Ok, here's the deal with Lamar Jackson. He took the league by storm, the league figured him out to a degree. He's not got better throwing the fotoball, he is what he is. I would not sign him to a long term guaranteed deal because his ability to use his legs will only decrease over time, and he's hurt alot.
Now, this last episode is what did it for me. We know he's not happy with his contract and wants a Deshaun Watson/ Kyler Murray type guaranteed contract. What's can be his hardline stance? Just sit. We have no idea if he's really hurt or not. Supposedly he was supposed to be back a month ago, yet week by week we get this maybe, he's working hard to getting back on the field, yada, yada yada. Meanwhile the Ravens a team who was in contention in the AFC North,
I'm sorry, I can't work with someone like that. If your goal is to win and be on successful teams, be a leader, these actions go completely against that. And I know everyone points to "it's a business" etc. Lamar IS making great money. The Ravens have offered him a very good contract. He's not a top 10 QB in football, but wants to be paid like one.
You think Jim Harbaugh would want to work with a guy like that? And you don't think he and his brother talk about this?
