Lamar Jackson

I have no idea how you embedded this in the post but honestly impressive.

I am just an old fart that lucked into it. I couldn't do it again for a 100 bucks.

In reality, I just clicked on the media tab and it showed me a bunch of sites that were approved for inserting media from. Giphy was one of them. So just clicked on it, found the one I was looking for, and embedded it. It worked.
 
 
So the Lamar injury thing is interesting. There will be the group of Lamar haters that will say you see he can't stay healthy. And they'll be coming from a place of ignorance and making a lazy and incorrect argument about him being a running QB.

Lamar has always gotten hurt (significantly hurt) from getting sacked in the pocket. Two years in a row now. And it's the case that he even bulked up considerably this offseason. Lamar has also over theast 2 years been carrying a lot more hip and quad and foot etc nicks even if they didn't keep him out of games.

Should management fear that his availability going forward is going to steadily decline? Are the general number of hits catching up with him? Or were these two kinda freak outcomes that sometimes happen to anyone when you get rocked like that?

I think it's just unfortunate tbh and not a tale of bad things to come. But we'll see. I really wonder what Eric is thinking about the whole situation.
 
Granted it’s Reddit but I can’t believe there’s so many in our own fanbase that want to trade Lamar and move on. You don’t see this with the Chargers and Herbert and he’s never made the playoffs, you don’t see it with Burrow, Mahomes, Allen, Hurts. Just our fanbase, when everyone mentioned has far better weapons. Hell you don’t see it with Fields and he’s not even winning games

The first 3 words are all I needed to know. Can Lamar play better? Of course. Bateman needs to come back healthy and we need to draft a playmaker at WR. Hell, we need to do the same with RB as well because I'm gonna lose my fucking mind if we don't address RB AGAIN and we have to rely on the health of Dobbins and Gus (if he comes back).

I knew this prior to the season and of course a few others as well however, many "fans" of the Ravens drink way too much purple kool-aid to accept certain realities. Now, it is glaring and cats want to jump on the "keep it real" train all of a sudden. Hilarious! The Ravens' "skill" position at the wide receiver spot (and perhaps a few others) is and has been severely lacking in comparison to other AFC perennials such as the Bills, Chiefs, and yes, even the Bengals. Lamar can't do it all by himself! And, even though he was never my dude; we said the same thing about Joe Flacco. Get this man some help!

I said before our front office lives in the stone age, we keep trying the same thing that worked 20 years ago. Our front office needs to evolve and get with the current NFL.

Huntley can't do this by himself. Where are the "dawgs" on this offense that can say to him; "We got you, man! Big Truss?"

I'm sure they said that after the GW this past Sunday. The thing is, they can say that all they want, but at the end of the day, the lack of talent on offense will be more prevalent to their "dawg" mentality.
