He could have drafted him but he didn’t
I always dream’d of margot robbie im never getting her
i told you guys Belichick wanted Fields that DRAFT,,,but boss said NO! ask Coach..
Not a single difference maker at all?? Sleeping on Rhamondre Stevenson.
Lamar and Bill might actually win the division. Buffalo gonna take a step back and Miami can't keep Tua healthy. Jets with or without Rodgers are gonna go 7-10 because they're the jets!
If I was Lamar I would want a #1 wr. He has never had one. Be nice to see him vibe with an actual killer.
If they do get LJ, hopefully they get an OC as well.
Has a run first QB ever won the Superbowl?
If Mac Jones was black the network wouldn't even let these guys have this conversation
The wild thing about Lamar to the Pats is that they COULD HAVE DRAFTED him. They had TWO 1st round picks and picked Sony michel right before Baltimore traded up to get Lamar.
I met Michelle Pfeiffer on a movie set that I catered, and let me tell you, I wish I had never met her. Because that kind of beauty you will never get over,
I don’t know why Bill Belichick would want Lamar. Lamar has proven that his game doesn’t Translate late in the season and in the playoffs Belichick is a mediocre head coach and Lamar is an above average quarterback, who’s wanting to get paid way too much we see what happened to the Cowboys when you pay an average guy.
Lol if you exclude cams mvp but not lamars he looks better. what a take nick
Lamar from three years ago is a dream. He's been less and less explosive each year since his MVP season. And if doesn't run he's not a great passer, he's good but absolutely not great. So why do it. This fantasy works if you consider only Lamar's MVP season in a vacuum.
Mac has not been that bad considering everything that happened last season. He was getting better by the end of the season and will be fine next season. Nick's absolute hate of Mac Jones is unreal and hilarious.
The tandem of Steve Grogan and Tony Eason took the Patriots to the Super Bowl against the Bears in '85, where they were completely destroyed 46-10.
All the people Lamar never had weapons. They had to trade off the weapons to run offense that he can do. It successfully won him a mvp and 1 playoff win.
Zappe is a helluva name for a NFL QB.
"It's football" is not an excuse for dirty play.
Bill does want a qb who can run, I believe that. But you have to get them while they are young, by 30 or so they are damaged goods.
Ppl acting like LJ can’t win. He’s won plenty of games with his arm. Let LJ pass 1st, and only run when play breaks down. Have maybe a few RPO’s here and there.
Ppl must have forget that 442 passing yard game with 86% LJ has 2 years ago Vs colts.
Let’s stop acting like he’s not capable of just dissecting teams with his arm
There’ are no limitations with LJ as a passer. He can make every throw there is. I’ve seen him do it. Go watch his 2021-2022 highlights
Lmao I love Nick
every bodys talking Lamar? He hasn't proven he can do it with arm, so he's not going to get a big contract! Prove you can win with your arm then we'll talk!
did wildes forget cam (i get he was post-prime) played for NE
Lamar Jackson is not the type of QB u want to try and change his play style.
That statement not true, if bill wanted him he would of draft him I remembered that year they was considering it but didn’t pull the trigger.
Yeah, if Belichick had Lamar instead of that loser, Brady, he might’ve won a few Super Bowls.
