    Can Lamar become a gunslinger?

    I remember when Brett Favre became known as the last of the gunslingers but I think now with Mahomes and Josh Allen.. the gunslingers might be making a comeback.

    Lamar doesn't get enough credit for his arm strength though. Can/will his game evolve to the point of a gunslinger,? Especially with Hollywood out there?

    So you want him to average 20 interceptions per season like Brett? That's a terrible take

    The idea of a gunslinger QB is in concept. He's a QB who will take on a showdown that he often shouldn't. Hence, why 'Gunslinging' comes at a price.

    It's not a "concept" - it's an excuse for making stupid choices, and somehow having the public love you for it.

    Yes because being a gunslinger means throwing 20 interceptions is exactly what I said. 🙄

    Thing is, you didn't actually didn't say anything at all, really. No explanation of what you think a gunslinger is, how being one is a benefit (or detriment), how or why Lamar should try to or want to become one. Hard to criticism me for misinterpreting what you said when you basically said nothing of any substance.

    I view Lamar as a sniper. Makes his shots count! Snipers don't use 6-shooters or the machine guns of gunslingers, they use precision and economy of shots fired.

    Why would we want him to be a gunslinger?

    The fact that he only threw 6 picks and only 1 over the final 10 games was one of his biggest strengths last year

    Well, you can take my definition. Or MarkS’s more direct definition.

    Favre probably took ten years off of Mike Holmgren’s life.
