Yes Yes Yes lol

I think Petrino did "okay" with Lamar.
I mean...when you watched Louisville w/ Lamar the only thing Petrino changed was to add read-option concepts.
It worked out great because Lamar is such a dynamic runner...BUT IMHO it wasn't close maximizing Lamar's skillset.

For me the ideal offense to maximize Lamar's skillset combine Run-Pass Option + Read Option + Drop back passing concepts merged together and run from the same sets and formations (especially spread).

The best NFL examples are Andy Reid (Nagy)/KC, Doug Pederson/Eagles, O'Brien(Ryan)/Texans...I think Nagy + Mark Helfrich (college spread guru) is gonna be one of the best offense in the NFL when they get better personnel.

He’s great in college but not a leader of men in the pros

Buddy while I know some have a high (unreasonable?) forecast of LJ, and I'm certainly not dusting off a place for him in the HOF, why should we dilute our hopes? If we're disappointed then so be it, OTOH I'd rather look at him as the exciting offensive player we have some optimism for. Personally, I have positive expectations for LJ and will have them until he proves otherwise... Bc

Unfortunately Lamar is the NFLPA’s hope for guaranteed deals to be the norm. This is why players, both current and retired, are in his corner and think the Ravens are making a mistake by not signing him. I’m curious how many of these players would support Lamar for a fully guaranteed deal if they were in EDC’s shoes?

We got 5 years. Too bad it was a flop.

I sure hope not. Once Young started getting hurt it never stopped. He was broken by 25

yup - MVP in his rookie year, set the league on it's ear. questions about work ethic - injury issues. Titans got him for 5 years then he went to Eagles 'dream team'. We all remember how that went.
