Does he get hurt in the SB? Cuz if he get's hurt before that, we can win it without him. If that's the case, SB. This Raven's team won't win it if he get hurt. JMO

Gets hurt after celebrating the 95 yard hail mary to win the SB against the Pats.

Lamar Jackson is a more accurate Mike Vick.

 

Surprisingly, Lamar is a pretty good passer which surprises me.

Bang, I know you like Jackson pre-draft a lot. I also, like Jackson pre-draft and had him pegged as my #3 overall and was one of the few that supported drafting him. 

With that, you and I both know if he runs like this game in and game out his career will most likely end somewhere in his early 30's if not before. It's not sustainable for a QB longevity. 

For the Ravens this could be the plan all along. When teams "make him play QB" he will carve them up as well. 

The Ravens are letting him do what he does. It’s why he is so good. They aren’t trying to making him a something he isn’t. If his career only lasts 7 years then they are going to ride it out and get the best 7 years he has.

Still not totally convinced if Ravens are unplayable, or Rams are just pure garbage

Not sure, they hammered the Pats, Texans, Seahawks, Packers and now the Rams.

Your being ignorant if you think its his arm thats scaring anyone.   Stop the run, take away wide open passes in the middle of the field, and make him play from the pocket.

Plot twist. As proven by ANOTHER passing touchdown. ITS JACKSON

The dirty little secret is that NFL defenses aren't built to stop running games anymore

 

It's a passing league... Defenses are built to rush passers and play coverage

Rams lost to Mason Rudolph 

I have my answer.

 

I can't wait to play Ravens tbh. Hope it's flexed

[Lurker]

I wonder what Jackson's QB rating is right now... Lol...

[Boatdrinks]

Ravens are good, but Rams are officially hot garbage. Goff has sucked since around last December. 

[Pre1236]

This is insane.

[SCBills]

Ok, the Rams are trash.  This is just insane.  
 

Every run averages 10 yards and WR’s are running wide open.

Colin Cowherd had an interesting observation today about Lamar & Baltimore.  He said they were the 2015 Carolina Panthers all over again.  A freaky, gifted QB that did things that no one really had done before in the NFL combined with a great coaching staff and strong defense.   And it translated into a 15 - 1 season and Super Bowl berth.  The NFL then caught up with Cam and while the Panthers remained a playoff contender they never approached the heights of 2015 again.

 

The NFL is now desperately trying to catch up with what the Ravens are doing.  But all these defenses are built to stop spread offenses that throw the ball.  A team with a great O line, bruising RB, shifty & fast QB and a stable of TE's and a COMMITMENT to run the football on any down & distance situation is simply unlike what every other NFL team does.  

 

My guess is that the Ravens run will end on a cold, windy day in Foxburro in the AFC title game.  Then next year you'll notice that Cleveland & Pittsburgh will field defenses better able to handle this type of offense.   Division opponents are always the first to successfully adjust.  And of course the NFL being a copy cat league means that other teams will try to run the Ravens offense.  This hastens the process of defenses catching up to the Ravens offense because they have to find personnel that can play against this type of offense.  

 

In the end the NFL will catch up.  The question is how long will it take.  But it wouldn't shock me if by net year the league has caught up.   Just look at the LA wonder offense - the league has caught up and passed it by.

 

 

 

 

Alternatively, Jackson has a run like Brady, Manning or Rothlisberger did with multiple super bowl wins and perennial appearances in playoffs.

I'm with that!

 

Let the player, play to his strength/s.

He was a good passer in college. Threw it all over the place in an offense with pro concepts.

Or more athlectic Russell Wilson...

 

He has a long way to go to match Wilson's passing game from the pocket.

 

I actually think Jackson is a unique to the NFL talent.  Decent passing game with a body type that resembled a 3rd down RB.  He moves, accelerates and cuts like a RB.  Wilson & Vick couldn't do that in the tight spaces Lamar does between the tackles.  He and Baltimore really are effectively executing a college offensive scheme. 

 

The NFL doesn't handle innovation very well. 

[TheFunPolice]

Lamar has 22 passing TDs

 

Wow!

Eventually he will get hurt, he’s going to take a shot and it will slow him down.
