DawgTalkers.net Forums Thread Like Summary - Lamar

This whole situation has turned into bizzaro world.

Everybody involved is giving the politically correct answer. But something is rotten in Denmark.

Nobody walks in Lamar's shoes. But it seems many are questioning why is he not playing?

Harbaugh and the Ravens say he is our guy and our future. Lamar is consistently quoted about all I want to do is win Super Bowls.

Yet what is really going on? No deal. No play. Three games from a Super Bowl. Way slower recovery from a PCL sprain. Questionable use of medical terminology. "Knee unstable."

Lamar has missed the playoffs before.

What would you do if you are the Ravens? Franchise tag available. How will Lamar react if the tag is applied?

Quarterbacks don't grow or fall off trees.

I would seriously consider trading him for max value. At least see what offers come.

Lamar not traveling w/the team is huge. Harbaugh looks like he is about to have a nervous breakdown. I wonder what Baltimore could get for Lamar in a trade? Analysts are saying even more than Watson got, but I don't know about that. Watson has always been a much better passer of the football than Lamar. I am not talking about stats. I'm talking about making reads, throwing to the right guy, using all parts of the field, accuracy, etc. Glad the Rats are in a precarious position. They stole our team.

Does he have a dog?

I don't care what you do for a living, turning down 133 million guaranteed is a fools move. He may never get another offer that good. But I do have to say, "Mission accomplished, Andrew Berry!" At least a portion of the mission.

I believe it will be a pleasant surprise how well the defense will play.

There is talent on the defense. Myles, Ward, Newsome, JOK, Delpit, Emerson, even Winfrey these are talented players.

Other guys like Taki, Walker, and even JJ3 are starter caliber players who can play in a scheme and be productive in defined roles.

The pieces to have a good defense are there. We just need to add players who are not liabilities and coach them properly.
