Let's Talk About Baltimore (AFC Championship)
(https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=351915)
People claim this is the worst offense of the Mahomes era, and statistically, that is true. But really, this roster is mostly the same as last year's Super Bowl winning roster. Arguably, this team's offense has a higher ceiling in terms of total talent.
The difference this year, and which has been the topic of much discussion, is drops and penalties. There was a lack of focus. But, what happens if this team suddenly learns how to erase the dumb penalties and make routine catches? I think we're finding out now... https://media.tenor.com/Zykw-HKxmbMA...more-happy.png |

Mahomes isn't going to tell Spags how to call the defense. That's Willie Gay's job. |

Calling Lamar dumb because of his accent (literally just a kid from South Florida)/some contrived written exam for draft prospects (which Stroud also bombed)/the fact that he wears a wristband (Tom Brady did too) is a tired trope.
It’s especially funny because this article came out today from the Washington Post: “Lamar Jackson’s vision and intellect have unlocked the Ravens offense” (washingtonpost.com/sports/2024/01/18/lamar-jackson-ravens-offense/). In it, people who engage with football on a professional level call him a savant. But sure, Chiefsplanet posters don’t like the way he talks in the postgame. Lamar is an all-time player not just because of the accolades like Hesiman trophy winner and 2x MVP, but also because what he’s doing is revolutionary. He has been a large factor in ushering in a new era of QB play. And he’s not a Greek God like Cam Newton or Anthony Richardson; I think his speed is even a bit overstated. He does it because of his processing/vision. Maybe not the type of processing Peyton Manning did, but processing of leverage, running lanes, whether to keep or give in the RPO. And this to smashing success. What makes that less than? He needs the title to cement it, so here’s to hoping. |

The chiefs hold the dolphins under 30 in both game and they had the best offense in the nfl. The ravens who has the 6th ranked offense is going to drop over 30 on the chiefs? That just a little disrespectful to the Chiefs defense. The ravens are only 1st in rushing offense.

Yup.
He's gonna still be amazing when he's 33 and doesn't have his legs to create coverage chaos and allow holes in the back end to develop. Because...savant. That's definitely why the Ravens weren't willing to give him all those guarantees he was asking for, obviously why they were trying to drum up a trade market for him and clearly why they made sure to leave themselves an out in his contract before he turned 30... Probably because they figured that when he's 30 years old, he'll be looking to get started on his career as an offensive coordinator. That's them just doing him a solid. |

Would Lamar be good if he was immobile and had to rely entirely on his arm like Joe Flacco? No. But he doesn’t need to be Barry Sanders at QB like he was in his early days. The threat of him recognizing running lanes/reading leverage and beating one man in the open field opens up so much for him. Those aren’t things that will go away even if his raw speed does. And even if he doesn’t play when he’s 33+, so what? Oh no, we only got a decade of multiple MVPs/historic regular seasons/potential Super Bowls out of the 32nd overall pick, what a disaster! The Ravens will reinvent themselves as they have multiple times before and be right back in it. Unlike some franchises, the Ravens have shown they’re more than just a QB/coach. |
