BayRaider Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 2 minutes ago, Forge said: Or he's just hurt Players play through sprains and swelling all the time in the playoffs, this is do or die time. I have no doubt his knee is still swollen but if he really wanted to, he can play through it. His re-injury risk is high and he doesn’t want to risk that before his big contract. Like I said, if he already had that contract, I have no doubts he plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xmad Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Trying to play through an injury where you're at major risk of doing more damage to your knee is ****ed. If he's able to play at 75% he's probably playing but if he's not able to be even somewhat mobile the offense is kinda borked given we 1 legitimate pass catching weapon.

The organization is not going to reward you for being tough and gutting it out if you blow out your knee in a playoff game, they're going to lowball you or tell you sorry, we're moving on. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelonebillsfan Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Lamar is injured, knees are fragile, he relies on his more than most QB's, he wants to get paid, the team is crap without him, none of this exists in a vacuum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes the situation so much more complicated and interesting. 4 weeks into this season, you think 'no way will Lamar not be a Raven next year'. Now, I don't know!

seminoles1 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I love that Sammy Watkins is essentially calling him out for not playing injured, a man who just joined the team and hasn't missed an IR invitation in his life. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most dudes on the team who've been there the majority of the season get it, but pretty hilarious to see a quote like this slip out of the locker room.

Am I the only person in the world who read this not as Sammy calling him out, but just him wishing Lamar could play? He even just says he's being very selfish cuz he wants him out there but doesn't know. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
