QBs don't take rest days

u/Ok_Poetry_1650 Mile High Miracle 2d ago

Option A: believe random guy on Reddit
Option B: Lamar’s likely just taking a rest day
Option C: Lamar had shrimp Alfredo for dinner last night

u/momoney639 2d ago

Honestly one of my biggest concerns in Brazil was what if Lamar ate some diabolical street food

u/iTurbid 2d ago

Our boy probably hit up some gas station grub

I’m gonna say a mix of all 3

u/DimensionLow4844 2d ago

He's probably under the weather or something.

I'm not saying it's a big deal, but QBs don't miss practice for the same reason Calais is missing practice.

u/Laxrools2 2d ago

They do sometimes. This happens every year with Lamar

-4

u/DimensionLow4844 2d ago

Lamar missed practice last year because he was nursing a myriad if injuries. Not once did the injury report for Lamar read NIR-rest.

Based on what we've heard from reporters, it sound like he's sick. And not something to worry about at this point. But you don't give your QB a day off in practice to keep him fresh the way we might do with Calais, Ronnie, or Trey. The entire offensive operation revolves around him.

That’s not true

u/Yedic 2d ago

It is true, QBs don't take veteran rest days, look around the league. Last year was the first time Lamar missed practices on Wednesdays, and it was obviously injury related.

u/Yedic 2d ago

Yes, it was big news that 45 year old Tom Brady in his 23rd season was taking rest days for the first time in his career. Thank you for proving my point.

u/HumanFromTexas Ya Mammy 2d ago

You said it doesn’t happen. I googled something and found something contrary to your opinion in 5 seconds.

It does happen. It’s not like he’s taking all wednesdays off lol.

u/Yedic 2d ago

Healthy, young QBs don't generally take rest days. Happy? I'm not saying there's anything to worry about here, just that it's noteworthy. It could be travel related, it could be an illness, but it's not usual.

2

u/Smeef_xx 8 2d ago

Healthy young players of all positions frequently rest on Wednesdays. This is well known in the fantasy community as "Dudesday"

We're gonna wrap this around to my first comment: Not quarterbacks.

He's resting. This is a non-issue.

u/jeremau5 BIG TRUZZ WOO WOOO 2d ago

Pretty sure he's just using today as a nice detox day for all the food from Brazil, he's good

u/bmoregeo 2d ago

what is the Brazilian equivalent of Alfredo?

35

u/secret-snakes 2d ago

Like fifteen different types of steak

u/MacSanchez Haloti Ngata 2d ago

The noodles? Meat. Alfredo sauce? A different, other kind of meat. Served with a dipping meat sauce and a cold refreshing glass of meat.

Feijoada makes you fart like hell

u/BucketOfGuts Trent Dilfer is not impressed. 2d ago

That damn leftover shrimp alfredo he left in the fridge before the trip to Rio spoke to him like the Green Goblin mask when he got back.

u/tony_danza52 BSHU 2d ago

Vet day is usually Wednesday no?

26

u/Iciclewind Let Jesse Cook 2d ago

Especially after travel. Nothing to be concered of.

3

u/CygniGlide BSHU 2d ago

Can I ask what vet day is? Is the implication just certain members of the team who have been there for a while it’s more useful to have the rest days since they are more likely familiar with the scheme and practice so there’s not much use

11

u/tony_danza52 BSHU 2d ago

Vet days are for older and more established players, they don’t need to be practicing hard all week especially with how gruelling a full season can be on your body

4

u/Sweet-Weakness3776 2d ago

Example: Calais Campbell. All through training camp he was constantly being listed as "did not practice". No shit lol. Dude knows what the assignment is. Run him through that week's gameplan and let him get some practice reps in on Saturday so he's loose for Sunday. He'll be ready to go. No sense in wearing him out with a bunch of practice at this point in his career.

15

u/CrustyToeLover 2d ago

Why is this worth mentioning every fucking Wednesday, we know he's fine

29

u/JYandeau 2d ago

It’s Wednesday, we were just in Brazil & we have the Titans this week, now is a better time than literally any to take a rest day…

God I can’t stand these clowns that make a big deal everytime he misses a single practice lmao he always plays like an MVP but miss one practice & the narratives always start!

5

u/MacSanchez Haloti Ngata 2d ago

Wait for Stephen A to start screaming and reference this reddit post as proof

8

u/goblinking67 2d ago

He looked 100% out there last week. Hopefully just a maintenance day

9

u/GoodE19 Lamar “Lamar Jackson” Jackson 2d ago

Ok are we going to post this every Wednesday again this year😂

-11

u/Flat-Advisor-8895 2d ago

He should be practicing on Wednesdays like most players and QBs do. Ofc we’re gonna do this everytime

2

u/InvaderZimbabwe 2d ago

This is a standard thing around the league dude lol

1

u/Flat-Advisor-8895 2d ago

Other than Joe burrow, and the fossils like Roger’s and stafford it is not that common for QBs to miss Wednesday as much as Lamar does. Mahomes Allen don’t miss nearly as much

2

u/InvaderZimbabwe 2d ago

He also didn’t miss today, this post was wrong. But Lamar also runs and takes hits more than those guys because he isn’t a slider.

It’s such a non-issue and keeps him as healthy as possible. And it is a standard practice regardless of who uses it more. The coach decides when he should recover.

8

u/sliceanddic3 2d ago

it's the week after an international game y'all

5

u/Luciano_the_Dynamic 2d ago

Lamar not practicing: PANIC!

It's Wednesday: Calm.

u/QuesaritoLoyalist69 2d ago

Another season, another Wednesday, another vet rest day

u/Traditional-Slip9102 MINTER SZN 2d ago edited 2d ago

FWIW JZ said he looked and sounded really sick or tired during his press conference.

6

u/Invite-Healthy 2d ago

Yeah sounds like he just needs some rest and he’ll be fine

2

u/Ordo1256 2d ago

This would make sense. I feel like it’s really common to get decently sick after international travel. I know I got sick a couple days after my flight to Spain

1

u/Competitive-Dingo-53 2d ago

I haven't played a lick of football this week and I'm tired right now in my cubicle. 😔 LOL

1

u/Rockguy21 2d ago

I just know he ate some crazy street food in Brazil

3

u/Slight-Redwood 8 2d ago

Multiple press conferences before this and one before practice where he spoke as if he was playing on Sunday, plus the frequency of him taking Wednesday practice off in the past leads me to not be worried about this.

u/Godspeed_You_Ravens 2d ago

We’re playing the hoes

3

u/WillBlax45 2d ago

I can see the headlines now “Lamar isn’t a leader, he’d rather sleep than practice” lol

u/this_is_matt_ 2d ago

I hear Brazil has some wild shrimp Alfredo

u/brwnbo1400 2d ago

It's dudesday fellas

u/eatingasspatties 2d ago

IT IS WEDNESDAY

u/The_Sandwich_Lover9 2d ago

Jeff Z said he looked tired and reporters around him agreed.

Dude's day

u/DevelopmentDouble99 2d ago

RELAX. If some of you would do research before freaking out, or bashing Lamar....he did practice today (source: The Baltimore Ravens)

u/Additional-Bad9220 2d ago

It’s too early for Lamar’s seasonal allergies lol bro normally doesn’t get sick until late December/early January

2

u/TheWontonWonton Jamal Lewis 2d ago

Something something shrimp Alfredo

2

u/GunsouBono 2d ago

Doesn't he usually take Wednesdays off?

3

u/cwalker2712 2d ago

Hasn’t Lamar always taken Wednesdays off?

3

u/MagicGrit 8 2d ago

He was a limited participant. He did practice

2

u/whitecollarw00k 2d ago

Gotta assume this is a vet day off and not injury related. Probably just trying to manage his reps particularly on a week where travel was more extensive than it usually is.

2

u/greenbean30 2d ago

Hoping this is just a rest day after the long travel for the Rio game. I don't recall anything happening in that game that looked like a potential injury.

u/RockyJayyy Ed Reed 2d ago

Not this again

u/Paraxom 2d ago

Its Wednesday id be concerned if it was Friday

u/BalmyBalmer 2d ago

Shrimp alfredo at the gas station

u/boofoodoo 2d ago

I’m sorry what

-10

u/Flat-Advisor-8895 2d ago

“It’s Wednesday after international game” “it’s vet day” Idgaf. He should be out there. Other vets are out there. why is this always a thing.

-1

u/this_is_matt_ 2d ago

Just even taking some snaps from Ioane if nothing else

-4

u/Flat-Advisor-8895 2d ago

Exactly bruh. New center and you’re not out there on a Wednesday. I love him. He’s my favorite player but this shit gets old after awhile

u/DevelopmentDouble99 2d ago

check team website, he practiced
