I think we gotta consider Hodges could be better than Mason. He was pretty good at pushing the ball down the field. Fearless in pushing it down the field.
How is it possible to have the best owner, best front office, best gm, best HC, good/great drafts every year and good FA acquisitions every year, but only have 3 playoff wins in 14 years?
Yet we were hesitant to let Mason go down field beyond a yard.
Are you guys even paying attention to this team? This offense is all about ball control and taking what the defense is giving. Keep the defense off the field.
This game was all about down and distance... on both sides. Jackson was pathetic when there was 10 yds to go on third down.

Hodges was solid at camp and he sees the field okay. He is not as good as MR. That late throw down the middle across his body was a classic example of a guy who needs more reps n that's okay. Both these qb's will get better but seeing MR every day at camp he is just that much more polished (looking off coverage for example). Shame he took a head shot like that. We got the Charger game then the bye week. Perhaps he only misses one game.
Jackson’s team won but he personally is not a good qb. When he’s not playing bottom feeder teams, he’s not good.
Agreed. Plus poor offensive calls. If they would have not let him throw deep and have him run it himself more, it wouldn't have been close.

Fortunately we play the Chargers next, and in prime time too. We will be 2-4 going into the bye. We will come out the other side healthy and ready to role.

By no means am I saying he's got no work to do, but I'm not 100% sure MR > DH???
I think the team performed better with Hodges in the game. His drives were more productive. In regulation we scored a TD, FG, and had 1 Punt with Devlin, but even on the drive with a punt, we moved the ball far enough to flip the field. Plus TOP once Devlin came in was about even in a game where the Ravens had about a 14 min edge.
MR had one successful series that lead to a TD to Juju. We had 3 punts after drives that did essentially nothing. We scored 2 FGs when our D got turnovers in the RedZone at the Baltimore 7 and 19. MR had 1 successful drive out of 6 chances.
I know it's a small sample size, but DH had 7.6 YPA vs MR having 6.6. MR was a little better last week, but he's still at 6.9 YPA for the year. And let's remember, MR has a year under his belt with the team. He hasn't been cut. The team has said they had him rated as a 1st rounder.
DH on the other hand was cut, sent home, then brought back and put on the roster after Ben's injury. And he came in the game looking a lot more confident than MR looks to me. Even comparing their interviews after their first games, MR was all about he need more time to prep, he's a hard worker, yada, yada. DH says he was ready to come in and do what he needed to do. He wasn't nervous. He knew the plays. They didn't have to scale anything back for him.
The main difference between the 2 is one is 6'5 and the other is barely 6'. But imho, DH has it. He's got this uncanny confidence. Even though he was undrafted, he doesn't seemed fazed by anything. To him it's just football and I think he believes he can play football.
I also think DH either had a stronger arm than MR or makes decisions quicker because he doesn't seem to shy away from guys that might not be open by 2 yards before he throws. He just seems to me to have a level of confidence in himself the way that Ben does. Minus the size and big arm. MR seems a little slower, a little more reserved, and just overall a little more cautious in the way he plays.
And I'm not down on MR. I think he's progressed nicely in a years' time. But let's see what everyone thinks when DH has a huge game next week and brings home a victory. Hopefully
