Lamar is better, but he's also overrated.  Teams have keyed on his running ability and he can't win with his arm and he sucks at reading defenses.

I'm not saying I have any insider information or anything...  But the smack they talked about Kyler just seems so suspect.  He plays video games in his off time so they put that in the contract?  You don't think that all these 20 year olds are playing video games?

ehh... whatever.  I'm just saying that even with all the video game playing, the dude took a 3 win team to the playoffs in 3 years.  And even after that, they still decided to make him look like a schmuck.  You'd think you'd want to praise a guy like that...

A lot of analysts are former players, or folks that have spent their entire career studying and discussing the best in the game. I think a lot of them are going to have more favorable opinions of the guys who spend their time in the film room, building up (or taking heat in the stead of) the team, and not just relying on natural talent to carry them.

I don't think any critic is concerned with guys playing games in their downtime. You gotta have some recreation to avoid burnout. But if you aren't putting in work when the expectation is that you should be putting in work, you're gonna get criticized if you appear unprepared, out of sync, or overwhelmed.
