arthur75 415 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 All this talk this morning about paying Lamar his money and that he deserves this or that. I am curious if anybody here would pay him what he wants or let him walk. I think he wants close to Watson money. As for me I would let him walk. His style will never win a super bowl and to me he is one hit away from being an afterthought. Besides he is not a very accurate thrower of the football anyway. So for me I say pass. What say you?

I wouldn't pay him but i think the ravens may not have much of a choice, they built their team around his style of play so they do not have much of an alternative BroncoStud 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By not paying him you have the money to do exactly that. Keep that defense but rebuild the offense. Trade for Hopkins get you a QB like Carr or Garropalo(sp). That team would be scary I think. But with Lamar you are barely a playoff team and thats only if your division sucks like they usuallly do. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xen 1,010,218 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 I don't think you are likely to win a superbowl with a run first QB so I'd start over. arthur75 and bamaroyal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoStud 3,253 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Lamar has all the leverage after the Ravens lost to the Bungles. He'll get paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CranjisMcbasketball 780 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 You can’t pay him, his only value is being an insane athlete on a rookie deal. The older he gets the less athletic he becomes, and will have to rely on throwing the ball more. Thats not a good thing to invest in arthur75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes4six! 968 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I wouldn’t. For all the reasons mentioned. I would get a stop gap QB and look for your franchise QB in the draft. Meanwhile fill out the offense with weapons. arthur75 and oldtimer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reesebobby 5,661 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Just spit ballin here, so all of you can just keep your panties on. I wouldn't pay him to be quarterback, and he wouldn't do what I'm proposing. But... He would be an intriguing "tight end"/"wide out" assuming he can catch the ball. He's 6' 2". 230# and obviously a tremendous athlete. I would think Andy could scheme up some things for him. arthur75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azchief21 5,278 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I think they're done with him. Chiefs, Bills, Bengals wouldn't let their QB get away. Ravens are very hesitant. They would have locked him if if they thought he could have a chance @ SB. KC Warpaint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okiechief1 425 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Ravens fired their OC Greg Roman today.

WichitaZRide 321 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 Personally I wouldn't. Best ability is availability, and he just doesn't have it. I wouldn't let Lamar Walk, but i'd certainly tag and trade... 49ers would be unbeatable with him I think if the Ravens think they are in come kind of window that a trade with Green bay for Rodgers would be beneficial to both. They don't care about WRs and Lamar doesn't either,lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be able to flip one of them for picks if they wanted to, but the best news outta that it won't be KC trading for a sf QB. oldtimer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith13 1,746 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 I would look to trade Lamar. He's not a QB that will win in the offseason and the cost doesn't justify him as somewhat of a stop-gap. Trade him to a loser that's desperate for regular season wins and build around a more classical QB. A trade would likely bring a 1st which could be packaged to move up.

Isn't he a FA now unless they tag him? Thats a $32M price tag! Phins will be needing a Qb, that'd be a good place for him but who'd want to afford him for that AND a draft pick?

I think it would be fair to say that the 49ers are winning in spite of their QB, not because of them. I think it would also be fair to say that they are a QB away from a superbowl (as evidenced this season). In the end I imagine they will stick with what they have, but they may regret that in the end... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
