Lamar Jackson let the media/critics get to his head

[#1 pick]

Like I said, the Chiefs did the same thing to the Dolphins and the Bills. Took away the intermediate and deep passes. You can't scheme your WR's open easily vs their passing defense. These last three weeks these opposing QB's have looked up after their drop was complete and everybody has been covered. Only Tua connected with a deep ball home run in-structure/stride.

Lamar needed to extend plays and give his WR's a chance to get open and hit them on the run. Dude needed to be an out-of-structure play maker today.

That play where he decided not to get the first down as well was

No help from any run plays either. Edwards was a non-factor because the Ravens OC made no effort to get dude the ball.

San Francisco and Detroit is checking down specialists teams, it will be interesting to see how they play these teams.

Lamar had 2 turnovers himself

1st wasn't on him

Been repeating it on this forum.. the tackle gets beat on the outside ITS THE JOB OF THE TACKLE THEN TO PUSH HIM UPFIELD WHERE THE QB HAS A LANE TO STEP UP

He did that, but Stanley got beat SO bad

Lamar a running back.

 

[Roid Jones]

What a bizarre and unexpected performance. Was the moment too big brehs?

Could be, maybe he needs to be the underdog

 

[The Villain]

He really did it was like watching an identity crisis unfold right before your eyes.

So many times the play was there to pickup 7-10 yds with his legs and keep the sticks moving favorably and he just never did it.

Imagine being an MVP with nothing but a victory over the Houston Texans to show for it

 

[CHICAGO]

Worst part is Lamar gonna get the MVP....

That regular season ass award just gonna remind him he aint shyt in the playoffs

PEYTON WON 2 MVPS BEFORE
HE EVER WON AN AFC TITLE GAME AS WELL.

No reason for him to abandon running the ball like this.

Everytime he dropped back in the 2nd half, those gaps were available for him to pick up yards on the ground.

Unless he's hurt and doesn't want to run, he switched who he is as a player to appease the media narrative about him.

It's rigged man

Yeah definitely. Especially Detroit because they have the rushing attack and super OL.

Yep and he was called a playoff choker/dropper relentlessly until they finally got over the hump against the Patriots in 2006

Yea, I hate seeing Qbs insist on waiting around when there's nowhere to throw and plenty of space to run. It's like there's a voice in their head "You better not run for that 1st down, boy".

Whatever it is, Lamar has to get right.

You honestly expect people to be knowledgeable about football on this forum?

This forum is for casuals only lol

Nah its just like the OP said. I noticed a lot of black quarterbacks are trying to prove they can win as pocket passers. Forget all that because if those same critics had that kind of running ability they would damn sure use it to win.

He’s not who yall want him to be at the moment. Fantastic regular season QB though.

But stop mentioning him with 15 going forward

Both teams are stacked mainly due to not paying QBs much or in Detroit case, a lot of rookie contracts
