BarleyNY Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 14 minutes ago, billsfan89 said: Lamar has to be somewhat realistic that no team is going to want to guarantee 5+ years to a QB that spent the ending of the last two years hurt and has a style of play that is dependent on running. This is not an easy situation for the Ravens to be in. Yeah. I don’t blame Lamar for wanting to get all he can and I don’t blame the Ravens for not giving him what he’s asking for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mushypeaches Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 3 hours ago, Solomon Grundy said: He showed his character by playing at all. He risked playing and got injured believing the Ravens were going to do right by him. Lamar is a better QB than Murray/Wilson. The Ravens offered him a contract less than theirs. Total disrespect IMO. Lamar Jackson is the main reason Ravens stadium is filled. That alone should warrant the money I went to the Bills-Ravens game last year and that stadium was nowhere near full. Those fans get a contending team every year and never show up. Can't wait to see what happens once they trade Lamar and have some 6 win seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 The bigger problem is that Lamar signed with this agent who’s flat out too unrealistic with the signing bonus demand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norcalbillsfan Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I doubt ravens pay that, but there might be a crazy enough franchise to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting a boatload of draft picks seems to be the safest bet. Agreed, at this point it might be best for both parties to part ways. Ravens are in a really tough spot, pretty much damned if you do damned if you don't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrivefourfive Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Hey, is he healthy now? Just remembered.. he was not healthy enough to play in the Raven’s playoff game against the division (that matters!) rival, so what’s the deal now? What’s the injury update? Sounds like he’s negotiating as if he was never hurt to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to shut up and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.. Jackson has hurt himself (no pun intended) by playing and showing he’s now a fragile franny. Watson is/was a much different QB than Jackson, specifically.. Watson can throw. I don’t want to sound like a jerk, but anyone thinking Jackson can throw with the top half of NFL QBs is wrong. I’m over that silly discussion. The last time we saw Watson he was making plays and leading his team in the playoffs. He was absolutely a difference maker, and you’d be nitpicking to say he had flaws that hurt the Texans ROI. So here we have Jackson, the one dimensional (in a bad way) hurt QB vs Watson, a stud QB by every form of the definition. No comparison imo.

Roundybout Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Watson isn't worth what he's paid and he's a better passer than Lamar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 5 hours ago, SCBills said: He’s better than Watson and also doesn’t embarrass fans with his presence. It makes sense that he’d be asking for more. Whether or not Baltimore is willing to pay a QB as much as Cleveland was remains to be seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopey Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 4 hours ago, Calidiehard said: He missed final 4 games the season before as well. The fact he sat for a playoff game says everything about his character and he doesn't deserve a fully guaranteed contract. Also not saying Watson should have gotten that either. I know this is a place where we can share our opinions, but stop it. You don’t know 💩 about his character. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Doug Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Amazing he would turn down $50M per year, even with $133M guaranteed. Sounds like this is about Respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But based on actions of not playing for your teammates in a playoff game does say a lot about his character. Exactly. This is the reason I don’t resort to that kind of crap. I will say this: Once the regular season is over, players have been paid what the contract says. Playoff games are paid separate of the contract. He was essentially a free agent, with no guarantee other than the playoff check. From what I’ve read, he would have earned around $42k. Some here question his character and/or his intelligence. That was a smart move. If you reply that you would have played because you are a high character guy, you’re either lying or dumb as 💩. Think about it, if you get hurt, I guarantee your teammates that you fought for won’t pony up the potential $$ you would lose. Maybe they’ll start a gofundme for you. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 6 hours ago, SCBills said: Injury prone running QB? He has to stay healthy and prove he can be a pocket QB. I would draft a young QB that would match the new offense and part ways with him. 1 hour ago, JoPoy88 said: Availability (or rather, a lack thereof) didn’t seem to hurt Watson with his contract.

I don't think prime Watson is coming back and I think Jackson's best years are behind him. Idk. I’d take Lamar’s MVP year over Watsons best season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
