    Hoorta explained who Bobby Garrett is.    #1 overall pick in the draft by the Browns.....who could not play because his speech defect was so bad he could not communicate the plays to his teammates in the huddle, and could not call the plays at the line of scrimmage.

    Unfortunate for him... I had a speech impediment due to being born with a split pallet that eventually healed.. I took speech therapy classes when I was in Elementary school.. I had difficulty with R's , S's , T's and L's... I overcame it pretty darn well.. My ability to enunciate improved because of it.. I have also been Hearing Impaired since birth... And am legally blind in My left eye.. I never let disabilities stop me from living.. I became an accomplished musician despite the obstacles in My way...

    Were you around the year the Raiders won the Superbowl and they attempted to interview CB Lester Hayes? He was totally unintelligible. But a professor of speech therapy saw it, called him with a diagnosis of what he heard and offered to work with him. The next time there was a TV interview the following season he was a changed speaker. The 13 INTs, 2 Fum Rec. that season should have put the 5 time pro-bowler in he HOF. He' still waiting.

    yeah, I just can't remember what year that was...

  • The guy is such a freak athlete. I'm sure he'll start making highlight reels soon enough. 

    Seems like he's got his head on straight,  and he works hard.  Didn't really matter what team he went to because I knew he wasn't going to the Browns.  

    I'd simply like to see him do well. He's one of the most exciting players I've ever seen.

    That's how I feel as well.  I was glad to see him leave college, as he tortured my Seminoles for far too long, but I was NOT happy to see him come to our division.  I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure we'll see him this season with his own small package of plays.  And when they get near the goal line, I fully expect he'll be in the game.

    Sure sounds like he'll be starting soon enough. And yeah seeing him 2x a year might suck for a long time. 

    People who think he can only run... He's just a scrambler,  can't hurt people passing it... etc... Will be sorely mistaken.

    Well hopefully those who think that will not be mistaken at all and the Ravens will suck for decades.

    I saw Lamar Jackson play alot in college, and yes he is a great runner, yes, he is a great athlete, however, he isn't a great QB, I think the Ravens drafted him for ticket sales versus ability. After all the Ravens valued him so much they drafted Hayden Hurst just 7 picks ahead of him. So 32 teams basically didn't grade him that high. I watch him play, he has problems under pressure, he has accuracy issues I am glad the Ravens because he has bust written all over him. He could prove me wrong, but I doubt it.

    The Ravens have zero problems selling tickets.

    They drafted Jackson to be their eventual franchise QB. I don't think it was a wise move, but that's why they drafted him.

    For the most part true.  Can the college guys learn how to play the professional quarterback  game and everything else that goes with it or not regardless of where they are drafted.

    Also why NCAA statistics and accolades are no guarantee of future success on Sundays.

    Nothing is. So what? Throwing the dice doesn't guarantee you will roll at 7, but the odds are slightly better.

    Now that is generally  true, if you have a high pick and like a quarterback....and need one, I guess you go for a top pick.

    This year Mayfield wasn't most people's top quarterback or #1 pick but I don't think it was a blue ribbon class.

    I was listening to "Movin' the Chains" guys on NFL Radio and they talked about the fact that when you have an athlete that good you want to use him in special situations to create headaches for DC's. They did not think this meant he would not be primarily a QB.

  • @tiamat63 said:

    Unfortunately Lamar won't be starting year one so we can't bet over RoTY.

    So we could bet on Lamar going to the pro bowl his first full year starting. 

    This is a tricky one. Let's try and keep it to this year.

    If he doesn't play it's a push.

    If he gets 2 out of 4 on the following list I win.

    Lamar will be one of the top 3 passers in this rookie class. (Adjusted for playing time)

    He will win atleast half of the games he starts.

    He will complete atleast 60% of his passes with a 2:1 td/int ratio.

    He will take the ravens to the playoffs.

    Outside of the completion percentage I nailed this. I was nervous about these predictions because I was pretty much the only one on team Jackson. I'm not so crazy after all huh?

    Well done.    Now,  O/U on how long his playing career lasts.    I'll set it at 2 years.   

    I guess I didn't anticipate the Ravens dumbing down the offense in favor of short term gains.  But Harbaugh saved his job.

    I explained that's why I loved that fit. If he went to any other team I wouldnt have been that high on him but he had Greg Roman on his side. Hes made careers for Kapernick, Tyrod, and salvaged Alex Smith. I think if schottenheimer wansnt there I think Greg Roman would have done an even better job with him

    He's a very good halfback, and throws the ball at least as good as Jarvis Landry. 

    Jackson has avoided taking a kill shot- so far. 🙂

    "Careers" Is hardly the word for the first two.   They're backups that require cutting down your offense in ways that make it ineffective (at best)  at times. 

    Smith's time in KC showed he didn't rescue shit.  Just brought ball control and identity to the Niners at that point.  

    You're still essentially making the connection you wanted Lamar and Roman here because you wanted to emulate Kaep.   As the NFL showed,  it'll catch up to you while costing you your QB.  

    I'll be back to bump your thread when Lamar starts missing open passes from the added punishment,  has rush lanes closed on him and in general has issues being red zone effective.   

    Pray the Ravens don't play NE in Foxboro..
