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.

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.

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

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.

Let the player, play to his strength/s.

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.

cam newton is 6-6 260 pounds and ended up hurt and missing lots of time.  that's just what happens.  nobody is rooting for it it's just reality.

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

 

He threw the ball really slow during tests though. People were knocking Nathan Peterman's throwing velocity yet Lamar threw it slower than him.

 

The DBs are worried about his running ability though so they have to take extra peeks into the backfield.

This.  He’s pretty accurate throwing to wide open receivers... which is what he gets with that running game.

watson threw 49 mph too and he turned out ok.

why?  he threw for a ton of yards in college

 

Yeah, Yolo pointed that out.  College and NFL are two very different worlds, though.  I don't think certain performance in college always translates to the NFL, or at the least it can take a while.

Anything can happen.  But I would bet against it.  The injury risk is real and over time his body will degrade.  Sure Gore has lasted forever as a RB but he's an extreme exception to the rule.

 

I also think that like in college football the pros will adjust to this type of attack.  Don't forget that pro defenses are built to stop the NFL's mono-culture of spread offenses.  What Baltimore is doing is brilliant but it won't last very long because two things will happen:

 

*  More teams will adopt this offense leading to

 

*  Defenses creating schemes and getting personnel able to best handle it.

Lamar is a unique talent, and that’s what some people are missing. I’m not claiming he’ll play at this level forever, but I don’t like any comparison to other players. Lamar Jackson is one of a kind. Greg Roman’s offense simply allows him to showcase his talent. It’s not the same as McVay making Goff look good the past few years. Goff never had special talent like Jackson does.
