IMO Our def scheme sucks...

    Just watching that game last week I could see a couple passes where Jackson was simply 'scanning' for an open receiver and not quite understanding what was in front of him.   Weeden-esque  

    As for the easy speed option that was muffed...?   I guess some things can just be 'too' easy.   ?

    The same guy who scouts told to be a wide receiver. He played in a simpler system vs simpler defenses in college. Those reads will come easier with time.

    I think he will be in the league a while just due to his speed/explosiveness/durability. Like a smaller, quicker Cam Newton.

    Reads don't just become easy when the defense is designed to attack your strengths.  Right now Lamar is in an offense that masks his severe deficiency as a passer.   Which is why if Balt draws NE I'll be watching.   Few coaches scheme against mobile passers better than Bill.  They have the interior presence to run lighter box counts and still force Lamar lateral on keep or make him fight through contact on the inside Designs.  

    And it isn't so much can Lamar improve. He absolutely can and probably will.   Instead it is - can Lamar improve to the point of being a franchise passerpasser while staying alive? I have severe doubts and there is a large amount of evidence that would point to 'no'.

    As I wrote earlier... it's a race between Jackson developing his head and it getting knocked off.

    The latter maybe easier to say than do. Watched parts of the game again and he was not only very elusive, but his acceleration was amazing and he was bigger/taller than I remember him at Louisville. Nowhere near Newton size, but taller and strong enough to accelerate thru some arm tackles.

    Difficult target able to take some punishment, but it's the one he doesn't see coming that will get him.

    His neck is built really thick. Maybe you’re right about him getting hit but I think he’ll be able to handle it.

    Also while moving that fast it’s hard to get a good shot on the QB.

    He is literally faster than most guys on any front 7..as well as lot of safeties.. he is a matchup nightmare because his arm is to be respected. He hits holes and cuts like an RB. 

    When it comes to reads.. time will tell. If he can develop as a passer, it would be very bad news for the AFCN..

    That's cool,  RG3 is still faster than any LB in the NFL and some safeties.  I think you fail to understand this point - time and punishment is the enemy of any football player.   Baltimore is asking their QB to double his contact rate and be a long-term franchise QB (10 years) That simply is unheard of and hard to imagine will happen in 2019.

    Edit: I would also say Lamar is every bit as raw as Tebow was.  RG3 had better passing mechanics so this makes the improvement curve that much more steep.   You're starting at a lower point than most young QB's and the Ravens know that. 

  • Lamar got harbaugh his ext tho. 

  • @clevfan4life said:

    Your guy's rose colored glasses are the direct result of Baker taking over the team. Had he not, that defense would have completely folded by midseason. They would have been on the field forever. But if you objectively look at the defense, it's worse than last year and spent far fewer snaps on the field cause we finally got an offense worth a damn. The secondary is building something for sure, it's not like Im completely down on them. The talent at certain spots is absolutely there...this "should" have easily been a top 15 defense. The only reason I can conceive of why it wasn't are these weird hybrid looks I've been pointing out for prob 2 months now. They weren't fooling anyone and it looked like it wasn't putting our talented players in positions to make plays. That's on the DC, period. I could let Sunday go if it was the first time we got run over and it was our first look at a pro RO offense blah blah blah.....but we were near dead last against the run and you can't have that if you want a defense that supports the offense. That concept should not have to be explained to any of you. 

    Now you're just sticking your fingers in your ears and loudly going "LaLaLaLa... La".

    How can you do that and type at the same time?

    Ur right Our defense is so good. Its so good its near dead last in the nfl...no wait i mean its like 15th in some random obscure alternate universe where yards given up over the course of 16 games is not the measure anymore of a defense. 

    Im sure if dick butkus was listening in on this thread he'd be like now fuck me running whats this dvda business? Lols......this is what stats kunts have done to football. You can give up almost the most amt of yds in the entire NFL but someone will pipe up and say but we havent "contextualized" these yards. Is a yard really a yard? What is a yard afterall? Who says a yard is a yard? What is this arbitrary measure of distance? Who says more yards isnt better than less yards? I defy these archaic measures of defensive competence that rely simply on lining up and beating ur man. Pfffttttt

    Yeah, and I already pointed out by your same yardstick, Kansas City's defense is even worse than the Browns, and they're the #1 seed. 

    We're going to try to improve the defense this off season- so stop bitching about what happened in 2018.

    As I and others have said at this point, Jackson is essentially a running back, with below average passing skills. Comparing his accuracy to Mayfield's is a joke. As I pointed out at the rate he's ran the ball this year (nearly 100 yards per game) he'd be on pace to win the rushing title next year. That's just plain crazy to think it's sustainable.

    And remember the physics equation. Force = Mass X Acceleration. The faster Lamar is moving, the bigger the hit he's going to take.

    because of Mahommes. The first team that controls the ball and runs all over them, while still scoring points at the end of those long drives..that's the crucial part....that team will win. Peyton Manning only had one ring with the Colts because the prolific pass rushing defense with mathis and freeney couldn't stop the run come playoff time. That's been written about countless times, that's not "my" analysis. Infact that's how I became so adamant about having a defense that can at least serviceably stop the run....because I watched a defense nerf the career of who imo is the greatest QB of all time.

    Interesting. So if we take the square root of the yds given up by this defense than divide by 2...….is that DVDA?

    We're arguing about the same thing- don't get defensive. Do the Browns need to improve the run defense to be a serious Super Bowl contender? Absolutely. We can argue about the specifics on how to get there. 

    Now if Baker takes the next step and starts putting up Mahomes numbers this year, it won't be quite as important. The 2019 goal is the playoffs, Super Bowl is a stretch.

    The SB is not a stretch to me. I watched a rookie QB put up historic numbers with a "decent" but cobbled together WR crew. Face it, this is not the WR corp we thought we were going to have at the beginning of the year. We expected Landry ofc but also Coleman and Josh to be the guys. What's happened is amazing and I give those guys credit for stepping up, but it's Baker mainly. We have to strike now. Im not suggesting going out and finding Mack like contracts, like im not suggesting we spread our cheeks for a diva like Brown to come in and fuck everything up....but we need to move now with some FA signings to shore up key deficiencies so that we have the north wrapped up next year "easily" and we're in the discussion for AFC championship. What we do the next 1-2 years will determine how well we can keep talent like Myles. To me Garrett is every bit as important as Baker because like a good QB, players want to come play with other stud defensive players like that. Especially down lineman. Hard to attract a great pass rusher to ur team cause you have a great CB, but another pass rusher or DL like Myles and that brings em here.

    And that KC defense, it was fine for them to coast through the season on Mahommes back....but in the playoffs, if they think they're gonna get away with that....their HC should bring in Manning to have a talk with them about how his historic offensive performances meant nothing come playoff time when he couldn't get on the field.

    It’s not sustainable.. if he develops as a passer, he won’t run as much therefore take less hits.

    As for hits, there are more variables to take into consideration, like center of gravity, weight of players, etc. not everyone is built the same.. 

    All that I’m trying to say is that he has the potential to be scary good.

    Of course if their run game/defense was bad, he’d be struggling right now. I get that.

    RG3 was a system QB. He had guys wide open because of the zone run scheme with Alfred Morris tearing it up.

    He never had the arm to be a threat from he pocket.
