This will definitely be a case study for running QB’s going forward! If Lamar continues to be injured and this contract turns into a mess, the market will lower the value of running QBS for sure.

Probably also be kind of a big thing In terms of how people see Eric DeCosta.

I wouldn't say he's doing a bad job or anything, but he's not exactly Ozzie Newsome level just yet.

(sentiments that many a Ravens fan has expressed over the last few years)

I mean it's more nuanced than that. We'll see what they ultimately gave him, my guess is they caved as they didn't really have a choice considering the leverage franchise QBs have in today's NFL, but it was completely reasonable to be hesitant to give the dude a fully guaranteed contract considering he has missed that much critical time the past few years.

Of course it’s more nuanced than that. Both sides of the table were pretty definitive when it came to Lamar, though.

Totally agree, great thought! Gonna be very hard to replicate the consistency Ozzie had in his drafts for sure.

Well to put in another way, do you want to hear talking heads discussing Jackson as the Panthers are announcing their pick? 😄

After the last several weeks of reading the Huddle, I truly don’t think there’s anything else I need to know about any QB we draft.  It will simply be 15 minutes talking about Young’s height, leadership, S2 score, playmaking ability, fit in our scheme, etc.

If the ultimate outcome is that he got a little more money but still didn't get the fully guaranteed contract, I'm not sure I'd call that the Ravens "caving".

And yeah, it was perfectly reasonable for them to hold their ground on that, especially for a guy who hasn't played a full season in a few years.

I agree the huddle did a great job at getting absolutely every detail about the top 4 QBS this year. The Huddle is gonna be referencing this QB draft class for the next decade I can already tell the, "Bryce vs CJ" "Ar-15 was the right pick" gonna be alot to deal with haha.

So he just signed the highest paying contract in nfl history and all these people on here were talking poo because him and his mom were negotiating the deal. Just laugh out loud.

Time to bump the "Lamar showing us how not to handle contract negotiation" thread and laugh at all the morons

      Kicker

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins

      I basically made almost the exact predictions on a phone call with a buddy about 3 weeks ago. I really do expect Evero gone before the seasons end, Young to just not able to get over the hump enough and DC to head into next season on a VERY hot seat.
