  • as usual the lamestream media misses the point on Lamar's situation....

    From michael anderson@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 7 17:57:35 2023
    No, the ravens didn't decide to "let the free market decide" on this Lamar thing. It's not a free market when 2 firsts *and* a mega deal are required to get him. I think it's likely some team like the falcons would have done 5/230+ guaranteed to lamar,
    but not that and 2 frps.

    And then you see another group of lamestream media types railing on about possible collusion. no it's not collusion(see above). Lamar is a really good qb in the right system whose legs are a serious threat. But no qb today short of mahomes and maybe
    Allen is worth 50ish mill a year guaranteed *and* multiple frps.....so of course Lamar isn't either. That explains it...not collusion.

    Would not be surprised if he sits a year.

    Once he gets contained he's just not all that good.

    That's... kind of the idea of the mobile quarterback.

    Getting to that point (without Lamar being banged up) is another discussion entirely.
