And the whole League passed on him in the Draft, so it wasn't some glaring obvious error by just our guy.

Lamar was an intriguing prospect. Just took a team with the balls to gamble on him and invest in his strengths.

Can't really fault a handful of teams opting to pass on him considering that he IS a run first QB.

I think the RGIII saga scared a lot of teams away. Vick having a few eye opening seasons before defenses started catching up speed wise was all you really had to go by.

Newton was good at it. But he's built like a damn tight end for his position and that even caught up to him.

Now you'll have Tagovailoa and Hurts to evaluate with similar skill sets just nowhere near as elusive or fast. Which means they'll HAVE to showcase arm talent leading up to the draft.

Ultimately. I liked Lamar. With that said. The argument that he would be an MVP here or anywhere else is unlikely. Baltimore had a plan. They wanted him all along. They downplayed it by not making it too obvious.

That was a good draft for them. Landing the QB they could work with while adding Hurst and Andrews at the TE position to give him a pair of safety blankets. Was high on Andrews too.

Kind of funny a lot of us on here have been clamoring for these types of QBs, TE's and RB's with multi skillsets that kind of fit today's modern approach to the NFL.

Yet we sign the pocket passer, draft the iron horse RB that's being force fed now in the passing game and still no serious investments made at TE since Julius Thomas.

Bummer.
