If the Ravens are moving on from Lamar should we knock on that door?

he is a mvp and in play for another one this season, in theory he was much cheaper draft capital wise then our current midget qb.  Hindsight is 20 20 for sure but holy hell Jackson is on a completely different stratosphere then young as far as ability

 

2 firsts for jackson pairing him with moore and another 2nd round pick is interesting to think about.

No disagreement from me there as far as ability goes. At the time, I believe the Ravens were asking for 3 1sts and 2nds (before the non exclusive), plus the guaranteed money to Lamar would have made it difficult to put weapons around him, which was the exact scenario he was pissed about in Baltimore. The thing is after the non exclusive, all they had to do was match the offer so it wasn't likely going to happen for that reason alone unless there was a poison pill in the contract. 

It was always about team building strategy with LJ. Wouldn't matter though because Fitts is definitely the wrong person for that job and we'd have a Ferrari QB cruising in the merge lane in this offense.

Lol that sounds like the Huddle.

I remember wayyyyy back in 2009, you would have half the forum defending Jake Delhomme as a starter even after the 2009 opener against the Eagles and Cardinals meltdown.

The Huddle loves mediocre at best QBs. Huddle wants Underdog, not Superman.

We had Superman, but we broke up for 2 gloves.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
