Ask Robert Griffin III about playing on a bad leg for the good of the team.  

Playing with a torn ACL is a bit different than playing with a sprained PCL that had already had 6 weeks to heal.  The reality is he would have played if he had signed a deal a year ago like his agent should have taken care of…oh wait.

".....multiple outlets, from ESPN to NFL Media, have now reported or speculated that Jackson could end up sitting out the 2023 season entirely. There's no current indication, even from desperately QB-needy teams, that Jackson is a viable target. Jackson, meanwhile, has gone public with a trade request from the Ravens, suggesting he's already disenfranchised with Baltimore's efforts to retain him. Assuming neither side budges, the reasoning goes that the QB could simply refuse to sign the tag, avoid penalties for holding out, and attempt to reenter the market in 2024."

Or Peter Warrick for that matter.

 

100%

 

On the other hand, Jackson's style of play contributes to these injuries.  Running as much as he does is just unsustainable as a QB.  Jackson keeps proving that each year. 

 

To me Steve Young had the best take on Lamar Jackson.  He said we really don't know if Jackson can run a sophisticated NFL offense because he's never been given the opportunity.  Young went to to criticize Baltimore for not surrounding him with the talent or giving him the options given to other QBs. 

 

All that said, not having an agent is so dumb due to all the reasons mentioned above.

Does anyone know the reason that Lamar chose not to have an agent?

 

Because his Momma is all he needs...have you never the TV show..The Game. It's about a star QB whose Mom is his agent. 

 

There are plenty of players that don't have agents, he'll Roquan Smith didn't have an agent but reset the market for LB contracts with the Ravens cutting the check.

Ancient Bengal history but Number 1 Draft pick and bust, David Verser, had an uncle as his agent.

Number 2 Bengal pick in that draft, Cris Collinsworth, of course, had an agent and made a ton more money than Verser.

Verser eventually became a Cincinnati Police Officer after busting elsewhere and returning.

Not sure if he is now or has retired.

 

Verser will go down in Bengals infamy as costing us a Super Bowl

by going in motion at the wrong time and leading the SF D right into

the place where the hole would have been for Pete Johnson to blast

into the end zone. "It was there".

If theyd run Pete in back of Munoz

theyd have scored..

Bad call imo..
