Haha...the Lamar case is interesting all around. He's a league MVP, but due to his playing style you have to build a team around him that's not traditional. And I think teams are leery of that. Well leery enough to not fully guarantee a deal.

This is true, but it's also worth noting that was FOUR seasons ago now. That's a long time in the NFL even without a run-heavy playstyle. The same year Lamar won MVP? Ryan Tannehill led the NFL in QB Rating. The 1-2 in receiving yards the year Lamar won MVP were Michael Thomas and Julio Jones. Tom Brady was still on the Patriots. Andy Dalton was our starting QB.

Matt Ryan won MVP 3 year before Lamar did, Cam Newton won MVP 4 years before Lamar did.

It's about time for his MVP to be used as an overwrite for what's happened over the last years, because it's been quite awhile ago now.

Lamar's Average Passing Season Since MVP:
63.7% Completion
2,627 passing yards (7.3 YPA)
19.7 TD/9.7 INT
92.5 QB Rating
