The thing that blows my mind the most is that he was dominant in college. Dominant. Should have won the Heisman in back to back years. The year he won it he had a worse season.
I just really honestly dead forreal never understand the entire “Lamar can’t play at this level” “he can’t throw.”
The reason I know this is about race is because of my confusion. There is no other explanation. Because if you don’t live under a rock you would have known Lamar Jackson is a winner and can play this game. So the complete disrespect he was shown and still shown was baffling to me. I was perplexed at why everyone is saying this when he just completely dominated at the college level. Usually it’s said about guys who blew up after 1 year. Only played their senior year. Had one good year and go early. Lamar was dominant without a dominant powerhouse school. So I never understood it.
Which really brings me to one conclusion. What are the two positions for as long as football has been around, that racists think blacks can’t play? Center and QB. So then it started to make sense to me what this all was about.
