LeVeon Bell to Ravens?


Recommended Posts

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. I'm all for it

Oh they’ll be all in on him for sure.  I’m sure he’d love to go there too, but I think he goes to the highest bidder.

 

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?

3 more years, 5th year is the team's option.

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.

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.

At least for the next 2 years

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.

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.
