Cleaning up on bad teams really isn't a fair criticism. That being said Baltimore does rely on his legs. He hasn't put up big numbers but he hasn't needed to. He has been efficient. As long as he shows that with his natural ability he has great potential Definitely not in Watson's league as a passer but i.think he can be
Lamar with the electric TD run. Looked like a video game. Wow Next week's Ravens Texans game needs to be flexed to SNF
I think both Texans and Ravens are happy with there qbs. I can’t wait for the game next week. Cincinnati is imploding out there now.
Pats and Seahawks wins were great. 4 of the Ravens 7 wins: Bengals (Twice), Dolphins, Cardinals. Their next 4 games: Texans, Rams, 49ers, Bills. We will see.....
I would agree if the Texans didn’t have to play on Thursday night. It would be brutal to have to fly out of Baltimore late Sunday night land in Houston early Monday morning and get ready for a game in 3 days.
I actually like Lamar. I love that he stuck to his guns when teams told him the only way he could play in the NFL is if he moved to WR. he said no, I’m a QB. he’s winning games and playing well for what they ask him to do. my concerns with him is that he runs a lot and he’s maybe better than Vick or atleast on par with Vick as the best ever at the position. but he’s small..... eventually he’s going to get drilled and injured. If Cam Newton couldn’t sustain that running style of play I have no faith Lamar can. he has arm strength but his reads are elementary and made because of the defense worried about his legs. but he is having a very very good year. with that’s said... really? watson is so much better than Lamar Jackson. Imo it’s not even close. Watson on pace for 4800 total yards and 41 Tds Lamar (prior to this game) 3500 yards and 30 tds. their is zero comparison. you can win SuperBowls with Watson and contend for 10+ years. I’m not sure Lamar will even be in the nfl in 10 years. plus I’ve seen Watson skill set win SuperBowls. I’ve yet to see a run first mediocre passing QB even sniff a SuperBowl. Lamar is fun to watch and he has these games we’re the media and fans gush about him but what about the 150 yard passing games he’s has quite often? Watson is pure he’s a 4000+ yard 30+ td guy with very efficient passing every year that’s rare. watson by a land slide.
I wouldn't put him in the same category as Watson. Watson and Mahomes are a class above Jackson, and it is way above his level.
Deshaun a better thrower and can move just like him might not be as fast but Watson can extend plays to throw much better
Jackson is a lot better than Vick as a passer. It trips me out when people ignore winning for stats. The Ravens schedule is soft but they've beaten two of the top teams. The goal is winning, not 5k passing yards. He is efficient, you can make him better. Vick needed Andy Reid His ratimg is 101. You stat watchers dont even understand stats. He isn't Russel Wilson but im reminded of people who doubted he was a top tier qb after two super bowls winning one cause he wasn't throwing for 5k yards As far as the Cam Newton comparison, Newton relishes contact. Jackson is more like Vick who never broke down from running
A message for stat watchers Quarterbacks who are efficient can become better. Throwing interceptions is the red flag in early quarterback play. Remember way back when, when people thought Brady was just a game manager. Remember when they thought Wilson was just a game manager. Guys who throw interceptions like Osweiler, tend to tbrow them out of panic, and it seems to go beyond coaching as far as fixing. Osweiler was a head case. Unfortunately it seems Baker Mayfield is a head case also
https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2019/11/11/steelers-playoffs-nfl-week-10-fmia-peter-king/ Sunday: Baltimore: Texans at Ravens. The first NFL matchup of two of the NFL’s next wave of star quarterbacks—Deshaun Watson, 24, versus Lamar Jackson, 22—very likely won’t be as scintillating as the only previous time they met as starting quarterbacks. Oct. 1, 2016, Louisville (4-0) at Clemson (4-0), seven future NFL first-round picks in the game. Clemson’s Clelin Ferrell sacked Lamar Jackson twice in the game; Louisville’s Jaire Alexander intercepted Deshaun Watson twice. Louisville, behind 457 passing/rushing yards from Jackson, led Clemson 36-28 with 7:30 left in the fourth quarter. In his next two possessions, Watson threw his fourth and fifth TD passes of the game. Clemson won 42-36, on the way to the 2016 national championship. Though Watson won the top two individual quarterback awards in 2016, Jackson beat out second-place Watson for the Heisman Trophy. How interesting would it be—this year or several times in the future—if Watson and Jackson battled for AFC titles and MVP awards?
