i love this analysis, even as a ravens fan i'll admit that lamar can seem a bit uncomfortable when given the role of a true passer even if he has progressed greatly in his ability over his career. glad you pointed out the play calling issues against KC as well. I believe with a new play caller and lamar fresh off of a season where he was tasked to pass against an elite secondary could allow him to work under pressure better. there's always been solid progression between his seasons and it's exciting to see what will happen
Lamar is certainly a great player, but I dont think currently there are 2 better qbs than Mahomes and Allen. They are the most reliable, have the most playmaking ability, have great arms, and are very smart.
"... almost as if they were Trying To Prove he can be a great pocket passer." Yeah, Lamar himself did say _something about_ that but I never heard the original quote. & it almost feels like under Roman as OC for the previous three years, he was told to do everything to _undermine that_ & call plays designed to prove that the Ravens can only win super-bowls with substandard passing plays. I actually do wonder if guilt over this caused Harbaugh & Co. to bend too far over the other way & didn't realize they were _pushing_ Lamar to go long every play instead of setting those plays up to succeed by mixing things up. It does seem like they tried harder as the game went. Jackson only started looking desperate late, _too_ late to make a difference. So if there was panic before, it was likely that of the play-callers, not him.
Running QBs are still a big risk in the NFL. Jackson is going to have to become a better pocket passer. He exciting, but he is still erratic. Jackson not just a running back, but thats what he is reduced to when his receivers are covered and thevO line has no clue to what hevis doing behind them.
The memes against Lamar are insane. People should be apologizing for the ones due strictly to Greg Roman's play-calling since it's now been proven that was the problem. Instead, this happened. Yeah. It seems obvious that they panicked & tried to be clever, failing utterly. The same thing kept happening with Brady with no DC ever watching tape & realizing "oh, soft zone hands him the victory & bringing pressure works." Everyone kept doing the opposite. Question: care to look into Fields' tenure under Eberflus specifically? I have my reasons. But the main ones are more than rhetorical. The first time we saw him stare at an open receiver, likely everyone thought & felt what I did: worry that he'd been concussed earlier. This wasn't a Zach Wilson panicked non-throw. He scrambled, got open, saw an open receiver, wound up, had plenty of time... Then he tucked the ball down & tried to restart running. Here's the thing though; Why didn't the Bears take him into the blue tent for concussion protocol? Once they didn't do this everyone's dread shifted from being worried he'd gotten concussed to realizing that the only way the Bears _could have _*_KNOWN_* he *wasn't concussed* was if he was executing the plays As Called & the rhetoric reflected this. People said it was something the Bears had to do in order to simplify the offense for Fields. But what was the "it" here? Ordering him to not throw to certain receivers on certain plays? Well, yeah. That's what they did & everyone knew it for a hot minute. Then human nature took over & people realized that this meant they were Deliberately Sabotaging Fields. so after two weeks the rhetoric shifted & became "he can't read defenses." This made no more sense than the first one as one doesn't need to "read defenses" when the receiver is wide open. But at least it didn't implicate the coaches as the previous meme did. So people stuck with that despite the fact that it has been statistically proven that fields reads defenses better, did so in college than many NFL QBs do now. This is something I can link a video for as well as other evidence that the Bears were, intentionally or not, messing with him consistently. I don't know *that* such a video can affect things, but I'd like someone to make one. I won't link other potentially competing RUclipsrs' works here unless you give that permission, but it can potentially affect a great QB's career in a positive way, so here's hoping.
The problem with your analysis is the fact that Lamar is erratic with or without pressure. He plays about the same now as he did in previous years. You can't get a rhythm going when you don't know how your QB will handle it. Running QBs are exciting even when the team does not play well. There have been other QB who were good at running and can throw on the run. The difference is that some of the others have better field vision AND can hit the receiver on the run. Some like Randall Cunningham and Steve Grogan became better pocket passers in thier latter years. Others like Cam never learned to e a pocket passer. You have to have a passing game in the NFL today. The MVP is an individual award.
@@williamfulk9574 Yeah, & dismissing "play-calling" as being equivalent to "making excuses" isn't cheap? Look at Lawrence on the Jags from '22 to '23. This channel did a video on it. Pederson was calling the offense in '22. Of _COURSE_ play-calling is a factor. Yeah, Lamar seems to have up & down games & while the toilet run became a meme Every Other Athlete In The World seems to be able to time their eating schedule so that this doesn't happen so I'm wondering if he doesn't have a hidden health issue. But Roman's schemes were called out by channels that don't make $ making videos calling out OCs. If anything, Kurt Warner refused to allow all the flack he caught for doing one from stopping him doing another. Every other OC knows tto start 2 receivers together then split them up to confuse the defense. Roman sends them _into_ running to the same place making sure they're both covered by one defender. A guy calls plays that terrible for 3 years it's no wonder people think Lamar is an over-rated RB despite winning two MVPs.
@@ChewsCarefully He is overrated and let’s face it MVP is basically a popularity contest. You can shift the blame to the OC all you want, Lamar shoulders a majority of the blame for his postseason failures. Just curious, which OC made Lamar to throw into triple coverage? Was it the OC’s fault when Lamar threw a pick 6 against Buffalo a few years ago. Lamar fanboys give him all the credit when they win and none of the responsibility when he loses.
@@williamfulk9574 Oh I just _LOVE_ false equivalences. So if no OC forced him to throw into triple coverage in one game, no OC called terrible plays ever? Or just on the Ravens for three years. & while yeah the MVP often seems like that, Lamar won it this year for winning consistently against top-ranked teams. No one else did that this past year. The year Steve McNair was co-MVP with Peyton Manning is so embarrassing. _That_ felt like an infant's first attempt at affirmative action or better yet, making the whole thing seem like a farce, giving the Black QB with the worse stats equal status. Back then, yeah it was political, a popularity contest etc. But in 1990 between them Warren Moon & Randall Cunningham out-did Joe Montana in every major category. But guess what color the most popular player was _that_ year?
This is a rather surface level breakdown and I think a lot of points were fabricated. Certainly a better analysis than those that mainstream talking heads give but yet another video focusing too much on the plays that were called and not coaching as a whole, which was the clear difference maker in this game (other than the fumble). This game said much, much more about andy reid compared to harbaugh rather than mahomes compared to lamar. neither qb (or practically anyone on offense other than kelce) had a good game on either team. Yet, as you say (and also say its unfair despite doing yourself?) one player unfairly gets blamed for things not under his control. You aren't a 2x mvp and have "questions to prove". Thats not how the NFL works. There's one qb currently in the nfl that plays better in the playoffs, and its patrick mahomes. EVERY other qb declines marginally, and lamar fits in the same category as everybody else. To put a narrative on him and not josh allen (1-4 past the wildcard round) or joe burrow (losing playoff record when defense allows > 23ppg.) is hilarious and "unfair", as you said. Some decent points throughout this video, and you definitely know what you're talking about more than just about every NFL fan. However, also some very ridiculous and extremely surface level fabrications during it too.
Thanks for watching, and I appreciate your comment. I look forward to continue to improve my analysis, scripting, and production and always acknowledge I’m still learning. Comments like yours help push me to be better.
Lamar has a current career record of 62-24 with a .721 win percentage. 20-3 vs the NFC and is now a 2X MVP….. If that is considered “garbage” to you then you don’t know ball. Lamar is a GREAT QB that needs to get over the playoff hump like Manning had to back in the day.
i love this analysis, even as a ravens fan i'll admit that lamar can seem a bit uncomfortable when given the role of a true passer even if he has progressed greatly in his ability over his career. glad you pointed out the play calling issues against KC as well.

finally a fair assessment of lamar in this afc title game, thank you...
This was far from a fair analyis. Was extremely surface level and agenda based
Just found this channel today how tf do you not have more views and subs ? You make great content !!
Really, really appreciate the kind words man!
Warren Sharp's mustache is incredible. It's obvious it was something he cultivated, but he behaves like it's something that just happened. Amazing.
Great video
Great content as always

Aaahh ... I hate it when people are right about the shortcomings of my favourite athletes.

Before it was Greg Roman’s fault, eventually you Lamar apologists are going to run out of excuses.

Dude just isn't a real quarterback. Plain and simple. Everyone knows it, but there are only a few of us that will actually say it. Well I said it.
Billionaire owners don't gamble. It's scripted sir
Yea just found out that sports is rigged. All they have to do is provide entertainment, but sports is a business ppl don't realize that.
The TV money is guaranteed. They already know they're making $110B for the next decade or so why rig the league?
Boohoo

Garbage QB. He needs to give back some of his salary IMO.
Lamar has a current career record of 62-24 with a .721 win percentage. 20-3 vs the NFC and is now a 2X MVP…..
If that is considered “garbage” to you then you don’t know ball. Lamar is a GREAT QB that needs to get over the playoff hump like Manning had to back in the day.
I guess Manning was also garbage because he didn't win his first sb until he was 30
Tell me you’re an idiot without telling me you’re an idiot
One of the best regular season quarterbacks ever
@@jmmj48782-4 in the playoffs tho 😂
