You'd think on pure large numbers alone he'd eventually hit a few of those against us.
But man, he missed like 4 or 5 really makeable deep throws against us in that playoff game.

Until he does it, you gotta just play him this way.
I think this is a little outdated. Lamar’s beating defenses with the pass this year. The ravens defense can’t stop anyone and I don’t trust Lamar to consistently win shootouts even with diontae. It just takes one lukewarm pass performance. But that to me is way more the reason than saying Lamar’s been bad. Much as I hate to give the guy his due, he is a much better passer this year
