Just feels to me like 2019 was Peak Ravens. The league catches up with these (Roman) things, and as a general rule running QBs peak early.

I was just thinking that Lamar peaked last year.

Who is going to throw to said WR? 😁

Feel free to have any opinion of Jackson that you want. Regardless, you need to give your QB some weapons on the outside. It’s all run game and inside routes from the TE’s. Would you be happy with the Ravens WR corps ? I doubt it, and I think many QB’s would struggle with that supporting cast. Roman simply had no plans of utilizing outside WR’s with Jackson, so they didn’t bother. Eventually, you need someone out there.

Jackson is not a "running QB". He has 46 TD passes to only 9 career interceptions.  He is a great QB.

I think what you are talking about is actually a counter-history as it involves a non-historical narrative, the sort of thing game theory and possible worlds contemplate. Historical revisionism takes an actual event but then alters the perceived narrative by allocating motives, effects, and judgment differently. It's like turning Christopher Columbus into a villain once one has adopted a quasi-Marxist, anti-patriarchal prism as what will define what is significant. Mahomes as a Bills qb is squarely in the counter-history realm and no one knows, but I seriously doubt he would have had the same level of quick success for reasons you outlined.

&@$* is getting real in this discussion thread! I drop in to see info about the game and get a deep dive into historiography. Ya never know what you’ll find! ;)

Well, true in one sense. But in another sense his success is as dependent on his scary good running ability as any NFL QB I've seen since Mike Vick.

Thanks I didn’t feel like explaining it. 
 

I disagree about Mahomes though. Tyrod was terrible in 2017 and got pulled for peterman yet still made the playoffs. Mahomes would have been better at the very least and maybe we beat the Jags who ended up almost making the super bowl.

Apparently I’m the only one who’s not orgasmic about CEH....

 

I mean, he’s good... but not elite.  He’s a non-elite, really good running back.... We got one of those in the 3rd.

Bad spit on 3rd down run.   The side judge who spotted, couldn't have seen when the knee was down
