So The best show ever on 975 is pretty unbearable. Hunter’s voice is like nails to a chalk board and he has takes worse than some trolls on here. Tyronne the dictator just yells. Feel bad for Ricky cause some of the topics he’s just outside of his element. The intro is even worse and takes forever to finally get into the damn show. More so they lost westbrook and jaws with the station to WIP. I’m actually curious to see how long it is until they really see huge issues with the station and heads start rolling.

His AAV has been pretty much pigeon-holed by the Murray and Wilson deals.  You're worth more than Murray at $46M because he has no MVP, but you're worth less than Wilson at $49M because you have no Super Bowl ring.  That leaves a pretty small range.

The Ravens seem married to him publicly and he may be trying to take advantage of that.  He's becoming less durable and less efficient each season -- get your pay day now.

If the Ravens are smart they can let his deadline pass, put out there that they may franchise tag him during the offseason, and see what trade market forms at the trade deadline.

 

Wilson didn't get a Super Bowl ring for Denver though.  I think Lamar ends up with a bigger deal than Wilson, he's 8 years younger than him.  

 

Becoming less durable each season?  The only time he has missed any time due to injury in his pro career was this past season.

Yeah it's very unlistenable.  Mikey Miss has been terrible for the past several years but even his show was far better than what they are putting out right now in that timeslot.  The ratings have to be absolutely horrible for the show.  I can't imagine it lasting past the football season.

He’ll definitely be missed, but I think we got a good one to take over. Can’t hurt Cam gets a year under Kelce too.

It was on Howie, but far from 100%. GMs work with their HCs, a HC who won a SB obviously will have more pull. Peddy wanted someone explosive who could stretch the field.

It came down to a desire to keep the window open, the thought was they had an intermediate pass catcher in Ertz, who was more WR than TE, what they needed was a WR who could stretch the field. The mistake actually wasn't Reagor over Jefferson if you accept this reasoning, but Reagor period, he was too raw to start for a team with aspirations to return to the SB and shouldn't have been taken in the 1st rd. Thing was they already had DeSean in that role.

The bigger problem was it should have been clear that by 2020 the party was over, and it was time to start the rebuild.

But it's hard for a franchise to accept that they're no longer competitive and take a long view when you've made the playoffs and feel with a little better injury luck  . . . but one reason you're having bad injury luck is you have too many aging players.

This why they are paid the big bucks.

I like him and think he is a good dude as well. The only thing that bugs sometimes is he is smarter than he pretends to be playing the clueless/average guy card. Maybe that's part of the over the top thing you mentioned.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Ravens aren't willing to offer what Murray offered.  Kyler has been a far better passing QB.  Lamar is able to succeed based on his running ability.  He has been below average as a passer and has only gone over 3,000 yards passing once.  He missed time for back and ankle issues last season.  The bet Lamar may be making is that he will play better this year as a passer.  Next year Burrow and Herbert may get extensions.  The cap is going to go up as will the QB franchise tag.

Lamar is not a QB, he is a RB like Hurts(Unless he can prove different). 

If Im the Ravens he gets just over the top RB contract, if not bye bye. Honestly though I would never want him even at that $$$ so Id just say Bye Bye anyways.

I agree. But I get it. The point is to get young viewers and that’s who he appeals to

You guys are a bunch of old fuddy-duddies. The game is changing and has been for a while. The college game is schematically always ahead of the pro game and QBs who can run are in the ascendancy. Absolutely you want your QB to be able to throw well, but the pressure on a defense if the QB is a serious running threat is enormous. It breaks keys, it alters defensive schemes, it almost forces you to play zone. 

Mind you, I am an older fuddy-duddy than either of you, maybe as old as you two combined. If I can see this, you should be able to.

That’s what he just said. Lamar isn’t a great passer.

Wholeheartedly disagree. 

Sure it's an added bonus if a QB is elite at throwing, but can also move (Allen, Mahomes). Having said that, there are far more examples of QBs that dont have said added bonus being every bit if not more dangerous.

We won a Superbowl with a literal statue four seasons ago, for crying out loud.

False.  NFL defensive coordinators figure out running QB's fast enough.  Take away the run, and make them pass.

Look at Lamar Jackson in the playoffs, shut down. 

This may be the worst take this year, and with bacarty, rtk and jsb setting an extremely high bar, you really have outdone yourself.

My favorite argument is that mobile QBs make the running game go.

Help a brother out, how many yards did we rush for in our SB run with literal statue Nick Foles?

Idk look at these running skills… dual threat 

 So Kelce announced that he’s starting on Sunday, hopefully he got the coaches permission to say that out loud.   
  I’m not a fan of Marcus Hayes normally but I did listen to him today on Birds 365 and him calling the Eagles, well Siriani a clown for the competitive advantage nonsense over the backup tackle, was spot on.    
 Hayes also believes Doug is a much better football coach than Nick. 

This is Steichens quote from yesterday.

Of course the math of the run game changes with a mobile QB. Any coach would tell you that.

Gee... that's a hard one to see coming.   Oh, wait.  On the contrary, I pointed it out as a problem a few years ago.  And you said that it was a myth and tried to throw some stats about 'missed games' or whatever not being related to age.  Nonsense.
