Lamar has mcnabbian level rabbit ears...😄

Lamar is sensitive to begin with. On top of that, he's trying to bulldoze the Ravens into paying him top quarterback money, and quite frankly, he's not a top quarterback in my opinion. He is Joe Flacco of the legs.

Teams have caught on and he needs to get paid NOW before the reality of a run first QB that can be effectively game planned against comes home to... well, roost. If I were the Ravens I would quietly make him available for a shit ton, take the picks/players and and then if they want to run the very same offense do it with Huntley.

Huntley plus three 1's or starters is greater than Lamar ever was or will be.
 

Coo coo cachoo, Mrs. Robinson

Lamarblemouf is the best RB in the NFL...
 
Lamar Jackson is what most of us have thought he was...an average QB. (I've left out a lot of graphs and stats to give the meat of the study.)

The below graph details the direction of Jackson’s performances starting with his rookie season in the top right hand corner. He moves from a standard rookie to league MVP and proceeds to regress in the following two seasons. (The graph wouldn't paste well)
Last season turned out to be Jackson’s least successful as a professional as he missed the playoffs for the first time and was marred by injuries.

Before we address the injuries to get a sense as to how that might affect any contract negotiations, it should be stated that the number of games played was not a variable in the clustering model and so Jackson’s movement towards the lowest cluster was a measure of what he did when he was on the field. So even ignoring the injuries he sustained, this was Jackson’s most underwhelming season of his young career so far.

Although Jackson is far more elusive than [most] quarterbacks, it didn’t result in a great difference of sacks per game. The sacks also don’t account for any potential hits he may get on the run.

What is the greater concern is the trend of these sacks per game. In 2019, Jackson had 1.53 sacks per game which was only 28th highest in the league. In 2020, Jackson averaged 1.9 which was right in the middle of the pack for the league and then in 2021 he almost led the league in sacks per game.

There’s no evidence to state that Jackson’s performance is good enough to warrant pay equal to quarterbacks such as Patrick Mahomes.

Should this contract deal get signed, it is likely to be much closer to the top-end as he is not going to accept anything else.

His play, however, places him near the middle of the pack among quarterbacks.
 
The fact the ravens haven't locked him up yet says it all. just like what i've said about mayfield starting with last season.

His deal, if it gets done, will end up hampering the Ravens for years just as Flacco's deal did. I can't blame the Ravens for hesitating.
Mazz thought I was nuts a year ago when I said the Ravens may not sign him to a big deal. "Mobile QBs are the wave of the future" she said.

I've seen others on the interwebs say they'd do just as well with his backup (Huntley?) for way less $$ and can use that money to improve the team
I don't see Lamar getting any better. Ravens should look at Lamar like the guy that banged the hot chick with the big gazonga's, then dumped her when she wanted an engagement ring :coffee:

(to drag this analogy further, Huntley is the cute girl who would make the better wife, she just won't make your shallow friends jealous)

Hmmm.... I agree. I think I posted...

So many people want to die on this hill.
 
As a spectator, I love them. As a GM, I wouldn't want one.
Yes. I said this about Barry Sanders - impossible to gameplan when you can't count on something as simple as a dive play doing what it's supposed to do with any regularity - but so much more so with a QB. Love to watch them, no fun to play (or scheme) against them, but glad they're not on your team.
