Right.. So the clear answer is.. stop throwing deep balls. at least at the pace they were first half. other then that I 100% agree Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am not even saying Lamar is an elite QB, but the hate on him is surreal to me. He is inarguably a top 10 QB and is under 25 years of age, and has won an MVP, like give the kid a break bud... 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Center has been a problem for the Ravens all season. Their starter, Matt Skura, got benched in Nov. after struggling with the snap. Obviously Mekari has had his own adventures. 12 minutes ago, HappyDays said: I'm not trying to dump on him.

It was commented when Roman was with the Bills, by some former QBs (not sure who, but I seem to remember more than one), that there were design limitations to Roman's passing game and that what was going on with the QB didn't always match what was going on downfield. I think this is a reasonable question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's been this way for years now. I actually think Roman may be more of a hindrance in the long run if they want to actually develop Lamar. Interesting point. Here's my contrarian take on tonight's game (not on Lamar's development in general): Roman blew it by abandoning what works for the Ravens. First 3 plays of the game: 1st & 10 at BAL 25 (15:00 - 1st) (Shotgun) G.Edwards up the middle to BLT 37 for 12 yards (J.Poyer). 1st & 10 at BAL 37 (14:17 - 1st) (Shotgun) G.Edwards left tackle to BLT 47 for 10 yards (T.White). 1st & 10 at BAL 47 (13:39 - 1st) (Shotgun) J.Dobbins up the middle to BUF 44 for 9 yards (L.Wallace; T.Edmunds). 3 runs between the tackles, basically 3 first downs. Next run goes outside, playing into the Bills' strength. And then come the unnecessary passes. With the wind tonight and given that the Bills' defensive weakness is stopping the power running game, it boggles the mind that they didn't stick with what was working, and with what had proven to work against the Bills defense this year. Roman seems to want to show that he (and Lamar) can win by running a modern 2020s offense, so he got away from their strength. In bad weather like this, there's every chance that if the Ravens just stick with the run and avoid mistakes (granted, nothing much you can do about a center who can't snap the ball straight) this game is tied in the 4th quarter.
