@Jackson_Muse The irony of the criticism, Lamar has the highest passer rating, adjusted yards per pass, yards per pass attempt (among active QBs), TD pass percentage and after Rodgers retires he'll have the best TD pass to Int ratio. Above is the apitome of elite.
@UberHansen Now, if anyone did a similar thing for Lamar Jackson, he would rank first in more than a dozen categories. It may be two dozen when compared to the other QBs drafted in 2018.
@tgrover93@UberHansen Lamar Jackson has the highest Y/A for a starting QB with 1500 P/A and the highest yards per rush among all active players with 1000 attempts. He's also leads all QBs in passer rating and yards rushing.
I'm confused. If Lamar reached a higher ceiling, he would be the greatest QB in NFL history. I'm not talking about stats of longevity, I'm talking about stats of greatness, which he has already produced. Greatness isn't defined only by team success (Super Bowl wins), it's also defined by spectacular stand-alone individual stats.
In the immortal words of the late Fats Domino, just you "Wait and See." If people who work in the NFL got things right all of the time, Lamar Jackson wouldn't have been the 32nd pick in the 2018 NFL draft. He has torched a South Florida team, the Dolphins (he's from Pappano), who passed on him. That is to the tune of 18 TD passes, 1 int, 1400+ passing yards, 2 perfect passer rating games and a passer rating of 140+ in 5 games.
@dubv01@madnessofmarch@ESPNCFB Cleveland Browns' defense is good. With a competent QB, the team would be a contender to win the AFC North, I'm a Ravens fan, but the division hasn't been good so far this season.
The reason why I even brought it up is, there's a disconnect. As I've already said, it was the 17th game in Lamar's career that he has had a 140+ passer rating. He also set an NFL record, becoming the only QB to have 8 gms w/ 4+ TD passes on fewer than 25 P/A. That wasn't mentioned. I guess acknowledgement leaves no room for critique.
@kurt13warner Based on your tweet, I guess one of Lamar's 5 incompletions was a mistake and others were a missed read, bad throw, bad decision and "etc". Such a fuss for five incomplete passes.
@Stuckey2 This was the right call. Just as a player can't trip an opponent with feet, he can't do it with his body. Also, those types of blocks cause injuries.
@BleacherReport@NBAonNBC Let's not forget, as a 39/40-year-old player, with knee problems, Michael Jordan played in all 82 games. He also received a perfect attendance award when he was in primary school.
