Look no further than Mahomes vs Jackson to differentiate between a QB who can run vs a running QB.

To add: I’d take Watson over Jackson as well.
Jackson’s composure while down was not encouraging whatsoever.

Jackson doesn't have the accuracy to be an elite QB in the league. That's pretty much a requirement and he doesn't have it.

The good news for the Ravens is it’s not like you have to invest THAT much more in getting him some offensive weapons. How do you improve on any of this? Maybe you find him a speed back for 3rd down, and even then, are you sure you’re not just better served having Lamar tote the rock himself?
The bad news is you now depend on Lamar being a better thrower such that he can run an offense with mix concepts... you know... a real NFL offense. I happen to believe his arm is good enough to accomplish that goal, but it’s going to be a problem getting him to add in things that aren’t in his comfort zone. After all, if you do one thing so damn well, why force the guy to sprinkle in more plays that require him to use his weaknesses? Lamar puts in the work. Does he put in the right KIND of work? Is Roman adept enough at teaching Lamar how to work? |

Chiefs have proven they can beat playoff teams with Matt "Midnight Hour" Moore at QB. Ravens still haven't won a playoff game WITH Jackson in two postseason appearances.

The stoic sitting the bench thing got me too... it’s like he can’t be coached up because all he does is run and isn’t that great at reading coverages..

There is a reason that type of offense isn’t sustainable. Also, I don’t know what kind of work can be put in to prevent your QB from turtling when things don’t work as planned. I knew the Ravens were going to lose the moment he started isolating himself and pouting on the sidelines.

Where are the Lamar ballwashers that were bragging him up all year? I remember someone calling him Lamarvelous. Funny how those guys are quiet after seeing him dismal performance against the Titans. I said that they would be one and done in the playoffs. And I'm not the only one who thought that. Running backs behind center never have and never will be successful long term in the NFL.

Is there a GM in football who would take Jackson over Mahomes?

And he has Boyle, Anderson and Hurst at TE. And he has Hollywood Brown. And he has Mark Ingram. AND he has a good OL. Lamar can’t pass the ball well. Yeah there were drops, but part of that was terrible accuracy on Lamar’s part. That’s the truth. The Titans dared that ****er to pass and he was awful. He’s Alex Smith throwing the ball 20+ yards. He can’t get velocity on outside throws or deep ones. It will never get better for Lamar than it is now. He just doesn’t have the skills or talent that Mahomes does.

Lamar Jackson set the record for carries by a QB as a rookie. He then broke that record this year.
His success isn’t sustainable unless he dramatically changes his style of play. The first injury will happen. He’ll come back a step slower. He’ll still think he can make the plays he used to. He’ll take worse hits. He’ll get injured again and again. It’s fun to watch in the short term, but it will not last. The League can protect you as a passer, but when you become a runner you’re fair game. I’m skeptical that he can or will change his style of play. If it was easy (or even possible) to become a great pocket passer after getting to the NFL, you would see far fewer busts. He’s been playing this way his entire life. I doubt he can change his instincts, muscle memory, and fundamentals in an offseason. This is similar to players going to the NBA who can’t shoot. You hear frequently that Player X “could be an All Star if he can develop a realizable outside shot.” Learning a skill like that takes a lot of time. It’s hard to develop that when you’re already in your 20’s. Maybe he’ll settle in and become a great passer who makes all the throws. I’m just doubtful it will ever happen.
