I'm still convinced its sizzle with way to much free time

One way or the other, they need to get something done ASAP. We can't have another year of doubt and drama at the QB position. No doubt the situation affected performance, especially Lamar

Yes, just make a decision either way and we will roll with it. Just don't want this to drag another year.

If I was Lamar I wouldn’t even entertain re-opening talks with the Ravens unless they tell him Roman is gone and we’ll surround you with whatever you want, cost permitting. Otherwise why wouldn’t he want to go to the Jets or the Dolphins or another team that knows how to surround their QB with talent?

Because there's no guarantee those teams will have a HC, OC, or weapons when he gets there. Those teams have provided evidence they're willing to surround a QB with weapons when their QB doesn't get paid anything. What happens when the QB is making $50M?
In two years, there's no cap gymnastics possible where Lamar, Tyreek Hill, and Jaylen Waddle are on the same roster. One of those three guys won't be there.

End of day, when Lamar's getting paid market value, he's not going to get a bunch of high end weapons. If he gets 1 or 2, that's a ton, and one of them will certainly be on a rookie contract. He's going to have to elevate his players, not the other way around. That'll be true in Baltimore or any other franchise.

I agree with the sentiment in your post. The reason I believe Lamar is perhaps among the few QBs' that can carry that $ figure reasonably well is that he has always been a force multiplier. He makes players around him better than they are otherwise. He needs to stay a Baltimore Raven.

I believe he has made Duvernay better, but there is a limit. Proche rarely got any chances, but I agree we need to keep drafting wide receivers. We have hit on Bateman, but we have been unlucky with his injuries.

I know RG3 is a staunch Lamar support through anything, but he's seemingly been the most level headed guy out there regarding the whole situation. Listened to an interview clip on him basically saying that Lamar was hurt and wasn't going to be able to play. The two sides definitely aren't seeing eye to eye with everything, but it's not a completely broken relationship like some are portraying. Said both sides still want to get something done and there's going to be a push soon to see where each side stands.
