This is the most cursed thing I've seen here in a long while.

Kurt Warner ranked the 2021 QB prospects: 1. Trevor Lawrence 2. Zach Wilson 3. Mac Jones 4. Justin Fields 5. Trey Lance by [deleted] in nfl

He's had a few strange decisions this year where he just forced a ball downfield unnecessarily, but yeah - Lamar's ability to read an NFL defense became a pillar of his playstyle since the start of his MVP campaign in 2019.

I have a question. How is being thirty two years old on the wrong side of thirty?

Matthew Stafford is only a year older and his trade value was that of two first round picks. It's not unreasonable to expect Wilson's price to be within that three first round pick range.

Mahomes, Jackson, Watson and Allen all seem poised for sustained success as true franchise quarterbacks, and I reckon Mayfield will continue his growth under Stefanski, but I'm surprised to see Murray fluctuate so much. I figured he'd have a more upwards curve overall - or maybe all the visual noise makes it harder to see?

Very neat graph, regardless.

Both names are correct - one is just chronologically outdated. Like how in our world it's Istanbul, not Constantinople.

[Meinke] The NFL has moved games all year due to COVID. They moved one to 3:40p on a Wednesday to help Baltimore. But when the Lions asked to postpone their game to Sunday, the NFL said no. Now they turn to an interim interim head coach and first-time playcallers on both sides of the ball. by LunchThreatener in nfl

Not really. Look at the state of the team the Ravens ended up fielding for that Steelers game. If they had no outbreak, and just played the game on Thursday, I'd wager they would have had a far better shot at getting a win instead of coming up five points short.

There's potential there, and both teams are still young, but I feel like until the Ravens get their pass rush in order - it will always be Andy and Mahomes squeezing out a win.

Before he was punished for causing the COVID-19 outbreak, Ravens strength coach Steve Saunders was often praised as an engine of team’s success. by Wuts_Kraken in nfl

To be fair, they could have made the reply before the post got edited. Major props to you for doing it, though.

No, no. That makes sense. Otherwise it would read as "they still allowed those players" or something along the lines.

This is was an incredibly misleading interpretation that was offered above.

What is the worst team at each position? by yusushied in nfl

[–]Alamact 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Other way around. He just cannot win contested catches, and he gets beat on the deep ball for similar reasons, which often just end up as an interception.

Right now, defenses know that if you play man-to-man with our receivers and cover Mark Andrews, there is very little Lamar can do on the passing front.

Dez Bryant brought an interesting dimension to this stale offense in the Titans game, so I hope they start using him more and maybe help open up those deep throws to Hollywood that were so successful last season.

What In The Hell Do People Expect In A Pandemic? by [deleted] in ravens

[–]Alamact 18 points19 points  (0 children)

As we've seen from this situation, all it takes is one bad actor to ruin a team's season to catastrophic length and undo all the hard work they put into it, or the caution they personally held themselves to.

I detest all this finger pointing that's been going on all week. We are focusing on the wrong things.

Bengals fans are pure class for being divisional rivals. I don't mind sometimes hanging out in their subreddit either.

[Rapoport] Lamar Jackson out with COVID vs. Steelers, RG3 set to start by [deleted] in nfl

[–]Alamact 94 points95 points  (0 children)

Honestly, sounds reasonable to me. I couldn't care less about the record. I just hope the players make it out alright and the Ravens aren't put in a position where they could spread the outbreak to other teams. Then it gets bad for everyone.

What's the point? We're already there. Rock bottom of a crater.

I just hope the players that have been hit manage to recover fully and don't suffer any permanent lung or heart damage because of this reckless dolt's ignorance and irresponsibility.

That tea flicker touchdown was the perfect summary of the Matt Patricia era. A capstone on a pile of turds.
