Lamar Gets Paid
All you mongrels clamoring for a Lamar comic in the comments of the last comic: here you go. You happy now?
Honestly, I had trouble coming up with anything because the Lamar situation more or less ended with a conventional plop. He got paid. It was a very big contract. It should have been a very big contract. All the drama and the possibility of him going elsewhere didn’t lead to much. He didn’t get screwed, he didn’t screw the Ravens, he didn’t switch teams, he got it done before the draft, and he got a hefty price tag on par with QBs of his skill level. A lot of hullabaloo for nothing.
So Lamar stays a Raven. He has two new weapons with Zay Flowers and whatever OBJ is still capable of doing. He has a new offensive coordinator Todd Monken from Georgia. Monken brings an undeniably more exciting brand of football to the team than Greg “How many boring ways can we run the ball” Roman. Lamar more or less ended this entire transition as the winner. He’s got his bag. His future in Baltimore is secure. He got weapons. He got new coaching. Now all he has to do is deliver and make it work. That’s the hard part that might not work out even through no fault of his own.
Everyone gave the man a lot of shit for not having an agent, me included, but I guess when you play a premium position at a very high level you can still pretty much get what you want. If he doesn’t know what to spend all that money on, he should give Joe Flacco a call.
EDIT: No comic Monday or Wednesday, on a mini road trip and wont have the time
LOL This guy is going to complain people asking for a Lamar contract comic, even though QB contracts is one of THE premier topics you hype up yourself?
You seem bad at identifying when I’m being tongue in cheek
…you seem like the kinda guy who drinks beer with a straw
I really like this one. Good show!

This mongrel is happy, haha
Lamar’s contract situation ended pretty much how I expected it to. It was obvious that he was never going to get that nonsensical deal that Deshaun Watson got, but you knew that he was going to get his bag eventually. Turns out that he was just waiting for another QB to strike gold (in this case, Jalen Hurts) and then based his deal off of that. He gets his bag and the Ravens secure their future. Guess everyone won in the end (at least this offseason).
Ironicly the Hurts contract was reportedly based off the initial Ravens offer to Lamar. So if Lamar had just negotiated from there to the slightly higher deal he ended up with a lot of drama would have been avoided

Does anyone else click the random button and every time it goes to the Jason Garrett Clapping comic?
Nope, just got one of Dave punting a baby.
This happened to me as well. RN the random always goes to this comic: https://www.thedrawplay.com/comic/joe-thomas-calls-it-quits/
However, it changes. I left a comment about this and Dave said that he is aware of the problem and has heard reports from various sources but has been unable to find the root cause or even replicate the problem. From what I can figure out, the problem is more general than just this site. I have had the same problem with another comic site, Bug Martini. Maybe someone here is more techy than me and can give you some advice.
Cmon. Fort Moneys 2023. Its gotta happen ….
Lamar’s agent has a bit of a Jeanine Stifler vibe going on….
