This writer thinks Lamar is toast to return a Raven........

Coach said:
What if he signs for a lot less than Lamar Jackson and the Ravens presumably trade the sulky man for draft picks? The again who would want him missing 10 games in two seasons and passing as he does? This move might make sense for the Ravens. They would save a lot of cap space, and upgrade at quarterback. They have a good team around Lamar.

What does Walter recommend???

Personally, this is another 27 seconds that I wish I could have taken back in my life...

Harbage does this all the time. Any time the team is unsuccessful, he fires a coordinator. He never takes fault or blame. Unfortunately, Roman is the scapegoat for Lamar getting injured. If Lamar was healthy all year, Roman would still be a Raven.

Sounds like someone else we know...

Roman developed a great offense for Lamar and Harbage didn't get a #2 or #3 who could run this system successfully, nor did he get any weapons. JK got a whopping 500 yards rushing and both starting wideouts just over 400 yards each receiving. The Steelers by comparison in what many of us believe is a down year had both WR over 800 yards and Najee over a 1000 yards.

But let's fire the OC who has had the Ravens in the top 10 scoring offenses until they lose Hollywood Brown last season, and Lamar goes down this year.
 
Is the question really what if the least mobile old broken down qb goes to the team whose entire offense is built around the qb running the ball and who has no wrs? You know… the one in cold weather with no direct ties to the qb and not close to any of his kids?
Is the answer that it would prove Brady is smoking crack?
 
Yeah on surface, Ravens look like a fit, but he needs receivers that are exactly where they need to be at right time. Ravens receivers are the *****. he is one part win and one part Tom looks great.
 
I want him to go to baltiwhore. Would give our "D" a chance to redeem themselves for past ghost(s) and to kill him in a sack frenzy.

JK missed time because of injury and is ridiculously underused. He averages 5.9 yards per carry over his career. Najee has one game in two years in which he had an average of over 5.9 YPC.

He definitely should have been on the sideline. He also hasn't even practiced. He had a bone bruise last year and now the PCL that should have healed by now. I just can't see anyone paying him even as much as the Rats previously offered him. I know I wouldn't. I don't see his "injury bugs" getting any better moving forward.

He has a 45 million dollar guaranteed franchise tag coming. That's more money than he has made in his entire career. I had a feeling he wouldn't chance it and play.

They really are clueless giving him that. Almost as bad as the clowns... Old clowns new clowns I guess.

What happens if the Ravens read this board and find out Lamar sucks? No way they offer him a billion and our plans go up in smoke.

I just hope they offer 1/2 that.!!!

What Baltimore does isn't of concern. They built their offense entirely around Lamar. It's clear that hasn't worked up to this point. If they keep Lamar it won't get any better and will only get worse with time. If they move on they will have to rebuild the offense from scratch.

Same with the Pats. It's pretty clear that what they had doesn't work without Lord Brady in his prime (and lots of cheating). Hopefully Billicheat tries to prove that wrong and the franchise turns into the rot that it deserves to be.

I always thought he was fairly easy to defend. If you minimize his running, his passing game goes to **** in a hurry. His running game is what opens up the big holes he has to throw into...without those, he is not that accurate and forces throws. Depending on who they replace him with, we might regret not having him with the Ravens.



As bad as Steelers have been lately we are still like 5-2 or somthing against the Ravens lately. I hope they sign him to a HUGE deal.

Wasn’t his mother whispering in his ear at that time as well…..?


He still thinks he is worth “highest” paid QB in the NFL.

I hope they find common ground with HUGE guaranteed money and length of contract. Not for his sake, but for mine.

Now QBs want practically all the money guaranteed

Sort of crazy. I think that is a mistake teams taking that on.

Here is the thing, most owners simply cannot afford to put a quarter billion into escrow, so nobody is going to get that Watson deal. And Haskim is a ******* idiot… i hope he goes bankrupt and has to bail on the nfl… he is going to be a broke *** jerrah Jones type

That seems like a crazy amount of money to turn down. Even LeVeon would have taken that deal.

Shut the hell up... Damnit man..
 
Final 4 QB Salary Cap Hits

2. Mahomes $36 million
18. Burrow $10 million
53. Hurts $1.6 million
80. Purdy $724 K (24. Lance $8 million, 16. Garrapolo $12 million)

Teams don't do well by overpaying "franchise" QBs.
