MVP doesn't matter to me. never was my argument.. It probably wouldn't take a SB win for me to say , maybe I had this wrong.. But postseason success is a must especially if you ass clowns are calling him great even before winning a postseason game old timer ! you can trash Flacco all you want , but the bar is set pretty high with the postseason run he had in securing a championship ...
There is some truth to what you say but at the same time you can flip that coin and also say it’s just as dumb to say the ravens made one of the dumbest moves you’ve ever seen a team make before he even plays a single game .
You can clown the people who are crowning LJ is great and at the same time say that a team made one of the dumbest moves in NfL history before he takes a single snap.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
And Seymour one more time bud .
Are you still interested in that bet that LJ won’t be the ravens starter in 2 years ?
And not to pick on you redeye .
But people make claims all the time of greatness without ever having postseason success .
Take your Bengals winning the super bowl prediction a few years ago as an example . Andy Dalton the starting QB of that team is still tied with me you in postseason victories

we all make predictions that don't come true. Bad example with the Bengals , but I know you're fishing here..most of my Bengal predictions have I have said to you on more then one occasion was over the win total that happened 3 years in a row... as far as SB predictions , I doubt I claimed Dalton was the end all or great by any means. I liked the overall roster back then , was the reason I was high on the Bengals. Had nothing to do with Dalton being great , or the main reason why I thought they could do it.
The main reason why I made that "dumb move "claim is the same reason I keep repeating.. I don't think you can win a SB with that kind of an offense where the QB running the ball is the main ingredient.. If I'm proven wrong , I will admit it.. But that hasn't happened yet , so to keep these threads going and pronouncing me on the wrong end of it , is just not accurate.. I will give Harbaugh credit for actually going all in to try and make this happen.. Doubt we have yet seen this kind of commitment from a franchise to go this route.. still very skeptical
I mean it’s not much of a commitment .
Its not like they selling out the team for Jackson .
All they are basically doing that some other teams with running QBs did not do is they are allowing him to do what he’s good at and not trying to make him be something he is not . what a concept .
I mean if he gets hurt this week it’s not like the personnel on this team is not capable of playing for a non running QB .
They have most of the same players they had when Flacco was the QB.
So I don’t understand this sellout stuff .
I think it’s overused .
we can agree to disagree. to say that the Ravens haven't made major changes to adjust to Lamar running the ball isn't accurate at all. different scheme and more players coming into fitting that scheme. maybe you're getting information that differs from mine... RG111 might come in and run it for a few min til he gets knocked out of the game , but not to many others.. pipe dream to think that they can just change on the fly and insert another player into this offense and they would be good to go..
and like to hear what other franchise has gone this far to make adjustments to their team to make a running QB the center of their offense.. in the modern day that is
who are all these new players they brought in for this scheme ?
Mark Ingram ?
Yea he had a lot of practice in New Orleans playing for that Brees guy for 7 years .
That Brees fellow sure use to run for 100 yards all the time . Lol.
Who are these players they brought in that can only have success with a running QB?
Just what I've heard , would have to look over the full roster to see how many changes have been made.. No Free agents ? No trades ? no draft picks that have stuck there ? LOL The scheme is completely different though right ? or does it look like the same schemes they've been running for years there ?
that is not what I’m saying at all.
of course the offense is not the same .
that is not what I’m saying .
But you are acting as if these other 10 players can only run this offense they are running now and are incapable of playing any other scheme in the event Jackson were to get hurt .
Well I can’t think of too many teams in the NFL who’s team would still be relevant if the starting QB gets hurt so it’s almost a moot point to begin with .
So basically if the ravens starting QBs has a season ending injury they are in the same situation any other team would be in if their starting QB got hurt .
Basically fucked .

You've got a point there.. But it still depends on if the backup you do have , fits the offense.. or can actually run it like the starter did.. Do you think Teddy would have a better chance of stepping in for Brees with not to many different wrinkles ? or would you rather have whatever plan B the Ravens would install if Lamar goes down
