Well yeah. Since hes essentially a running back that throws check down routes, holding him to 40 yards rushing or <4 ypc is pretty impressive. Kind of like how holding McCaffrey under 120 total yards from scrimmage is impressive this season. Kind of like how holding Brees to under 250 yds and 2 TDs is impressive. If you eliminate a teams strengths it's quite impressive.
He also only had 5/28 with sleeves. Not exactly "stunting" on anyone.

My belief that he's essentially a RB that mainly throws checkdowns? Sure thing. He's middle of the pack in average yards per attempt and just inside the top 30 in yards per game. He has 151 rushing attempts, top 20 in the NFL, more than Saquon Barkley, Frank Gore, Devon Singletary and Austin Ekeler, just to make a few, he's just outside the top 25 in passing attempts.
Essentially I'm saying he's utilized more heavily as a runner than a passer. This was not a knock on his skill, quite the opposite actually as I was actually noting that holding him from competing to his strengths should be seen as an accomplishment. Likewise holding other top competitors from competing to their strengths is also seen as an accomplishment on defense.

He mentioned he's a RB masquerading as a QB, however fails to mention that Lamar has not played in the 4th quarter for 4-5 games this season. Alot of this season he has been up big in the second half and thus has had to run the ball to run the clock out. Using yards per game isnt telling the whole picture.. but Im not surprised as there are a lot of low IQ idiots on the sports misc forum.
The problem with "holding Lamar to 40yards rushing" is that there is another part of his game that you need to stop. Its impressive hes able to have good success throwing the ball when his #1 WR is a 5'9 170 rookie WR. Willie Snead, Roberts, and boykin don't strike fear into corners on the outside. But again you don't need to sling it all over the field when your consistently up by 10+

4-5 games? Can you name them? I've only got 2 in my head IIRC it was the Rams and Bengals games. But I could be missing one. And I already went over what I was describing. If you disagree that's fine, I'm just giving my take.
Similarly I disagree that he was "stunting" on anyone in the 1st half of the Bills game as you noted.***Mariah Carey is my 10/10 Crew***
