membengal Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 On 5/25/2022 at 2:06 PM, membengal said: Florio training his sights on another team for a change... Quote The Ravens have a unique and largely unprecedented problem. And they have no idea how to solve it. Quarterback Lamar Jackson’s long-term status with the team remains a mystery. He won’t engage the team on a contract, even though the team is ready to give him a major new deal. He insists that he doesn’t want to leave, but he’s not acting like he wants to stay. Four weeks ago, he complained on social media about the team’s decision to trade receiver Hollywood Brown, even though Jackson knew Brown wanted out. Now, Jackson is skipping OTAs. The Ravens are downplaying it, because they have no choice. They’ll downplay everything Jackson does or doesn’t do — until they become sufficiently exasperated with Jackson to move on from him. Here’s the simple reality. Even though the offseason program is not mandatory, OTAs are football practices that allow teams to install much of their offensive and defensive playbooks for the coming season. There’s value in having key players there, especially the quarterback. Indeed, if the team’s assessment of Jackson’s contract posture is accurate, it’s all the more reason for Jackson to attend. “The kid is so obsessed with winning a Super Bowl, that I think deep down, he doesn’t think he’s worthy,” owner Steve Bisciotti said in March. “I think he wants that to say, ‘Now, I deserve to be on top.'” Fine. But to get to the top, he needs to climb. The climb happens now, during OTAs. If Jackson hopes to have a special season, the foundation for special is being laid now. From 2018 through 2021, Jackson attended the OTAs. So why skip them now? It’s all part of a mystery that the Ravens don’t want or need. And it underscores the existence of very real questions about whether any given year will be his last year with the team. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...inues-to-grow/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|BlackJesus| Posted May 27, 2022 Report Share Posted May 27, 2022 2 hours ago, membengal said: Lamar Jackson Very risky for a team to drop 300+ million on a glorified WR - who yes can throw (he has unique wrist flick ability and good arm strength, but low accuracy and touch), however he's also only running a simplistic high school offense. The Lamar gimmick worked at first as NFL players had not seen that kind of offense since most of them played on Friday nights. But now that riddle has mostly been cracked and Lamar hasn't added the ability to read defenses to find his 2nd or 3rd option. Yes, he's a transcendent athletic talent (could return punts if needed), but QB is not a position centered on physical agility. Plus his thin angular frame will not hold up to the hits an option QB usually has to take. I could see Baltimore moving on actually and blaming him for not wanting to do a deal. But really he would be doing them a favor. For my part, I hope he signs a long term deal and they go into cap hell on a one trick pony that has been figured out.

membengal Posted May 27, 2022 Report Share Posted May 27, 2022 The weird part is, fwiw, the Ravens don't want to let him go from all appearances. What is weird is that LJ won't even negotiate with them (and has no agent), AND that he is now not showing up to OTAs (where I am 99.9% sure the Ravens are trying to return to an offense centered on TEs and running game) where important installs are happening - well, like I said, weird. I can tell you that locally here in Baltimore observers are puzzled. Hell, the Ravens are puzzled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insert any player into the role, and the same advice applies to engaging the blathering squawking media: don't make eye contact...just walk away...don't talk directly.

|BlackJesus| Posted May 28, 2022 Report Share Posted May 28, 2022 I see that Lamar Jackson has entered the "referring to myself in third person on twitter" stage of his slow motion public meltdown. He's about 3 weeks away from a late night DUI dashcam video, where he tells the officer "You straight tripping right now pulling Lamar over, do you know who da fuck I am bra?" ...
