I'm not a Ravens fan. I like the organization and coach and casually rooted for them until they played Lamar, but I'm a Pats fan.

I just can't stand when flashy shit gets a guy treated like he's the best in the sport when the fatal flaws are just as big of a negative. How many other guys can you make a highlight reel of sprinting backwards and blindly throwing jump balls? Even when his guys actually do go get them (which has happened more than it should), those are awful decisions. Every bit of his patient, deliberate approach with his legs and protecting himself and the ball is offset by his recklessness when you make him a pocket passer. And that's part of the job description.

flashy shit does sell tickets. He's getting better with the passing but he is as you say a rb trying to prove himself as a QB and walked right into Chiefs' plans. fait accompli.
