FireChans Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 So we all know the Ravens were extremely unlucky IRT injuries this year. Still, despite being extremely banged up, this team was at one point one seed 2/3rds of the way through the season. they lost their final 6 to miss the postseason, 4 of those with LJ out with injury. Lamar’s injury? A bone bruise. So Lamar sits for their last 4, basically dooming a team that was 8-5, because he couldn’t play on a bone bruise? I get it, it was probably extremely painful, they probably weren’t going to go deep into the postseason but still. If it were Baker Mayfield who was in a similar situation, I think the media crushes him. Even if it was Aaron Rodgers, I think it’s a major topic. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone in the media even ask the question, was Lamar truly that hurt that they had to roll with “one read” Huntley and ruin their whole season? If I was a Ravens fan, I’d be kinda pissed. If I was a Ravens player, I’d be probably pretty annoyed. A lot of guys are banged up near the end of the year. Lamar with four weeks off couldn’t give it a go against the Steelers in a must win game? Even at 70%, wouldn’t he give them their best chance to win? 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comebackkid Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 A bone bruise cannot be trivialized. One cannot just take pain medicine and ignore the symptoms. Despite Roethlisberger’s ironman reputation, he can’t just play through it. Edema or swelling in the bone can lead to complications and articular cartilage loss if not careful. What is a bone bruise? It is not a simple contusion that is treated with ice and managed symptomatically. A deep bone bruise is essentially a microscopic fracture, much like a ligament sprain is a microscopic tear. I am not suggesting it is a true fracture that needs surgery or casting, but there is compromise to the integrity of the bone in order to get the swelling/fluid inside the bone. Think of the bones of the knee being covered by articular cartilage like the dirt of the football field has grass on top. When an elephant stomps on the grass, the dirt underneath can be damaged/compressed. In order to allow the grass (articular cartilage) the best chance to rejuvenate and heal, you can’t keep playing football on it. The “keep off the grass” sign allows a chance to heal. Last year, Broncos LB Danny Trevathan was placed on short-term IR for a bone bruise. As a result of recurrent injury, he needed offseason surgery. I am not suggesting this will happen to Roethlisberger, but the top Steelers medical staff will have this in mind as they allow their QB to return to play per dr david chao 9 1 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I think it's pretty ridiculous to question whether a player should play injured & risk further injury without an understanding of his medical condition. Unless the OP is Lamar's doctor his opinion is pretty worthless. As far as the media goes, anyone who crushes any injured player in the media also has a pretty worthless opinion. 12 3 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he’ll last another 10 years like you hope for a franchise QB. He can make an impact the next five years and then will probably get beat up. I don’t see Baltimore giving him $258 mil., but he’ll probably get a solid contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Yeah, it was a strange season for him: Illness, a mystery injury, a lot of time off ??? There is probably more going on than we know. For his sake, I hope it is nothing serious. Of course, when against the Bills, I have no sympathy for him. But he seems like a genuinely good person, and as I said, I do hope whatever it is can be put in the rearview mirror soon. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Darragh Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Whatever you say about the injury (and who really knows?) the real point here is that there is NO DOUBT who is the best QB of the 2018 draft. Lamar was a good move by Baltimore at the end of the 1st round but he's a far cry from Josh. He's still probably the second best QB from that draft but with a huge gap to first. 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A QB that is a straight pocket guy like Brady or Ben - bouncing on their toes and just standing back there from shotgun is totally different than the multidimensional player and if Jackson could not be himself and Harbaugh felt it could hurt the team - let him sit. I feel exactly the opposite about Baker - why did they keep trotting him out when week after week it was obvious the injuries were holding the team back and you paid good money for a back-up familiar with the system and the coaches.

IDK I think Lamar was hurt pretty badly and probably should have been put on IR. The way they handled his injury was pretty odd. It was reported as though he could start the next week after being carted off, but he did not. Then the footage from practice came out and he was walking with a bad limp. He probably shouldn’t have even practice - which speaks again to the severity of the injury. I’m not sure they didn’t just shut him down. But if he was able to play in Week 17 or 18, it wouldn’t surprise me for Baltimore err on the side of caution since they were basically out of the playoffs The other strange injury designation was the game he missed to due to a sickness. No idea what that was about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Digg? Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 It amazes me that people STILL question when a player is injured how injured he actually is. They didn’t put him on IR because Lamar was trying every week to be out there. The the same narrative plus out about Lamar that people have questioned since he was drafted-they should definitely make the back up the full time starter, Lamar can’t play QB, etc. you think Lamar didn’t want to play that final week with the playoffs on the line? Hasnt everyone learned yet that the old school way of thinking about injuries is the wrong way to think about injuries? Are there not enough older players who can’t walk, have head issues, have difficulty moving, don’t have enough money to cover all of their medical bills…people need to change their thinking on what the players should/could do WRT when they are injured 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 well, if he was being soft (doubtful) then you don't want him as your long term big dollar qb. if he was actually hurt, it raises the specter of him being an injury magnet in the future, which also casts doubt on him being the long term big dollar qb. all that aside, he was mvp and has been a touch down machine throughout his starting career, and baltimore doesn't have anyone lined up to replace him, has a team built around lamar, and has a pretty solid roster otherwise. so i think he gets big dollars this offseason, the only question is what protection can they build into the contract? i think they ink him up w a contract that gives them an out in years 2 or 3. i don't think he gets less than 40 per year tho.

Bobby Hooks Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) If it was me and I won mvp and had my team looking at the playoffs each season, I might take breather too. You see Allen with his fat contract and you’re wondering when you’ll be getting yours. Maybe I’d play on some injuries when I’m sitting on a quarter of a billion. Certainly not when I’m at the negotiating table. His style of play, he can have his leg snapped in two. Or his play can suffer because of the injury and further hurt negotiations. No good can come or playing right now if you’re Lamar. He’s doing the right thing. Edited January 19, 2022 by Bobby Hooks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryland-bills-fan Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 (edited) Seems like there are a lot of opinions, but people seem to be short on any detail about the Ravens. #1. The Ravens came into the season with the loss of several free agents and did not backfill them with high quality FA or draft picks. Their bench started out a weaker than most and they got devestated by IR. They lost their top 3 running backs, their top #1 cornerback and two offensive tackles. They play a man defense and they really need Humphrey to shut down the other teams #1 WR. He is out. Their WR were weak and the TE (a lot of dump offs) was the top receiver. Not good.

Injured Reserve #2 the Ravens were not really a good as their early season 8-5 record might suggest. They beat the lions and denver. Squeaked by the Colts, got KILLED by the Bengals, squeaked by the Vikings, Bears, and Browns. The they lost to the DOLPHINS, Browns and Steelers. They had lady luck on their side for about 4 of their wins. I live in the Baltimore area and watch some of their football and read some of their press. They had lady luck on their side. #3 Lamar is a fast and shifty runner AND takes off quickly when pressured. If his mobility is down, he will get creamed big time. He got dinged and was going to be a sitting duck out there. He is NOT an accurate passer, even from the pocket he throws a lot of balls behind and in front of receivers. He came into the league with poor foot/body technique in his passing, there was a big bullaballo about him cleaning that up- but that only lasted for a little time. He was back to doing weird body arrangement during his throwing and the local press just shut up about it. His recievers are NOT like Diggs and Beasley, who can find holes in zones and seemly think the same as Allen in getting aligned for a pass. Jackson also shifts and jumps around a lot in the pocket, but that jitterbugging makes it hard to have a moving passer hit a moving WR. His WR just run their routes and are pass catchers- the press is always complaining about the poor YAC. #4 Lamar is up for a new contract. He doesn't want to get further hurt as this season is in the tank. The Ravens don't want him to get further hurt and probably don't mind if his fragile condition lowers the amount of his next contract. The Ravens are getting 3-5 players back next year but have several other holes to fill and have to figure out how to compete with the much improved Bengels and Browns. Remember that they finished 1-1 against the teams in their division Bengals, Browns and Steelers. YES there is more going on here than just Lamar's courage.

If the Ravens were down Lamar and otherwise full-strength, if Lamar could go, he'd have played. But the Ravens were hit by the injury bug in historical fashion. Risking long-term injury for an unlikely playoff run would have been a bad decision. Plus, I think a 100% Huntley is better than a 60% Jackson, anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
