Winning one MVP far exceeds "doing nothing." Winning two means "doing nothing" can't be uttered in the same breath.
I mean you made the clickbait title, not me.
If a guy winning two MVP's is still reconcilable with "doing nothing" then I guess you set yourself up with a 99% chance to be "correct." Imagine calling your shot and then giving yourself the widest possible margin for error imaginable.
You're the kind of guy who goes bumper bowling and then claims greatness lmao.
Total horseshit.Comment -

I'll give a few comments. First off, I sure wouldn't say that Lamar has done NOTHING. Some facts:
1) He was the 32nd pick in the draft, last pick of the 1st round.
...This is important. Line him up to the QBs who have been drafted higher. Lamar has done a lot better than most of those guys.
2) Two-time MVP.
...Pretty good.
3) Lifetime earnings = quite high.
...Teams aren't obligated to pay him. Market deemed that he's worthy of that money.
4) As for team success? Ravens have won a lot of games. They've been close.
...He plays in the same conference as Mahomes, so that's the Super Bowl-blocker.
...Hasn't played his best in the playoffs. A little unlucky, IMHO.
5) In summary, my view is that he EXCEEDED my personal expectations from the time he was drafted.
...I saw that b/c of the Heisman and his ability to run in college.
...That doesn't always translate to NFL. And Harbaugh would have gotten rid of him if he had a better option.Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?Comment -
Oh bullshit. Lakerboy wouldn't have made this thread unless he genuinely thought Lamar Jackson was going to faceplant. Words have meanings. I know it's Laker's forte to intentionally be ambiguous about his predictions so he that has maximum wiggle room, but I'm not letting him off the hook as easily as you and his other bootlickers.
Do you need a list of guys that have "done nothing" in the NFL despite their lofty draft capital? Psh, where does one even begin? Tim Couch, Brady Quinn, Brandon Weeden... and that's just the Brownies alone. EJ Manuel, Marcus Mariota, hell you could even argue Tua... the list is endless.
You know the easiest way to avoid a "do nothing" list? Win an MVP award, much less two. It's completely absurd to say otherwise.
Even if you were mediocre every other year, there was at least the year where you were widely considered to be the MOST VALUABLE PLAYER in the league, also known as the BEST PLAYER in the league. You cannot be the best at something and have accomplished nothing at that same something. Wake up.
Notice Laker never bumped this thread when Lamar was sizzling. I mean if Lamar has done nothing then this thread would have been bumpable at any point in time, but Laker conveniently picks his spots, thus, Lamar must have been doing something.
All of a sudden it's about Super Bowl appearances... yeah, bullshit. That's gotta be the biggest shifting of the goal posts in SBR history.
I mean if the target zone for "done nothing" encompasses anything from Bryce Young to Lamar Jackson, well then, as I alluded to earlier, your margin for error is so wide that calling your shot amounts to jack squat. A fukking chimpanzee could make similar predictions.
Just read his follow up posts starting on page one and you'll see that Lakerboy wasn't predicting "being great but missing the Super Bowl." He was predicting Lamar to fall off a cliff and be bagging groceries before the checks cashed.Comment -
Guy is shredding the bills defense like a knife through butterComment -
that's what happens when you open the game by watching your RB go 80 yards and you setup the run game first and then pass off of it and only pass 18 times
Colts set the run game first today and look what happened. Richardson wasn't turning the ball over but then found out he is made of glass and a QB version of Bob SandersComment -
Great thread. Heating up.Comment -
Jackson is 12-0 as a starter in games played in Week 15 or later. He is also 12-3 since 2023 against teams that enter with a winning record, best in the league.Comment -

Oh boy, laker is coming for fools now.Comment -
When you started this thread, you sincerely believed Lamar was going to be a bust. Think Marcus Mariota or any number of guys that have "done nothing" in the NFL. Once Lamar started doing things that far exceeded "nothing" then you started narrowing your definition until it didn't even resemble your original thesis... Now after a massive reinterpretation, you've decided that "doing nothing" just means not making/winning a Super Bowl.
It's ridiculous to try to claim credit for this thread. That obviously won't stop you from trying though lol.Comment -
Shoulda named thread Lamar will do nothing in the playoffs
Although tonight was hardly his faultComment -
As an NFL and sports fan I always thought doing big things was winning the biggest games in the sport you play in. Leemar has not done that. He can be a great regular season player I guess but to me the playoffs are what makes your name in sports. He has done nothing in that part.Comment
