    I'm no Lamar Jackson fan because he's a Ratbird, but did you see his play and production at the collegiate level? The guy won the Heisman for a reason, he passed and ran the ball.

    Stop trying to act as if these guys want to run the ball first because of your bias. They run out of necessity but are very good at avoiding defenders and pose a real challenge for defenses.

    Exactly. Talent not there? Colbert. O struggling? Canada. D struggling? Butler. ST? Smith.

    Bad execution? Players' fault.

    So what does Tomlin do?

    "He just wins."

    I am not a Stephen A fan....but he certainly isn't the only one saying this. Do we put any stock in what Ryan Clark says because it was pretty much the same thing? No, they probably aren't in the team meeting upset that the media is saying they suck - but they do and changes need to be made. We ALL know that.

    I think he takes credit and owns the losses. Some just ignore it when he does.

    College...College???
    I watched his College. Bias. The Man has run for more yards every year he has been in the NFL than any Qb ever , but Your bias wants You 2 believe He's running out of necessity. Tell that 2 the younger guys. No Qb runs as much as Him out of necessity....it's called....I don't know what else 2 do , and I've always done it ...so off I go. So Yes for him You are correct it's a necessity. LoL. For a real Qb that can run not so much. They mostly look 2 pass.
    Also I could give You so many Heisman trophy winners that amounted 2 Nothing in the NFL they would bury You alive. Hell there has even been Heisman trophy winners that haven't even been drafted...so Yes I could care less about Heisman trophies. Try again. Remember You came at Me because of Your Bias . Yes Your Bias the only time I ever hear from You is 2 defend Cam, Lamar, or Michael Vick....So who truly has an agenda????

    The Ratbirds have always been a run first offense and have been pretty good at it. You act as if the guy cannot pass the ball but the he actually can. Players are drafted by pro teams based on what they do at the collegiate level, that's not rocket science.

    We will have 2 agree 2 disagree. About certain styles of Qbs. It's in the Job description....Qb...not Rb.

    No, it's not. If it was, the position would be called "Passer".

    You're missing the point. QBs are responsible for more than just passing.
