Are We ready to talk about Lamar Jackson turning into EJ Manuel when all the chips are on the table? Or Nah?

[Piff Perkins]

we gotta talk about it


Playoffs come down to a run game and a few key throws a game. You gotta be able to extend drives and score points.

 

[TBdaGhost]

He's still so young. He will learn from this, it will make him better in the long run

 

[Crude]

Hot takes mania.

Give him time.

If he's still shytting the bed in 2-3 years then yall might be validated. I knew those guys were due for a bad game sooner or later.

I told my cousin all year long I'd love to see how he would do when he had a defense in his face that could play a contain defense, keep him in the pocket, and half way cover his receivers.

Lamar needs to work on his passes on those little out routes too. Some of those balls looked like wounded ducks coming out of his hand.

Ravens playcalling masked a lot of his weaknesses, but in the playoffs those coordinators scheme to take away what you do well and opposing players come to execute.

I dont give a damn. NO QB PUTS UP THOSE NUMBERS. And definitely not no damn EJ Manuel on his absolutely best day under any circumstance. You full of it with this EJ shyt.

Ravens didnt lose because of Lamar. At the 5 min mark, they were still driving. Had they scored, they would be back in the game, despite all the coaching gaffes. If a team is down 21 - 6 EARLY in the 3rd Quarter, a team doesn't have to change its ENTIRE strategy at that point. Coaching decided to have lamar throw the ball early and often.

He did the best he could while in unfamiliar territory, which was pretty damn good. This ain't last year.

Padded stats When the game was out of reach. You clearly didn’t watch the game. 3 turnovers and 0-3 on 4th down conversions. Put up a whooping 12 points.

He's Elway. Great regular season QB. He may get better when he lose some athleticism

He is nothing close to Elway

Where do you yall get this nonsense from?

Delusional

All this Ravens loss is really exposing is the amount of people here who really don't know how to evaluate football. This was a bad game at every angle by a team that averaged 30 and couldn't get half that with the presumptive MVP...

I don't have a problem with cats liking Lamar, but the lack of football understanding is clearly missed on here...

Was good for me, I was all over Titans +8.5, absolutely free money. The Titans are built to win in the playoffs, they're not going to be an easy out for anyone.

 

[Street Knowledge]

I will never get how EJ got drafted in the first round

 

[madness]

I will never get how EJ got drafted in the first round

Manuel was fortunate to be in the weak crop of 2013 QBs. most bad teams had taken their franchise/long-term QB the year before (Luck, RG3, Wilson, Tannehill, Osweiler, Weeden, Foles, Cousins)

 

[75 Others]

I was just thinking he better not go the Peyton Manning route, being great in the reg season and then can’t win a playoff game

 

[Real N Quotes]

Turnover did them in

Lamar got frustrated and lost his concentration

They didn’t seem to change protection or snap count enough

Every play is critical

Titans are going to be a tough out

 

[concise]

On 2nd thought

I know its empty calories but the breh still threw for 300 and ran for 100...

Maybe he's just off to that Peyton Manning rough stretch in the playoffs

Peyton was getting clowned too. However, this years playoffs I cant give him EJ status.

Peyton Manning didn't win a playoff game until his 6th overall season and 4th playoff appearance. If his career starts like that, the chatter would be absolutely UNBEARABLE.

Or can we talk about how trash Greg Roman is as an OC. It's more of the coaching vs Lamar. They did the same thing last year. Same result. Don't change anything about the offense in the Play offs. Most times teams tweak their offense for the playoffs. Titans defense was ready for that RPO BS.

Oh lets not put any blame on the defense letting Henry rape them.

And receivers were dropping passes like crazy. They need to add Antonio Brown and AJ Green this season. Then draft a couple of WR's. Their receiving corps is ass on rye bread.


Cacs and c00ns are the only ones putting the whole game on Jackson

 

[JLova]

365 yards passing, 143 yards rushing, 1TD numerous drops by Wrs, injuries to TEs.

And we talking about him turning into EJ Manuel.......

How about we talk about him becoming randall Cunningham, AT WORST.

He was the whole offense. One of the picks could really be blamed on the TE as much as him. He still put up 500 plus total yards. The problem is poeple will never appreciate the numbers on the ground for a QB.

As I said, look at the other 3 QBs who played yesterday. All threw picks except for Tannehill. Lamar's the only one who passed for more than 175 yards. Both winning teams had 200 yards rushing from their backs.

Where was the D? Where was the running game? You need both to win in the playoffs. He had none.

I don't remember you shytting on Roman like this when the 9ers were winning in the playoffs despite Roman holding back the O . You were shytting on Kaep

Not that I disagree. Very disappointed with the Ravens staleness and lack of preparation.
