How are they totally different from one another?
“The simplest way I can say it’s, in my expertise with Lamar, generally we get in video games, and as an alternative of studying 1-2-3, he would learn 3-2-1. Now, when you discuss to any quarterback, they might let you know, if there’s 5 reads on this play, 5 eligibles, you by no means go 1 by means of 5. Sometimes you may go 1-3-5. Sometimes you may go 2-4-5 based mostly off the protection. But it is by no means usually 5-1. That does not occur. You do not go 5-3-1. That’s simply not how the development goes. But Lamar’s obtained such a stupendous thoughts, and I’m not telling any secrets and techniques right here. Sometimes he goes 3-2-1, and it really works. And I do not know the way it works, nevertheless it’s a particular trait that he has. Just like that cross to Isaiah Likely. Who’s making that throw? Who’s making that throw in a sport the place Isaiah Likely was compared to the place the protection was, and who Lamar had barreling down on him? Not many individuals are making that throw on the whole. And if it is intercepted, we’re all saying, why did he make that throw? But it wasn’t. And Lamar tends to make these performs greater than he will get bit for these varieties of performs. I’d see him make throws in video games that he’d by no means make in apply. And possibly it is as a result of Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, he is nonetheless processing all of it. But when he will get to Sunday, I’ve by no means seen a quarterback flip the swap in the best way that Lamar would flip the swap.
“So once I have a look at Jayden, Jayden is extra of your conventional pocket passer in the case of going by means of his reads. So when you have a look at his numbers proper now, he does not have 15 landing passes. He’s obtained 4. His completion proportion is extraordinarily excessive. And once you have a look at anyone sport, the one sport that you may actually level to and be like, holy cow, have a look at how Jayden Daniels simply destroyed that protection, it could be the Bengals sport. That sport was like a popping out occasion. But the opposite video games, he is simply been extraordinarily environment friendly. He’s not attempting to do an excessive amount of. And I’m not saying that Lamar did. So I do not wish to make that comparability. But the factor with younger QBs coming in is you wish to put the staff in your again. You wish to put the staff in your again like Marshawn Lynch and simply carry them to victory. And all Jayden is doing is, ‘Hey, No. 1 is open, throw it to him. Hey, one’s coated, two’s open, throw it to him. And then when he runs, he is solely working after he is exhausted his total development.’ So it is slightly totally different than the way it was with Lamar early on. We modified the offense in 2018 as soon as Joe went down and Lamar took over. But it was like [the] Lamar Jackson present. He was carrying us to victories. The protection was taking part in properly. The offense line was taking part in. It was like Lamar was carrying us to victories. It was actually some of the unbelievable issues I’ve ever seen.
“Jayden’s probably not having to hold the Commanders to victories. He’s simply being environment friendly. I believe final week they scored like 40 factors. He had a excessive completion proportion. He did not go for 400 yards. He did not throw for 4 touchdowns. He simply performed the place. And I believe that sort of makes them harmful, if you already know what I’m saying. What if he does begin throwing for 4 touchdowns? That, to me, is the thrilling half as a result of this sport is the Ravens versus the Commanders. It’s not Jayden Daniels versus Lamar Jackson. Lamar might go on the market and throw for 350, run for 150, and the Ravens might lose. And I do know Ravens followers do not wish to hear that. But me and you’ve got each watched a few of these video games that Lamar has been in, and that is been the case. So that, to me, is the attention-grabbing dynamic right here. Are these guys actually going to duel it out and compete stats-wise? Or is it going to be extra of like who has the perfect staff? I believe it is going to be extra who has the perfect staff.”
