If the same scenario happened with a prime Pat Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, or Joe Burrow, you better believe teams would be tripping over themselves to throw 2 first rounders at them.

Lamar is now an oft-injured and unreliable passer.  It is what it is.  He is not some world beater.

Who said he was an all-world talent? And of course teams would be tripping over themselves for Mahomes, he's an alien. Burrow is a top 5 QB and you could easily make a case that he's top 2 right now. Those are stupid comparisons, nobody said Lamar is them. He is certainly far better than some of these other bums who have recently gotten a [BLEEP] load of $$ though.

Point is, he wins games and that's what matters in the NFL. Him not having an agent is definitely hurting him, but the Ravens are doing him dirty.

So if you were the Gints, say, better to give up two top picks and a boatload of guarantees for someone who has never finished a season with 100% of the team's starts, whose performance has trended downward, and you have no idea if he'll pick up your system, or roll with the guy who got you to the playoffs, started four more games, threw for 1000 yards more, and rushed for nearly the same amount, even though the other guy is seen as a "weapon" with his legs?

Save the picks, you have the opportunity to fix your mistake if you blow it.

Who else needed a QB that had ammo? Miami screwed themselves, AZ is destined to the cellar, SF could win with a tackling dummy at QB. Lamar isn't the trophy he once was, and Ballimer could be said to have done him dirty by tagging him as they did. I doubt they find anyone willing to pony up, and they'll be left with the decision to either pay someone they're not all in on or look poorly to future FA who don't want to end up in similar purgatory if they keep their heels dug in.

Nobody wins here. Nobody.

Laremy Tunsil represents himself and hes gotten himself two big contracts now. The most recent has made him the highest paid OT in the NFL. The first one might have made him the highest paid at the time as well. Does that make him a fool?

He already had his fool moment, maybe he got it out of his system
