And yet Allen has missed a month with injury and LJ has not been hurt. Carson Wentz is a big, strapping dude who can "absorb" hits and he's been hurt 2 years in a row. It's folly to assume a guys size precludes him from injury. 3

Jackson is too (relatively) frail to take his beatings. Even Josh will eventually crack too if he keeps taking (often late) hits, though I do like the way he’s learned to slide and go OB. What burns me is the way he doesn’t get the same level of protection IN the pocket and after the ball is realsed that somebody named....say.... Tom Brady does. They’d be bounced from the league for some of those things that don’t even get flags at times. And they way they target him, it seems like they’re fine to take the 15 yard penalty! It feels like part of the game plan. 1

It feels like part of the game plan. It’s the Cam Newton treatment. Mobile qbs don’t get the same safety as pocket guys. I remember a season opener where Cam took multiple headshots with no penalties.

I get most of the hits when they run, but when you’re in the pocket, you’re the same as Brady, or Brees, or anyone else! Maddening, I tell you!!!
billspro Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 I’m interested in how Jackson plays against a better defence. I was not a fan of his in the predraft process. I thought he would have success against bottom 10 defences because they couldn’t handle his running ability but would really struggle is his running game was taken away.
Mango Posted December 12, 2018 Posted December 12, 2018 With our cap space, can we do a Brock like deal. We will take the salaries of Flacco and Bortles for 2 seconds and a third.

It’s worth pointing out he has better passing numbers than Allen. 1

Very soon Eli, Brady, Brees, Rivers Stafford and Big Ben will be gone as well. In the “olden days” (you know, like maybe a decade ago?), a lot of these guys would be gone already. Blanda was the exception! Guys didn’ty play this long, but between training, nutrition, and the league dressing them in skirts, it’s a brave new world! 2

Yes but if you watch the games Allen is completing a lot more NFL type throws against very good defences. I believe Jackson has played all bottom 5 defences and is still struggling with passing with a much better supporting cast than Allen. I don’t know if any of our offensive players would start on the Ravens. Maybe McCoy? 1

Baltimore drafted a QB high for a reason defenses will figure out jackson just like every other new trend. flacco will lead another team to a conference championship. either he or carr will be a jag. question is what do the bucs and giants/redskins do? i don't see either flacco or carr changing confs.

You do realize that our QB has really only succeeded running the ball, correct? Will he be "figured out?" This thread is starting to get weird. Edited December 12, 2018 by LSHMEAB
