So instead of being tied or possibly up by 3, Detroit needs an onside kick and a FG to tie it. Plain stupid of the coach not attempting the 2 FGs earlier n the game.

But they have. Every time.

I’m not disagreeing with what they did. I’m disagreeing with it being their choice. NFL defenses find ways to neutralize them in big moments. Jackson had chances to run. A lot of times they collapsed around him and got with then blitz. But again, the traditional pocket passer who can make every throw isn’t going to go for just 272 and 1 TD when facing man coverage virtually all game because he’ll eventually torch the defense and they’ll stop. The Chiefs obviously weren’t concerned with him doing that, and they were right.

He's notoriously aggressive. Funny meme making its way through FB. Wish I copied.

The choice is always there for Lamar to run. He's the most lethal runner the NFL has ever seen. Nobody has stopped him yet, except himself.
The issue for QBs like Lamar is psychological. The ego takes control and they can't help themselves. Because every human since birth has been programmed by the same loser axioms that says there's only one way to play quarterback in the NFL. Outcasts, like Lamar, have to prove to the world they're an elite passer too. If they don't they will never truly feel successful.
The cycle will continue until the day Lamar eschews that loser mentality and embraces who he really is. Only then do the Ravens become a legit Super Bowl contender.

QB's who can't pass in the modern era don't win Super Bowls, unless they have historic defenses behind them (85 Bears, 00 Ravens, 02 Bucs). This fantasy that Jackson could just take off running every play and be a dominant champion is laughable. Defenses would simply adjust if he's not a threat to complete a pass.
Jackson has had an advantage over other playoff-loser QB's (like Romo and Dak) as he's ALWAYS had a top defense behind him, meaning he doesn't even have to score that many points to win and still comes up short.
What Baltimore SHOULD do is at least try and finally get an elite RB behind him to shoulder the load. Since Ray Rice, they have had a group of total stiffs carrying the ball.

I like to think of it in simpler terms. He holds onto the ball too long, his intentionally sidearm deliveries are woefully inaccurate and his impression of the successful modern-day QB is off. The successful guys throw in the rhythm. Lamar's rhythm is more like Earth, Wind & Fire.

With the rules forcing defenses to play with their hands tied behind their back, it doesn't take a good QB anymore to win a Super Bowl. Even Stafford proved that as long as you're ugly enough even a woman can win a Super Bowl in today's NFL.
