Lamar Jackson

I mean if we trade Lamar before the draft, we can do literally anything we want from a roster construction standpoint.

The problem is most of the quality players will have long since signed elsewhere.

Make no mistake... 2023 is probably a throwaway year if we trade Lamar before the season. Like best cases are you manage to do it before the draft and nab a high-end rookie, or you get a fairly cheap veteran (like a Jimmy G level). I don't see that roster being overly competitive in the AFC as such.
If Lamar plays under the tag in 2023 I think you"ll get the same results

Entirely possible. I think in net we'll lose more players than we gain.

Of course I think if Lamar played a full season last year this team probably advances in the playoffs, so like even Lamar back with the same team as last year is easily a playoff team or better.

It's just a question of how much further can they go.
 
If we pay Lamar for 10 years I think you’ll get the same results for 10 years
Lamar is still not consistent enough throwing the ball to really get more than an occasional playoff win . Accuracy is not his strongpoint.

I do think Lamar could win a Super Bowl with our running game and two receivers like Hill and Waddle in Miami that have the speed to cover his poor accuracy.

Gotta call his durability into question at this point. Any unbiased fan would

absolutely, because availability is the most important ability. That being said, it's not easy to find a player with Lamar's ability and he is rated top 5 by his peers. He's an elite QB. Can we replace him, probably not, but it's not impossible.

I'm in the camp of pay him, but I'd prefer not give him more than 200m guaranteed.
