Who?

Interesting, the media has not mentioned it, nor the team, yet. I wonder if they sweep this under the rug, let it die sow

Is Zay Jones one of the best receivers in the league? No, but he produces, makes the tough catch when in tight man, gets open deep because of the route combinations of the other receivers. His qb also has the touch and accuracy to place the ball, down field outside the numbers, to put the ball where it is easier to catch. Lawrence does this often enough that Jones knows where the ball will be. Lamar, has not done this consistently, shoot, even on easy throws over the middle, he routinely throws it just behind, or in the dirt, leaving no chance for yards after catch, routinely. Our receivers, on par with Jones, have to make diving catches, adjust at full speed to an off target throw. Should they catch some of these? Sure, they are professional after all. They did in college, but that too was muscle memory based on doing it over and over in practice. They "knew" where the ball would be. Lamar, amongst the top qbs, is far below in making that throw, down field outside the numbers. Shoot, he is way down on attempts, why? Not because of pocket pressure or that the play had not been called. No, but because he chose not to make those throws. In tight man, Lamar struggles because he doesn't trust, either him self, or his receivers. We've seen Andrews make those tight catches, even Duv, Likely, etc from time to time. But nothing consistent, in the NFL, open is a half step, not wide open. We never see back shoulder throws, the hardest to throw but also impossible to defend. The only time we see it is when the other team's quarterback throws it, yeah, a pizza delivery quarterback just called up from their practice squad, but not our $300 million guaranteed quarterback. Sorry for the long post, but it is time to get down and dirty. History says that out of 10 quarterbacks in the draft, only 3 will turn out, and that is in a proverbial good year. Who are those players? Are they first rounders or 4th? We need a quarterback who can help these receivers be their best. What, you think 20 years of not finding good receivers is just bad luck? Bad coaching every year even with the turnover in position coaches? I say no, who have been the quarterbacks? Get someone who has shown they can make all of the throws. It is not often a quarterback comes to the NFL, then learns how to make those throws consistently, Josh Allen's are rare. You either are accurate or you never will be, you either have the brain to read defenses, or you don't. So far, Lamar has not shown that he can, nor that despite working with a qb guru, his accuracy is improving. /rant

Bo Nix is staying in school, great year, he should have been one of the finalist for the Heisman. But be leary of pack 12 qbs, he is only really good against those teams. Duggan is a gamer for sure, but not sure about his pro game. Lamar has lost a step, his quickness, it could be related to his hip injury, which did or did not happen because of a hit on the field. It appears to have happened on his flip into the endzone or possibly in his pick up game of football on the beach. Which is just more fuel to his lack of responsibility to the team. Maybe part of the hold up on his contract is due to language in the contract limiting what he can do off the field....

Look at the stats Justin Fields and Jalen Hurts are putting up. Two qbs similar in style as Lamar. Both dangerous rushers, Hurts a better passer, defenses know to keep an eye on them but they still run wild. Not Lamar any more, why? Not the offense, more so the passing threat. Teams are still playing man against them, so running is easier, and they are not trying to prove that they are pocket passers. My pt, a lot of Lamar's issues are in his head, he tries to stay in the pocket too long, hesitates to run too much, so when he does, a five yard gain at best. All three teams now run a similar offense as ours, save for better pass combinations....

Oh please no, he will get eaten up in the NFL with his size. There are far better options, I am sick and tired of Bama players on this team who usually end up busts

Lawrence is impressive, another game with a team coming from way back... that vikes game was epic

Hey, if they can trade Lamar to a team in the top five draft slot, they might get their choice of qbs in this draft...

I just posted it to back up the Bowser story.

Well, as the worm turns, apparently Bowser has sung for Shah-Na-Na, fire Gregg Roman, at least from a picture of a note saying it that he posted on his Instagram account. If true, and no I don't have an account there, then things are unraveling behind closed doors.

There is no doubt that this defense and running game are top notch. Even the Biscuit has to see how bad this passing game is no matter who is at quarterback. Just look at the other games and compare, wow what a difference. Defenses do not respect the passing game, the route combinations are easy to decipher, the quarterbacks can only make certain type throws. Easy peasy to defend with match up zone, man on the outside, zone underneath to guard against the running qb and keep underneath routes in check. We never see hard play action, with an over route to draw the safety with a deep post to confuse them. We can't run slants any more because the box is so full to stop the run and teams don't respect the passing game. This passing offense even with new wr coaches, a passing game coordinator, has not just regressed, it has died. They were squatting on routes knowing Huntley can't throw deep, knowing Lamar is not accurate deep outside the numbers. So double moves don't work. They don't run hard play action so it is easy to tell when it is a pass play so the linebackers don't get sucked up, opening the middle. Make changes Biscuit, we've all see enough

What good would it do to have the best wide out in the history of the league if the patterns were terrible and we didn't have a qb who could throw accurately.... Being able to rip off 12 yard runs almost every play and still could not find an open man nor put the ball in the endzone

Huntely with all day, throws into double coverage, no zip on the ball, incomplete Browns ball good night Irene

Huntely looks, finds no.one, scrambles, is sacked for a loss of 6, sacked agsin for a loss of 2, 3rd and 18 Complete to Andrews for 5, 4th down 13, Ravens use their last time out, thankfully it is almost over 3:10 left

Watson sacked by Urban, 4th down, they try a field goal, it is no good from 46, 4:24 13-3 Browns

5:19 left Hunt for no gain, Smith and Washington on the stop. Another useless timeout by the Ravens, 5:15

Chubb for 3, Ravens call a futile timeout,

Chubb rips one off for 6

4th and 4 they rush the snap, play clock running down, roll him out, poor pass to an open Duv is incomplete
