re: Lamar Jackson offseason contract

Btw, Lamar Jackson put up 4300 total yards in his MVP year. Deshaun Watson just put up 5200 total yards this year while completing a higher percentage of his passes.

Garbage time yards when your team is out of contention mean so much. Kirk Cousins had more yards and tds this year than Drew Brees. Is he the better QB? Derek Carr had a higher QB rating than Lamar, is he better than him? Fitzmagic had a better Qb rating than Big Ben, is he better than him? Trubisky had a higher QB rating than Matt Ryan, is he better?

Only casual fans look at the stats with no ability to contextualize them. Does anyone really believe that Watson is the third best QB in the league? Do you really believe he’s better than: Allen, Wilson, Dak, Brady, Tannehill?

Watson is the most overrated player in the league by this board. He’s 28-25 as a starter going 1-2 in the playoffs. In the 3 seasons before he was drafted, the Texans went 27-21 going 1-2 in the playoffs with Fitzmagic, Hoyer, and Osweiler at QB. So why do you want to crown his arse? Because he put up Diet Coke numbers when his team was out of contention? Hell Kirk Cousins does that every season but no one is crowning him and he has more than one playoff win to his name.
