Lamar Jackson

Circular reference though. The perception of not playing when you could causes teams to wonder if they want to write you checks to begin with.
There's no right or wrong answer.
His inability to get on the field, regardless of whether he could or couldn't, is impacting his paycheck today.

Hence the theme of the offseason. If you're concerned about how long you'll keep receiving paychecks, may be a smart move to get the biggest paychecks you can as quickly as you can. Basically the opposite stance he's taken.
He was in his contract year though. Him taking any kind of risk that game that couldve likely ruined him wouldnt have been smart on his end.. if lamar was paid a fully gtd contract already, would ravens staff would have wanted him to play? The tables would turn then.. lamar would basically have nothing to lose if he played while the ravens have everything to lose

Conversely though now there is a large segment of owners, with the Falcons owner saying it out loud, that think he lacks durability, and that makes no one want to give him the guaranteed money he wants.

He basically lost the bet he made on himself 2 years ago and has not realized it yet because even the media refuses to admit it.

No, neither of those guys ran/run the way Cam did. And not sure why you mention Flacco, there weren't really any designed runs in his offense. lol
Oh both those guys would rather run over people which is what I meant. Just trying to aggravate with Flacco lol but in hindsight he should have trucked.
