Gimmick offenses have short short lifespans in the NFL
People keep saying this, but it isn't panning out. Jackson is one of the best players in the league.
seriously.. of course they are going to have to make adjustments.. but they blew out the best defense and schemer in the NFL. Giants fans are resistant to any kind of change..
Ravens passed on him twice before trading up. Belichick passed on him twice. If you redid the draft he’d go #1.
i agree he is the #1 player. I get why teams passed, you have to literally remake your offense in his image. Most teams just dont have the balls to do this..

Don't you also keep saying how few starts Jackson has had whenever anyone criticizes him? Shouldn't both sides of this argument be waiting for a larger sample size?

No, because the Ravens are one of the best teams in the league with him right now.
No one is saying that he isn't have GREAT success right now...
But if I had to bet whether Lamar Jackson will be able to operate in this type of system for the next 5-7 years with similar success, I would bet against it.
And if i had to bet whether Lamar Jackson could learn to become the type of QB that could beat you with his arm when teams take his legs away, I would bet against that as well.
We will see, gentlemen... And I promise that if I'm proven wrong, I will jump on here 1-2 years from now to eat some humble pie.
and then Lamar ran for a 47 yd TD. So you think Lamar is a flash in the pan? They just routed the Patriots

true statement, imo
RG3 had 4.3 speed.
i agree he is the #1 player. I get why teams passed, you have to literally remake your offense in his image. Most teams just dont have the balls to do this..
Has nothing to do with Giants fans or being resistant. It's just proven out over the years.
He's playing at an extremely high level in this offense right now
Hes thin (like RG3) and they may be the issue with an injury/
Let's see what happens when he needs to throw more.

I agree. They will. And then we will see if LJax matures into a dependable pocket passer.
But he is different right now because he's (1) absolutely fearless and (2) has world class speed.

He didnt need to throw against NE?

It's just one man's opinion
158.3 Passer Rating
One of the two incompletions was spiking the ball at end of first half
7 carries 65 yards rushing 1 TD
It’s not a gimmick offense
