They hit huge on late picks. They do what we used to.
-
So Lamar should be traded to say kc and sit behind Pat for a number of yrs so the coaching staff can teach him to be an excellent pocket passer?
-
I don’t even remember,bet him with the bucs. But when he got to sf he worked on his craft. I don’t even remember him being much of a runner. I do remember him taking off when it was wide open but he rarely took off.

He doesn't need to be as fast as he was a few years ago if he continues his development as a pocket passer this year who is mobile enough to pick up yardage on the ground when the opportunity presents itself. Josh Allen is big but isn't fast but he can pick his spots to run when needed. That is what I want to see Lamar accomplish.
But he does. If he is slow he isn’t a threat like before. Now no need to add extra to watch him. You aren’t going to make some giant jump when you are 30. Allen is almost done. He runs like a tank like cam did.
do not give Lamar new money. The team that does will regret is so badly and that person should be fired and never hired as a gm again.

His full speed is far lower than it once was. In all athletics speed is the first thing to go. I recall twice he was breaking for his life and he was chased down by dl. Hell in 24 he was starting to get caught by dl see the raiders game.
-
I think it is too late at 30 to do that. This is remedial. You fine tune in the nfl. With practice limitations there isn’t time to teach like the past. That again is why being at otas is so important. Ge5 as much pt as possible, he sees it as not important.

I said it then, I will say it now. Lamar has been, clearly, working on becoming a pocket passer, primarily.
We saw that the 1st year Monk was here, great competition % from the pocket, buying time, throwing on the run. The result?
Top 5 offense in passing, in redzone in 90+ yard drives.
But he will still leaving yards on field, either from not running or from holding the ball too long, getting sacked or throwing it away.
He was clearly torn on when to take off and when to dump it down, often missing a wide open runningback in the flat.
Shoot, his mother even went public telling him to run sooner.
Last season, we do not know what the issue was, family life getting in his head, bad line, injuries, who knows, but he was clearly was not playing- throwing nor running- as he did previous years, especially the one before.
Harbs blamed Monk, the Biscuit blamed all of them and here we are.
I expect Lamar will have worked it out, the timing on running vs buying time, this season. Be more like other qbs in the league who can run, like Allen, but know when to...
we neve4 saw Lamar being chased down from behind by dl. I saw it several times last yr. I figure he is running a 4.5 now. He is dramatically slower. As the run erodes bc speeds the first thing to go and he is one dimensional defenses will take away that middle he loves so much more and more. He will be less and less productive. He has never had to be a true pocket guy. I think the yrs to teach him how are in the past. I figure he has 3 yrs of starting ability left. The next 2 will be a retooling/rebuild so those yrs are wasted. That 3rd yr will look pretty bad. Don’t be on the hook for him past that.
I have yet to have anyone tell me a running qb who played a longtime with quality play.10 minutes ago, oldno82 said:You hit the nail on the head. If he can be more decisive about the timing and if the new coaching works out, he could have a really good year.
One thing I will add is that he can't let himself get down when events don't go his way. He needs to be more even keeled during a game that will have it's ups and downs, I think he tends to get down on himself and that hurts his leadership and confidence.
if ifs and buts…

Take that last game. He played like trash the first half. The 2nd he played well. But you pissed a half away. To little to late.
i agree it’s coaching. From hs through to when monk got here. He was not coached up on how to play the qb position. It was here is your play if it’s not there take off. You can get away with that until you get to this level. Then coordinators and defensive stars start breaking you down looking for those weaknesses. You can’t be having basic skills being taught in the nfl.

There is some truth to that but it's not always been his fault...Andrews not making a crucial catch, etc. The team goes into a funk in the playoffs which I really can't explain except to point to coaching problems. Maybe those will be resolved now that Minter is HC. We shall see.
Forget individual plays. He plays for the most part like crap in the playoffs. He has never had a great game in the postseason.

98 rock was talking about his contract situation. Scott was surprised that testers were not happy with the Lamar contract situation. Ppl were mad that he has so much cap space but when it matters does not produce.
-
Get those docs to look at him. I love guys like him.

I just saw a post from Kevin ostriecher on the ol. It was the passrush win rate against each of the starters. It also had their rankings at each spot. Nobody was better than 17 with rose. Lindy was the worst at 31. The best I could do is post the link.

Let him walk.

I loved when he met Eddie in the hole. Eddie just crumpled up.
-
I am more worried now after the presser than before. Do these guys think that their former bosses are going to help them from week to week? Minter thinks his biggest go to person is Eric? This was not done right.
-
the encyclopedic memory of remembering plays is nuts.
-
Not much a coach can do. It’s self motivation to want to be great and sacrifice to get there.
-
He really hasn’t been there the last few yrs. It’s a new offense. It should be important to him.
-
Does Lamar come to otas to learn the install of the offense?
-
I was not impressed with Miami.
-
Everyone with value who has an expiring deal in the next 3 yrs would be up to trade. It’s time to accumulate picks as high as possible.
-
Miami is doing what we should.
-
I think he has done his talking until post draft.
-
I wouldn’t expect it.

And he sat and learned. There is no time for starters to learn anymore with the practice rules. It is to late for Lamar to learn these skills.
