Obviously, both are true, but no idea how anyone looks at Lamar Jackson and thinks he's an improved passer... he's made some incremental improvements with arm angles and made a couple good throws yesterday, but FFS... the entire offense centered around plays breaking down and chaos ensuing.

Emmanuel Acho also let the mask slip a bit.

"I'm not just disappointed in this for Lamar - I'm disappointed in what this means for the narrative of the running QB..."

You think they're talking about Josh Allen? About Steve Young?

Nope - Acho and Wiley are clearly having Jackson as the flag carrier for black QBs because that's how THEY view them - as running QBs. Jackson, Hurts, Justin Fields, Kyler Murray - those are their 'running QBs' and they're using that as a euphemism.

CJ Stroud will never get that kind of love from these guys. Caleb Williams won't. Acho and Wiley are the guys stuck in the stone age alongside Bill Polian. But they're gonna be the first to chew your ass if you point out that Jackson doesn't work from inside the pocket worth a shit.
