Game Over...Lamar Jackson...Ravens

[feltdizz]

I bet the OC who said Jackson lacked a basic understanding of defenses works for the Ravens.

The Ravens could have stayed put and landed an elite player like Tremaine Edmunds or Derwin James who both fell into their laps at #16 like manna from heaven, and they could have kept their 2nd round picks in 2018 and 2019. That would have been the smart move.

Instead they got trade happy and ended up with a TE who will turn 25 years old during his rookie training camp and an inaccurate running QB.

Ultimately, when you put all three of their trades together, this is what Baltimore gave up last night:

1.16 (LB Tremaine Edmunds)
2.52
2nd round pick in 2019
5.154
6.215

And this is what Baltimore got back:
1.25 (TE Hayden Hurst)
1.32 (QB Lamar Jackson)
3.65
4.132

I'd much rather have a mid-first stud (especially when two legit top 10 talents fell into your lap), plus two 2nd round picks and a 4th and a 5th, as opposed to a couple of late first round prospects with flaws (an old TE and an inaccurate running QB) plus a 3rd and a 4th.

Thank you Ruth; All the Ravens did was assure themselves of being bottom dwellers for years to come. Browns looked poised to be the second best team in this division; jumping over the Ratbirds and the stripped s*its.

It's funny, because Ozzie Newsome has said in the past that when he drafts, he isn't necessarily looking for a home run...he just wants a double...

Lamar Jackson = box of rocks

Lamar Jackson = box of rocks

Exactly; but when you shake the box, you think it's full of cookies. LOL

Ravens should've took Ridley...Dopes lol

Ravens should've took Ridley...Dopes lol

ravens should have took derwin james when he fell in their lap

That’s what they should have done!!

[pittpete]

Haha, that too. I was on the phone with my brother hoping they would take the TE...

He’s an inaccurate passer. No worries. Who cares how strong his arm is if he can’t hit his target? AKA Michael Vick.

He isn't an inaccurate passer is the thing. You haven't been paying attention and sticking to your ignorant selling points. He had zero WR help...many many drops. Second, he had no OL...running for his life. The guy has the best arm in the draft and can drop a football in a bucket at 50 yards. IMO, he has more tools than DeShaun Watson by a long shot. Bigger arm, faster feet, and Watson actually didn't progress through his reads as well as Jackson (when he actually had enough time). You speak from a place of ignorance and bias. Lets me be frank...you don't believe "running QBs" aka Black Qbs can have success in the league.

Who is he throwing to?

True...they need to get him some help.

Shawn, your the one being ignorant. Everyone knows that behind Josh Allen, Jackson is the most inaccurate passer in this draft. At a 55-56 percent clip. He was down right dominated against good teams every time he faced them. And it wasn't because of a bunch of drops.

I don't believe in running QB's period. From Steve Grogan , to Randall Cunningham to Tim Tebow to Lamar Jackson. They don't win anything.

And your the one being ignorant and throwing out insults because you have NO DATA to back up what you say other then your own prejudice for athletes that pretend to be QB's. I have over 50 years of Super Bowls to show what running QBs win. What do you have????????????????????????

Exactly.

[Steel Maniac]

Who is he throwing to?

The same guys he was throwing to when he was putting up all those number against inferior teams. When he played real teams, he got dominated and threw interceptions too. And again, please go google the guy who talked to Jackson and found out Jackson can't understand offensive schemes or defenses. Go pull that story up about Jackson.

Unlike Deshaun Watson who performed against the best defense in college football in Alabama.............twice!!

[Shawn]

At this point, trying to educate ignorance is an exercise in futility. Lets just leave it as...we will see. Let me just say, against Watson...Jackson had 457 total yards and almost 300 through the air...three TDs and one INT. Watson had 322 yards total offense.
