At Oregon he was taking double and many times triple teems. They simply lacked enough front 7 talent to give him more even matchups.
No your 2nd paragraph is spot on. This is what happens when you are allowed to coast on talent and not develop enough skill. Take the AFCC game when he forced it into a triple team going for likely. Bateman was wide open. He simply did not go through his progressions to find an open man. That is a Lamar problem. I dont see it getting better. With last years tape I see a drop off like 2020 was. Hell with the weight loss it could be more like 21 or 22. That speed has already started to erode away. When him breaking is not a real threat defenses will pick at his bones.
