I want to see Lamar rip off another 47 yard, four broken tackle TD run against Kay's Bengals.

[@tonjabowman7208]

Lamar said.in an interview that the extra weight was hard on his limbs , when juking and running. Just like any person that gains weight, it was hard on his muscles. The strength and conditioning trainer said they are working on lean muscle. Lamar will find out what weight he feels good at . All of Lamar's accomplishments cannot be touched by any quarterback exept for Mahomes. I don't care what Burrow or Josh has done . None of them have a superbowl . But Lamar is the only two time MVP . List is trash .

Well stated Tonja.

I'm the same way! My frame doesn't like the weight and it hard on my knees

[@aravendownsouth7117]

Remember the corner for KC who caught him on the QB run up the middle. He didn't have the speed

[@stecar9122003]

I really don't care where people rank Lamar and the rest of the qb's. Let them prove where they rank on the field during the season.

[@justaloe]

To me having Lamar ranked anywhere lower than 2 is an insult. You may as well put him at 9 or 10

[@Diamondbull]

I feel like we can’t truly call the media lists as crazy if we don’t make our own claims and hot takes about where the QB’s rank without actually attempting to rank them. 1. Mahomes - Self Explanatory 2. Josh Allen - Allen turned the ball over a lot. I’d expect him to be a bit more efficient this upcoming season. He’s consistently in the MVP conversation. 3. Lamar Jackson - Two MVPs, he just finished spearheading the squad to the best team record in the NFL within the best division in football. 4. Aaron Rodgers - With Olu Fashanu at LT and both Zeitler and Moses added to their OL, I think an MVP campaign for Rodgers is a good possibility. He usually performs at his best when people doubt him the most. I’m seeing him consistently ranked outside the top 10 in QB lists. 5. CJ Stroud - His weapons are improved. Defenses will have more tape on him to slow him down, second year is usually a slight regression, but I expect Stroud to be elite. 6. Kyler Murray - Controversial pick but with Marvin Harrison Jr I see a star. Add in Michael Wilson that feels like as a #2 he could break out. He was considered a draft sleeper along with Puka Nacua and I think we could see that with a full offseason. The OL is built to a quality level and they drafted enough RB help for Murray. I think if someone is looking to clean up with a good bet for an unlikely odds MVP candidate to actually win, that could be Murray this season. 7. Deshaun Watson - He’s going to have the full offseason to get back to a high level. Whats more the crazy backlash against him has seemed to dissipate some to a more bearable level. Plus he likely now has all the private massage therapists in the Cleveland area down pat now, I think he returns to the top 10 QB list this season, leading the Browns to the playoffs. 8) Brock Purdy - At some point elite efficiency and great production can’t be discounted. I see with another year of tape, defenses should adjust a bit to Purdy and limit him some. 9. Tua Tagovoloia - See Brock Purdy, only Tua hasn’t been as efficient or productive. Miami will have an elite offense in the summer months, they likely fall off again as it gets cold, but I’m sure Tua will at least be in the MVP conversation very early on. 10. Jalen Hurts - I expect Barkley to go off this season. His receiving skills gives a dangerous outlet for Hurts. AJ Brown and Devonta Smith as a 1-2 punch is pretty elite. I like their collection of guys that can contribute as a #3 receiver, along with Goedert in the TE role. Plus the OL looks to once again be very good. With a healthy Hurts, he should find himself high up on the list. 11. Trevor Lawrence - I like his WR group, still don’t trust the OL, but with Brian Thomas Jr stretching the field, I can see Lawrence make a leap into being more consistent and put himself within that top 8-14 range. 12. Russell Wilson - I think with the OL and weapons he has, I can see Wilson bouncing back into the top echelon of performers. He wasn’t a fit for Payton, but I think Tomlin will allow Russ to cook and he’ll be the best QB play they’ve had since Big Ben was in his prime. I think they end up playoff bound as well once again. 13. Joe Burrow - the boy wonder has some durability question marks, he’s adding the bulk to protect himself. Though the bulk could slow him down and make him even less slippery, perhaps leading to another injury. Many are on the Bengals bandwagon and while I can see them doing well, I have them finishing once again in the bottom of the division. 14. Justin Herbert - I like Herbert’s talent but I’m not taking Greg Roman with a QB and trusting them to have a competent passing attack. 15. Dak Prescott - He’s shown he can produce at a very high level, however I think seeing the AFCN defenses should hurt his numbers some and force him to drop back down to where he was the year before.

[@ketolorabaltimore1843]

They really want a track football team for February. I know they have a plan and I can’t wait to see it. If our QB likes his weight, then I love it. I trust that everyone that ate that humble pie will learn from the last game and run it down their throat even worse this year. Who cares where they rank our QB. We already know they have a Type bias and he ain’t that. If he is skinny like Tom Brady or thick like Pat Mahomes, he got his MVP at both sizes cuz he is Thee… 2x MVP @Lj_era8, lightning Lamar.

[@robogarden5723]

I tweeted to Lamar just after the post-season about getting in shape enough to match a prime Jerry Rice in fitness. For those who don't know, Jerry Rice used to run up this 2+ mile hill as part of his conditioning program. Jerry's gone on record to say that hill and his general stamina/fitness was a key ingredient to his success. I think Lamar wants to be great in the 4th quarter and he's following the Jerry Rice model. It's not about just being the fastest but being fast late in the game when everyone else is tired.

[@adrianbooze2107]

That list is ridiculous, LJ8 should be higher on that list

[@chrissherritt2470]

It makes me wonder how he will be able to take hits with that lighter frame. If you are tackled by a 290lbs. defender, can you take the hit as well at 205 instead of 225lbs. There is a reason that wrestlers, boxers, and MMA have weight classes.

[@marioreed3353]

Let’s get it L Boogie and the Ravens

[@tdogx9545]

I think he has Purdy at 2 because he went to the Superbowl and team has little turnover. I guess he has Allen at 3 because the 50+ TDs, but he didn't include the loss of Diggs. I guess Burrow is 4 because he "beat Mahomes H2H". CJ 5 because the belief he will continue to improve. All of these are arguments for these guys rankings, but let's be real none should be ranked over LJ8

[@neightkey6539]

This is just a joke to get a conversation going 😂

[@clyderobinson3629]

People are worrying about the wrong thing when Lamar Jackson and the Ravens had a 14-2 record and if you have a regular season record of 17- 0 and they don't go to the Superbowl and if they do go to the Superbowl and lose what have Lamar Jackson accomplished he had speed when they had a 14-2 record win the Superbowl as a team then you have accomplished something other than that you as sportcaster and podcasters talk about the same thing every year if the team you cheering for if they don't ever win the Superbowl you haven't accomplished the real goal.

[@smithbg61]

Who listen to Chris Simms

[@johnnyonthespot1704]

It amazes me how Lamar & Jalen Hurts are ranked below QBs who did more to hurt their team than to help thier respective teams. And LJ and Hurts did as much for their teams as Mahomes. Period! It's insane. Burrow and Josh Allen caused their teams wins smh

The only QB i might take over Lamar is Patrick

[@RippinBmore]

The back and fourth is so awkward. Sarah could you be more vanilla 😂. Realllllyyyy? You don’t think that list of QB rankings was for engagement and you would never say that because you don’t know the authors intentions 😂. You don’t think the Sim’s comments on Lamar’s weight deserves any of your time 😂? Can you stop being so politically correct and actually give a take. You work in entertainment, be entertaining. And Bobby, dude, my guy, please loosen up a bit. I need some more energy out of you, you’re too rigid. Your delivery is like a local news sports segment, but in perpetuity. You’re bringing is some good topics on the show just switch up your cadence a bit. (Love the show btw)

[@aravendownsouth7117]

Chris actually sucked really as a QB! But he has knowledge for sure and can express it well!

The 2 referee crews that call the games during the regular season and playoffs for the largest big market teams have been noticed!!! As a fan, the integrity and fairness must be fair, or the nation of fans will leave the league, and the sport! Also, stop showing celebrities during the game , just boring!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
