The same that you could put on any oline that had to deal with 5 to 7 players every play! Its the Ravens fault for not leaving the pistol formation that would allow the screen and more passes to be there. There were open receivers that Lamar missed. But, the formation again didn't help.
The bolded part! He's the QB and they shoulder the load good or bad. In our case he's in control either passing or QB running 66% of the time. So its going to be more on him than on an offense that throws and runs 50/50.
The drops didn't help but that happens some times to all teams
Ok ...Thanks
So I am not sure he's referring to injury. Even if he's not seriously injured running Quarterbacks dont tend to age well is the poster's point.
Vick played until he was 35 but wasn't a full time starter after 32. I think is pretty safe to assume you cant count on after 32. But that doesn't even matter right now.
Its a good point the OP makes, there are a lot of question marks and I would suspect these teams aren't done yet either. There is a reason the MFY just freed up $10 in space with the Ottavino trade. They also have German and Montgomery who could help.
With the broadcast team announced... Palmer, Brown, McDonald... okay!
Arnold, Hollander, Long, Newman... meh. We'll give them some time.
Garceau... my soul died a little.
Assuming most of the good Bowie pitchers have to try to do Norfolk world domination before maybe an Akin/Kremer sized sip, would anyone want Jake Arrieta at ANY price for the Sutcliffe things?
Floor starting pitchers with little October upside are the one group (Happ, Quintana, Lester) of players falling far short of Fangraphs guesses among recent signees. I somewhat suspect no one very good really wants 2021 Arrieta pitching for them, but as ever...we may have a job for some qualified major leaguer.
He'd be more entertaining than a Milone clone, but does the regime feel he's anyone for Kremer, Akin, etc. to be around (non-Cobb category) for a year.
How much of this can you put on the O-line and lack of separation by receivers? I feel like he shoulders so much pressure with the "If I don't make the play, no one will" attitude, that yes he does tend to hold onto the ball too long instead of throwing it away. What about the two HUGE drops by Dobbins wide open in space? That first drop was game changing in my opinion.
People love the traditional stand back in the pocket and sling it everywhere QB. Which is why everyone now loves Josh Allen. People love to pile on Lamar for being 1-3 in the playoffs. Josh Allen is 2-2. Lamar has an MVP to his name at 24 (Josh played at an MVP level this year). He was awful in that Chiefs playoff game. I imagine Josh Allen will be looking to get paid this offseason as well. Market shows he will be in the same 35-40 million dollar range, now that Watson signed the deal in Houston. Hard to say you are getting less than all of these other QB's that, in theory have produced equally, or less than Lamar has. I get it and the thought process. But, its either pay the man or risk being awful, while attempting to find your next franchise QB.
I pay the man.
