Re: Week 2 discussion thread
This is what makes Harbaugh such a great head coach. He's letting his pure emotions out about this injury and while his player are telling him, hey its football it would've happened regardless, instead of being the authoritarian and saying "No, I'm right, you're wrong" he's listening and understanding. That's leadership. Not having all of the answers, but listening to the men you're leading sometimes. Them knowing how upset that made him makes them want to fight harder. Harbaugh gets it.

I don't see it that way. If you feel great about your QB, why would you even need to ask him in the first place?King Bootz wrote: ↑Sun Sep 19, 2021 11:31 pm If there was any doubt as to how the Ravens feel about Lamar Jackson, Harbaugh asked him if he wanted to go for it. You don't do that with a guy who you don't see as your QB.

Because you're still the head coach and you still have to make decisions. Harbaugh still has a job to do.

Re: Week 2 discussion thread
That doesn't mean everyone has heard about it though, twitter isn't as popular as it's regular users think.
Re: Week 2 discussion thread
Twitter is how Sports Journalists make a living in 2021. Has been for the last 10 years or so. The Athletic is a good example of that.
Twitter is definitely the best place for News on the web. Reddit is a close second but it's predominantly left-leaning.

OR, maybe Greg Roman knows Jackson's limitations and does everything he can to put him in the best situation. Then, when the playoffs come, the opponent knows Jackson's limitations too, and exploits them.Skyrimownsall wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 3:34 pm greg romans offense is limited and doesnt use lamar jackson to the best of his ability, when he gets out schemed in the playoffs as usual, watch at how the media destroys lamar

Re: Week 2 discussion thread
All Head Coaches are. You must not know how this league works. You think they pay these guys millions just to sit there? It's about having accountability. Harbaugh would be a bad head coach if he didn't ask his players for insight. His players would have no reason to follow or respect him if he didn't ask. They can just do whatever they want.CannonFire wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 3:58 pmWhich is why he doesn't need to ask his QB about going for it. He just does it.

The only thing Lamar Jackson has been "limited" is the amount of games he's lost as a pro.

Re: Week 2 discussion thread
No, a coach TELLS his QB what that they're going for it, he doesn't ASK him if he wants to go for it. Now, he may ask him what play he wants to run, certainly... but he's not going to ask him if he wants to go for it.Primeminister wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 4:03 pmOr Harbaugh asks his QB because his QB is the leader on the field.

Re: Week 2 discussion thread
GTFOH with that crap. If Harbaugh wants to go for it on 4th down, he's going for it. He's not asking his QB if he should or shouldn't. Could he ask for his input on which play? Certainly, but not whether they're going for it or not. To think otherwise is just incompetence.King Bootz wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 4:06 pmAll Head Coaches are.

Re: Week 2 discussion thread
How is it incompetence when we saw it play out that way last night? Unless you're calling Lamar Jackson a liar, Jim Harbaugh did in fact ask him if he wanted to go for it on 4th down.CannonFire wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 4:15 pmGTFOH with that crap.

Re: Week 2 discussion thread
If Lamar said "Coach Harbaugh asked me if I wanted to go for it" with the intent behind the question being that had Lamar said no, they would have punted... then yes, Lamar is lying. Harbaugh is a great coach, he's not asking Jackson for permission to go for it. Now, if Lamar said, "Coach Harbaugh asked me if I wanted to carry the ball", then yes, I believe him 100%. As I said, asking the player for his opinion on WHAT play to run, makes all the sense in the world. BUT, asking him if they should go for it? No, that didn't happen. Not the way you implied it in your initial post anyway.King Bootz wrote: ↑Mon Sep 20, 2021 4:19 pmHow is it incompetence when we saw it play out that way last night?

OMG, GTHFO with that. He's not asking Jackson for permission. It's about being pumped up. Do you really think that Jackson says "No" right there? Do you honestly think that any real QB would say, "No, let's punt"?

this is a perfect example of why your posts and your perspective suck so badly. you do not possess the ability to read for comprehension without inserting your own bias. the term for this is eisegesis and it’s debilitating. if i had to point to one thing that causes many on this board to dislike you so much, it’s this.
case in point: one guy has claimed racism ad nauseam; on this we agree. however, the “other side” never stated that “racism isn't in the NFL.” it was your bias that inserted this notion, but it doesn’t exist in this thread. if you disagree, please post a link to where this was stated by anyone.

They've had the ball a lot. It's on the background. He's like 11 for 13 and has been sacked twice.
