Meh. Lamar was always questionable as far as being a pocket passer. Josh can play from the pocket. I don't think he's elite in that regard, but compared to Lamar he's Steve Young.
Josh's problems have been he has a defensive HC with an insecurity problem, and a lack of appropriate weapons. For a few years Diggs was his security blanket, but then Diggs started to meltdown or whatever happened. Last year Josh's OC found ways to win without Diggs, so I'm guessing he's matured enough that he doesn't need a top-10 WR anymore to bail him out every other play, the way Tua or Hurts do.
We'll see how far Josh has come this season when defenses no longer have to commit double-teams on Diggs.
