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!

But he's a football savant.
I'm sure he'll become Tom Brady as his legs go. I mean - the Ravens very clearly don't think that's the case, but the Washington Post said it so it must be true.
Savant. Not my words, mind you - the brilliant minds at WaPo came up with that one. Off the assurances of "people who engage with football on a professional level" - I mean, that kind of professional engagement of football simply cannot be argued with.
Definitely not getting by on freakish athleticism that sets the Madden sliders on Rookie level for him.
