Interesting note at the end: 

“Payton predicted that Jackson will be elsewhere in 2023. It’s a feeling that definitely is beginning to spread throughout the league.”

I wonder what the haul will be for whatever team would trade for him 🧐

ARTICLE: 
 

As the Ravens prepare to face the Bengals on Sunday night, they’ll do it without starting quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Saturday on Fox, a former NFL starting quarterback had some pointed words for Jackson.

Mike Vick had this to say about Jackson’s reluctance to play with a PCL sprain in his knee: “It’s the playoffs, you’re three games away. Put a brace on it. Get it going. Put a brace on it, let’s go. . . . I played a whole season with a torn MCL.”

During the same segment, former Saints coach Sean Payton expressed disagreement with Jackson’s decision to go public with his injury status, adding that Payton is “hearing grumblings” from the building, and that there are “teammates” who believe his “process has been slower than expected.”

Payton added that, if he were the coach, Jackson wouldn’t even be on the sideline with a knee injury that keeps him from playing.

“With a lower body injury, he’s going to be up in the press box, he’s not going to be on the field for me,” Payton said.

Jackson may never be on the field again for the Ravens. Payton predicted that Jackson will be elsewhere in 2023. It’s a feeling that definitely is beginning to spread throughout the league.

Look, I'm not saying the Panthers should give up the farm for a guy who you will need to sign to a long-term deal.  

But we owe it to the team to at least call the Ravens after their season comes to an end tonight and see what's up.

He will want 5 years, fully guaranteed, at $250m.  To me, that is not worth it.  He is an exciting player, but at the QB position, you need consistency over highlights.  He has a 62% completion rating and averages less than 200 yards per game.

He usually has a solid defense.

And then there is the injury--will he be available?  Of course, you can ask that of any qb, but Jackson takes chances when he runs.

You have to be really sold on Lamar if you give up a massive haul.

If I have my choice, I probably get Derek Carr and keep the picks.

Lamar is obviously better than Carr but is Lamar + the increased money + draft picks better than Carr?

I don't a situation where that math easily works in our favor. It could very well POTENTIALLY end up in our favor.

That's a tough one without knowing the price in advance.

Where is the benefit in having a face of the franchise type of player, who tells fans to eat a dick, frequently misses time due to injury, and has been a god-awful turnover machine in the playoffs? No way to leave out the dollar cost of bringing this face of the franchise on to the team as well. Perhaps I am missing something?

Will the new norm be fully guaranteed deals? I know the owners and GMs hate them and we’re quite upset the browns did it. Maybe, just maybe, there won’t be anymore. Now, there could be a lot of guaranteed money but not all of the contract.

      89 on The Pivot

      Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy.

      89 on The Pivot

      Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.

      This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
