Bill Simmons wonders if Lamar is Derrick Rose status. Other mobile QBs who just lost it.

I think next year would be best to judge...however, he'll be 30 in January 2027. So he's going to have to be one of those rare athletes that still dyamic after a certain age.

Mobile QBs who have been taking extra hits since pop warner...
After 2010 no one thought Vick would be washed in 2 years. No one would have guessed Cam would have peaked at 26.

Hopefully Lamar is one of one. I hope he adjusts his training in the offseason. He's been injured 3 of the last 5 years. Time to invest millions in his body.

I don't even watch enough Football to add anything. But I'll watch this thread to learn

I'm guessing he mostly has the natural athletic gifts but lacks the fundamental skills to have a game that ages gracefully?

Wouldnt say that. His fundamentals have improved tremendously the last few years. He can really throw the ball.

He just looks off.

Like a guy whose body has been hit too much throughout his life.

Again its too soon to say he's DROSE status. However, DROSE issues wasnt fundamentals imo. Just a guy whose body couldnt hit the floor as often anymore.

Just has to adapt his game cause he still has one of the best arms in the game. But it seems like he can’t just step outside of the pocket and treat rushers like kids now

The older u get the harder them hits get. RBs use to be washed at 30. That burst was never meant to last an entire career. That being said, he still has elite speed. His injuries are probably way more serious than the team let on. Hamstrings linger
And he had a toe and knee injury to go with a bad back now. Dude is beat the fukk up. Them mvp yrs took its toll
