I look at those numbers, and the narrative that has surrounded Jackson his whole career, and I jump at the chance to bring in any of the offensive coaches from Baltimore, and resign Fields. Looking at 2022 Justin Fields, he had 2,200 yards passing, with 17/11, and 1,100 yards rushing with 8 TD's. His WR core was worse than ours WITHOUT Pickens. Get a legit WR2, run Baltimore's offense with Fields and he can absolutely play the Jackson role. The key would be building around him, something Tomlin doesn't understand. He has his scheme and forces players into it, instead of fitting the scheme to the players he has.Basic math isn't enough to make a thorough analysis. Assuming Bengals were a top passing team by any metric because they had a top 5 QB would be correct... but how often were they trailing in Q4 when passing was their only option to make a comeback.
I'm just looking at your numbers, I wouldn't say Baltimore runs far more than they pass, but I would say that about Philadelphia. Also a team that has 4000 passing yards doesn't sound "runcentric" to me. Their QB is averaging 9YPA and their top back 6 yards per rush. These are nutty numbers. Looking closer the QB is also averaging 6YPA rushing...
Looking strictly at Baltimore's offensive numbers, they shouldn't lose a game but they did because the back of their defense sucked for half a season. The game has changed forever because of these guys and I'm enjoying it
I get your gist though
We aren't drafting high enough to get a franchise caliber prospect, we have most of the parts needed. It's a better option than anything we've seen since 2018 Ben. After he got hurt, they tried forcing this "safe" crap offense we have been trotting out.
