CowboysDiehard Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 He's the golden ticket this year. Just hung a 60 spot on me so far, and not done yet. Congrats to all who drafted him. Enjoy your championships. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayteeohh33 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 13-1 this season and it's all thanks to him. Having Derrick Henry didnt hurt one bit, but man, Lamar solidified my winning season. Such a fun guy to watch. After tonight's performance (fingers crossed) I should win the first playoff round and move on to the championship round. Not bad for a running back?

DMD Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Usually, the magic player is an RB. The last two years, it was a QB. Wonder if Kyler Murray will make a big second-year leap like Mahomes and Jackson? Not as good a runner as Jackson or a passer like Mahomes though.

purplemonster Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Jackson's improvement of his passing game and decision making is one of the biggest surprises of the year. As far as positive surprises, hard to top it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He worked his ass off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gourdeau Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 His throws are effortless, flick of the wrist, very Mahomes-esque. Best part about him is he seems to have a great head on his shoulders and seems very focused on the team and not himself/stats. As a Steeler fan, its gonna be awesome to have him in the division for the next 15 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think many QBs last that long period. It will be interesting to see how he evolves, because we've never seen a running QB with stats like this. But yes, history is not on his side. BUT if he can stay like this for 5-8 years and continue to evolve, which is realistic, his resume will be legendary. That's a big "BUT."

Hmmm...I thought he did a good job of running out bounds last night. But either way this is true, he will have to learn how to protect himself better.

Nonetheless he does do a decent job protecting himself overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not on this level though. Perhaps Vick is the closest thing but he wasn't near as deadly as Lamar. Lamar has been a starter for less than 2 years and already broke Vick's record.

ABearWithFurniture Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Guess you could quantify 'this level'...because RG3, Randall Cunningham, Vick, Newton, Culpepper, all had some really extreme early years in both running/passing stats. Not saying Jackson isn't playing special, but we've definitely seen this before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABearWithFurniture Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 So Culpepper's 2004 season with over 5K total yards, 39 TDs, 11 ints, wasn't THIS type of year...okay, whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm down Cuh. The guy just broke every QB rushing record including Dante's. That's the point. Dante's year was amazing, you can't take that away from him.

No we haven't. None of those mentioned have come close to what Lamar Jackson is doing this season. Maybe 2015 Cam Newton. Over 1,000 yards rushing with 30 passing TDs (maybe 40 by the end of the season) and single digit interceptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
