Lamar Jackson

Okay, now look around the league and tell me who else found a starting QB that late. You make it sound easy lol

The patriots, and no it's not easy, but there are quite a few better QBs in FA. I don't think Jones will be staying if he wants 45m

Dude played just a few games. Let the tape come out before we think Zappe can just take over.

I guess, but the point is, the giants shouldn't pay Jones 45m. If I were them, I would think it's not worth it.

It would not shock me if they did pay him. He played much better this year and turned himself into a dual threat option with 700 yards on the ground which was surprising

1. Injury concerns. Hasn't finished a season in two years. Wouldn't want to commit long term guaranteed $ to a player who's not shown they can stay healthy in critical spots.
2. Mostly an "Owner" view, but I'm not giving out a 5 year full gtd deal at that price point to anybody, because there's no guarantees he's going to be a high-end player in 5 years. If he starts to trend downwards after 2-3 years, there's nothing I can do about it. I just have to pay him to be worse.

this point makes sense. Some have told me how it would stop the Ravens from being able to make any moves which is something I don't see

These odds are closer to a straight flush losing to a royal flush bad beat. You usually don't find qbs in the 6th and 7th round that go on to have success.

Tbh I’m still struggling with where Lamar ranks among the leagues elite. I can’t find a recent ranking that has him in the top 5, most having him around 9-12. And with the injuries the past two years it’s not helping his cause. From a ravens (business) standpoint it’s like hiring a contractor for a big project and paying him in full, upfront, with no insurance that they’ll finish the job. I mean who does that? Oh yeah, the dummies on Lake Erie.

1)Injured two straight seasons where he could not finish out the season, including the playoffs. Sick several times and missed games ,including many practices this year.
2) Only 1 playoff win in 5 seasons.
3) Is not an accurate deep passer and is not as explosive running the ball.
4) Never joined the team for this years playoff game.(don''t give me this shit that injured teams don't travel , this was a freaking playoff game. Show some fucking support for your team instead of watching it at home on tv. )
