Yeah, that's a solid point. Looking to pass for multiple reads is something that many running QBs never really master. Only three official rushes. That is a HUGE improvement over last season. Didn't the Ravens say he'd still be running? Must be them just trying to mess with the opponents' game plans.Phaded wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 3:12 am Anyone who is arguing against Jackson didn't watch the tape of this game. Jackson has evolved. His first instinct is not run. He stands in the pocket and he was dropping dimes all game. When they unleash his running ability to go with it he's going to be hard to stop. People were arguing he had no accuracy before.
No, I don't own him anywhere
Lamar Jackson is the best QB in the NFL & Fantasy

Re: *MYTH* Lamar Jackson will never be a good passer
Exactly that play. He had a man on him from almost the get-go. Did he try and run & make a play with his legs? No. Did he panic and throw the ball away? No. Did he throw the ball into heavy coverage for an INT? No.sloth8u wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 9:24 pmThe td to boykin? You cant be serious? Poise in the pocket? He never even set his feet in the pocket.

Yes its a highlight video. But go to 3.12 of the video and watch that throw. Off-platform & accurate. IMO he showed something - this is just 1 example of a QB with poise in the pocket reacting & throwing accurately.
If he had zipped it to the corner (where boykin was heading)...caught or not.... I would have been more impressed. Outside of the td to snead... I just didnt see "it" (in terms of his arm) like the rest.
He calmly moved back and threw an accurate pass on his back foot moving backwards. That is exactly the type of thing you want to see from an NFL QB. That throw alone showed me evidence Lamar Jackson has what it takes to make it as a QB.
If you disagree fair enough - but that was one of several plays that to me have shown Lamar Jackson has improved upon his rookie year. That was a play that, imho, you expect to see from a seasoned veteran QB, not a guy many people seem to feel cannot hack it. Nicely executed scramble drill.

Just saw this article.
Lamar Jackson is the youngest QB to have a perfect QB rating.

If the Slant gets broken up or Brown gets tackled, or doesn't run under the bomb......sloth8u wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 10:45 pmClearly just my opinion, but i think brown is the reason we are where we are today with lamar. The slant gets broken up or brown tackled, and/or he doesnt run under the bomb....and there really was nothing to see outside of the td to snead. (Which i thought was a fantastic throw)
REALLY; None of that happened..... Maybe watch the film or simply look at the stats.......PERFECT PASSER RATING WEEK 1.
Passes were on target in stride. Like any QB he will have bad games but he didn't last week.
No question weapons help and Brown does looks special but Lamar was fantastic week 1 and there was plenty see on almost every single throw. The WR needs to run good routes and catch the ball but as good as the WR's played it was Lamar getting them the ball accurately and in stride resulting in TD's.

That was my thinking- we've seen teams figure out Kaepernick in the past, but would have been nice while it lasted!sloth8u wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2019 8:35 pmMy prediction is, he'll choose run in that rpo offense at some point before week 6 and not get back up.
Thats the danger in relying on the guy. Noone questions his leadership or ability to win games in the nfl.
I really am shocked that so many feel he showed anything from that game.

Re: *MYTH* Lamar Jackson will never be a good passer
I have no stake in this discussion, but it seems like we are overreacting to one (great) week against a truly bad team. Let's give it a little more time before rushing to crown/dethrone him.
Re: *MYTH* Lamar Jackson will never be a good passer
Hahaha, He was dethroned all last off season in multiple threads. Many said he can't throw, will never last as a running QB, Bad mechanics... this list goes on.dynastyninja wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 5:42 am I have no stake in this discussion, but it seems like we are overreacting to one (great) week against a truly bad team.

In a single game he proved many wrong. Throwing mechanics were outstanding, accuracy was outstanding, poise and leadership were outstanding.
It's not about crowning him or dethroning him but he deserves props for great play and if few ate crow in the process all the better.
We have all had that delicacy and still hate it so happy when it's not our turn to eat it.

Re: *MYTH* Lamar Jackson will never be a good passer
You could argue that all of last season proved them right, and this game could just be an outlier (as the hostorical data suggests).Ice wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 5:54 amHahaha, He was dethroned all last off season in multiple threads.

Re: *MYTH* Lamar Jackson will never be a good passer
I have a feeling this thread will go back and forth a lot this season... As soon as he struggles in a game, the haters will come back strong
Re: *MYTH* Lamar Jackson will never be a good passer
Derek Anderson of the Browns had a 5 TD & over 300 yard game. I'd say he wasn't a good player. Same with Blake Bortles. It happens.vflgladiators wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 6:57 am Imagine saying a player isn't good after they have a perfect passer rating and throw for 5 TDs and over 300 yards?

Re: *MYTH* Lamar Jackson will never be a good passer
Even if he has another good game this week everyone will still be claiming it doesn't count because it was against the Cardinals. They'll be sure to say "I told ya so" if he's less than stellar though.
Re: *MYTH* Lamar Jackson will never be a good passer
I find it really odd that Seth Roberts and Willie Snead both logged in over 50 snaps this week ..
Snead with 2/41/1
Roberts with 1/10

Re: *MYTH* Lamar Jackson will never be a good passer
It should be noted the opposing QB threw for 6 TDs & 400 yards in that same game. However that was a Pro Bowl year for Derek Anderson and was QB5 in fantasy that year. The year Blake Bortles threw that 5 TD game he was QB4. In other words this portends well for Jackson in 2019.Pac_Eddy wrote: ↑Wed Sep 11, 2019 7:23 amDerek Anderson of the Browns had a 5 TD & over 300 yard game. I'd say he wasn't a good player.

On a more serious note - yeah I am not focused too much on the TDs or the stats from this past game - on any give game any QB can find himself with a great stat line - more by the tape. In fact one could argue the stats detract from the tape because many might just see the stats and think its a one game wonder & not pay closer attention to the tape.
And of course QBs are going to look good if they have good talent around him, which suggests that again good things are in store for 2019. Derek Anderson had Jamal Lewis, Braylon Edwards & Kellen Winslow as weapons that pro bowl year. Lamar Jackson - Mark Ingram, Hollywood Brown & Mark Andrews - so even if an owner is not sold on his tape / development they should at least be sold he has the weapons this year for a potential QB1 season. Not saying its a lock - just open to the possibility.
