I didn’t say they were awful Scott….I said they ranked 21st, which they did. But I didn’t have to “take anything away” to make my point. That Patriot defense was a bend-but don’t break-defense. It’s all good
Then context could also matter so for evidence I submit this byline on THE ROOKIE Lamar going 0-1 yet put up better stats than rivers and led team in rushing while a K Dixon was the leading receiver.
BALTIMORE – The Los Angeles Chargers Lamar Jackson grounded, and by the time the rookie got the passing game going it was too late for the Baltimore Ravens

Titans running back Derrick Henryaccounted for most of the Tennessee offense, accounting for 205 of their 300 total yards. Meanwhile, Baltimore racked up 530 yards, but their three turnovers and four failed fourth-down conversion attempts proved too much to overcome.

Yeah I’m basing it on what the guy has done his entire time in the NFL. Is Jax a better passing QB than Goff? If so is he THAT much better to basically give up tons of draft capital and tons of your cap to get incrementally better if you are stifling what makes the guy great? Not me. I’m using the capital and money to get better around Goff, then drafting the guy that is your replacement a year or so from now. Back to back 12 game seasons over the past two for Lamar scares the crap out of me. I don’t think Ben is going to change Lamar enough to keep him safe. When he sees that crack, he’s going to take off. He’ll make dynamic plays, but he won’t be there for your playoff run.
