2019 Other NFL and Super Bowl Discussion

[21&500]

Grand master Bellichick will figure something out to smother Jackson in the first half.

I think KC can beat anyone, anywhere.

I get the feeling over half the league is waiting for Lamar to have that one horrible game or take that huge hit to feel better about themselves
that won’t change the fact that he’s a legitimate elite quarterback if not already the best qb as of today.
we had our chance to draft him knowing Rivers was headed into the twilight years
we could have had him sit behind Rivers for at least a year (Operation brain transplant)
instead we asked him if he would play wideout.
if he was wearing bolts today, he probably wouldn’t be as good as he is today, but there sure as hell wouldn’t be 90% raider fans in the stands. (Sickening)
only a handful of us on the CMB were banging the table for LJ
and having Derwin James play as well as he is, is the only reason I’m not in a straight jacket.

Yep, if Lamar was a Bolt, they'd probably have him put on some weight the way White did, which apparently rendered him much less effective...

Lamar is noticeably bigger.
There was one play yesterday where he ran and got sandwiched.
It was a big, big, ugly hit.
The entire sports bar 75+ people, collectively moaned.
Lamar got up immediately.
It looks like he might have some durability now !

Listened to someone talking about how its only a matter of time before he gets seriously injured, the way he plays. He's probably right.

Add me to that list - even the bigger Jackson is just not a big guy and IMO it is inevitable he is going to suffer a major injury by running so much.

You could surely be right.
Did you guys happen to see the hit ?
Lamar was sorta half way sliding, on his knees.
Then he got blasted front and rear.
By big defenders
looking for the big hit.
It was quite a hit.
But he got up right away.
I was glad he did not get paralyzed !
This guy is so elusive,
so difficult to defend.

Here's a shot of that hit:

He did jump up from that hit. But plenty of bigger guys than him get hurt. It is inevitable, IMO.

Letting your QB getting hit like that is a crime..... I read Ravens players pleading officials to protect him more... your own HC is killing him.

[wu-dai clan]

The Live camera angle was from the sideline over there,
opposite this camera angle.
It looked a lot worse than this.

Lamar is able to get skinny while running and he is so damn quick.

I will say this, he is definitely one wrong move away from get crushed,
and it all come crashing down, just like you guys are saying.

Russell Wilson is the one who does it right...the fine art of sliding...from his baseball background...and in that vein maybe Kyler too.

[foreigner]

You can see clearly in that picture he isnt sliding yet, Browns players legally can hit him like they did.

Yes there would. Why would that change because we had Lamar? Deano screwed up going to LA, plain and simple. He will never have a stadium filled with mostly Charger fans again.
