Bing Bong Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Makes a ton of sense! I like that. Makes the Ravens running game a 2 headed monster. Helps cover Lamar's weaknesses passing having the best league check down option. AND BELL GETS TO EAT THE STEELERS DEFENSE IN DIVISION NEXT YEAR. That makes for a fun narrative.

Does this mean that they’re pretty confident that LJ is their dude, and therefore, can absorb Bell’s ridiculous deal because they’ll have a starting QB still under his rookie deal for 4 years?

They should give Lamar Jackson a chance to have a full year working with a playbook built for him.. rather than some jerry-rigged converted Flacco offense. LJ went 6-2 as a rookie they have no reason not to see how he improves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ went 6-2 as a rookie they have no reason not to see how he improves. He’s not a passer. Just like Tyrod Taylor. If you make Lamar actually play QB he’s not effective. Look what the Chargers did to him in the playoffs. I guess he could work in a heavy RPO offense similar to what RG3 ran in Washington.... I wouldn’t hitch my wagon to Lamar Jackson, JMO. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They drafted him in the first round and I don't think he gave them any reason to doubt he was the player they drafted. This is the kind of deal you swing with a QB on a rookie deal. Whatever TBD thinks of LJ, he's the Ravens guy so they're gonna operate accordingly. Edited March 10, 2019 by BillsSB2020 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was bad in the playoffs and made me look like a jackwagon. But I happened to randomly catch some Ravens games where he was dominant. Passing was always iffy but much better than what people give him credit for. Chargers game felt like nothing he showed he can do from the regular season was there. He makes much better decisions/passes than he did that game. I'd look for a contingency plan no doubt. But as of now, you really can't just move on from a rookie QB going 6-2. And I don't think an L Bell signing says much about Lamar Jackson anyway. He'll make LJ look better. They would have a really unique offense. But LJ could still ultimately fail and they can still find a QB if they want to move on next year or 2 with Bell still under contract. Bell and LJ with a great defense looks great on paper to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLFan Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 How long has it been since Bell played football? He is a hamstring injury waiting to happen.

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Bell is a great all around back but he needs a dominant offensive line which the Ravens don't have imo. He waits to hit the holes, much like Brown his best bet is the Steelers or Cowboys both of which don't need his services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, one that excels in a specialty is most certainly a master of his craft. His whining and bitching, as pathetic as it is, does not exclude him from being the best in the business at this time.
