Thanks Sled. Personally, I don't think DCs are figuring him out. Maybe it's my purple colored glasses but I believe it has less to do with scheme and more to do with no one can catch and tackle Lamar. They've been trying to take away our RPO game since midway through 2018 and nothing has worked. Lamar was off his game vs Tenn and they outplayed us. Turnovers, two 4th and 1 not converted, Derrick Henry etc. We didn't lose because of some masterful game plan imo.
I do agree he will eventually get less athletic with every hit once he gets to a certain age. My question for you and anyone else on the board is... At age (say 28-32) will Lamar be as good a runner as a Russell Wilson or maybe peak Rodgers or old school Flutie? And at that point will he be as good of a total QB as those guys? Or close to it? Or better?
This is why I've always liked this board and decided to join. It's the first message board I've stayed posting on and I'm in my mid 40's. I get so tired of the Flacco's elite, Flacco sucks arguments. You guys are ok in my book. Good luck Bengals except vs my Ravens. You guys deserve it
