He's not worth what he's asking, simple as that.
Is he a dynamic QB that can help a team win games? Sure.
Is he good enough as a passer to carry a team to the SB? No, apparently not without a top-5 running game and defense.
Does he have to rely heavily on his running ability to do so? Absolutely.
Has been injured twice in consecutive seasons that effectively kept him from playing in 40% of his regular season games and the playoffs? Yep.
No GM in their right mind is going to guarantee Lamar 5+ years at $200 million, based on the above. 4 years, maybe. The equivalent of $40 million/yr maybe. I wouldn't, but I'm not a GM like Joe Schoen.
