The Baltimore Ravens will not be heading to the Super Bowl after their offense fell apart in the fourth quarter of Sunday's AFC Championship battle with the…
As far as I’m concerned, he just doesn’t have the capacity to be a good enough passer to win a championship because of him. His legs will do it in the regular season. But at some point, to win a Super Bowl, you need to make throws when the defense knows you have to throw, and I don’t think he’s capable physically or mentally of doing that.
In terms of the run, Lamar was the biggest driver behind the new OC with more emphasis on the pass game. I think it’s kind of ironic that the Chiefs went heavy packages so often on the other side to beat them, but the difference is that Mahomes treats playground ball as a fallback. If the play design doesn’t work, he’ll move when necessary and his guys will get into scramble drill, but he’s trying to play within the offense first. I think, if you could do out the charting, that the proportion of Lamar’s completions that are guys breaking off their routes would be a lot higher, because he can’t/won’t pull the trigger on the scheme stuff.
Yeah I just never want to say he can’t because he could learn. But something’s missing about his play making for sure. I’m guessing you’re a Ravens fan, and if that’s the way Lamar and the OC wanted to go then they’ve handicapped themselves severely. It was clear to see though that Andy Reid’s staff out-coached Ravens’ on both sides of the ball. Ironic Bills might’ve been the only ones who came close, yet will inevitably fall short because Andy Reid knows McDermott’s defense because that’s the defense he wanted in Philly in the years past and knows how to carve it up.
I’m not a Ravens fan. I like the organization and coach and casually rooted for them until they played Lamar, but I’m a Pats fan.
I just can’t stand when flashy shit gets a guy treated like he’s the best in the sport when the fatal flaws are just as big of a negative. How many other guys can you make a highlight reel of sprinting backwards and blindly throwing jump balls? Even when his guys actually do go get them (which has happened more than it should), those are awful decisions. Every bit of his patient, deliberate approach with his legs and protecting himself and the ball is offset by his recklessness when you make him a pocket passer. And that’s part of the job description.
flashy shit does sell tickets. He’s getting better with the passing but he is as you say a rb trying to prove himself as a QB and walked right into Chiefs’ plans. fait accompli.
