Probably 3 of those wins were all LJ hero ball. I guess I understand why he sometimes won’t take the easy stuff the D is giving

The wins or the losses? There was some of both…

In fairness to Lamar, with the losses of our RB's and the instability of our line (plus some big WR drops and give-up-ons) it's hard to know what he could do besides play hero ball.

I am waiting for hero ball in the playoffs. Not trying to turn it into a JF thread, but when the lights have been biggest, he has played like trash.

And what if your QB doesn’t want to be the leading rusher on the team? Maybe he wants to help his team by passing the ball more, but in an offense that can actually scheme WRs open. If Lamar chooses to leave next year, this will have been the reason why.

So if he doesn't want to be the leading rusher, just use one workhorse back instead of a committee and he won't be. ;)

I think we're kinda of saying the same thing.
Except that i might hold Lamar to higher standard then just playing 'hero ball'.

Lamar is a great QB. He's been the unanimous league MVP. The expectations in my mind are high, and expecting less imho is thinking less of Lamar.
Great QB, lift their teams up....put their teams on their backs in a way that only great players can be asked.
Any QB can run around and play hero ball....to me that's like Rex Grossman. Lamar is capable of playing winning football.
Great players walk the tight-rope of when to take the game over and when to play within the confines and structure.

just rewatched the 2nd squealers game. hollywood drops a touchdown pass at the end of the first half which leaves Baltimore with a FG. In the last minute of the game Huntley throws Brown a perfect sideline pass to put the ravens in position to kick the winning FG, Brown catches the pass in bounds but doesn't wrap up and Fitzpatrick knocks the ball out of his hands. Brown lost this game and he damn near lost the Lions game with his drops.

good riddance.

Was that first drop one that Huntley rifled at short range, but it still needed to be caught?

Or just hand the ball off to a RB instead of keeping it to run the ball himself. That is what he should do a lot more of this season.

If Roman is so great at scheming the run game, he shouldn't need his QB to run the ball nearly as much to still have a very effective rushing attack.

Maybe he isn't "so great" without a QB with gamebreaking running ability and RBs that help said QB sell misdirection. I wonder how much of #8's ground success in 2019 was due to Ingram's ability to draw tacklers toward him after a fake handoff.

Yes loba, your point is why we need Dobbins and/or Gus back so badly... Bc

His point is invalid because Roman had a top rushing offense in SF and Buffalo as well:

Haters gonna hate.
