Teams are literally lining up leaking to their media mouthpieces they are not interested in Jackson.

 

 

Back to BAL it is.  I can't find any other possible suitors at this point with all the teams that have said no.

The Dolphins, Falcons, Panthers, Raiders, Commanders are all reportedly out on Lamar Jackson.

Ah that tweet beat me to it... This is definitely headed towards collusion. It's a shame that Jackson doesn't have an agent because this going to become personal 

[scine09]

Or maybe it’s that no team wants to give up two first round picks for a guy with injury issues and has struggled as a passer?

An injury prone QB wants a fully guaranteed contract.  It's got to be a conspiracy against him aka collision.

I thought about this. It’s really strange how many teams have already come out and how quickly it’s happened. I get it for Miami but for teams without a QB (LV and ATL for example), there is literally nothing good that can come from that statement other than hoping to force Jackson to take something not fully guaranteed so that doesn’t become the precedent.

It's not that hard or implausible.  LV is cash poor.  WSH is about to be sold and wouldn't really want to take on a large contract like Jackson's.  MIA believes in Tua (apparently).  The other two prefer cheaper less risk averse options.  ATL would not pay whatever money for Watson last year why would they do it for Jackson?

 

It's not collusion.  That's just an easy out for people.

The fact he very openly wants a fully guaranteed long term contract and has a unique set of skills (good and bad) you have to commit to.

I’m not saying they should go for Lamar. I’m saying there is little I can think of that would benefit these teams from public ally declaring they aren’t going after Lamar.

They don't want to be used as pawn.  The ATL denial came after some "report" that the Falcons had made some traction in a trade with the Ravens for Jackson.  The Raiders issued a denial for Rodgers around a few days ago.  The same applies here.

I don't care if it was Tom Brady, a fully guaranteed contract and 2 first round picks will only be touched by a team that really thinks it's a QB away from not just competing but being super bowl favorites.

No team would ever give that for a QB whose skills depend on him running the ball to be successful.  The Ravens are again showing excellent front office skills.  A few years ago, I tried to explain to one of the tard generals that the mobile/running QB was part of the NFL's future.

 

I tried to get him to understand was the backup QB, problem.  I explained if you build your offense around a QB who runs and scrambles, you go get a backup who plays that same style.  It was impossible to explain to the idiot that you could do that.  He thought all backup QB had to be the pocket passers.

 

The Raven have rostered several backups that mirrored Jackson.  The Ravens understand football better than most franchises.  Who to pay.  Who not to pay.  They make mistakes, but Taylor Lewan would have been long gone from there.

 

Now, the Ravens still have the MVP playing on his first, probably last tag.  They can go after a new QB and aren't an Arizona.  The Ravens understand football.  A running QB has a shorter career than a pocket passer.  You pay him a lot of money, but you would be stupid to give him the same contract of a Mahomes, Allen because those guys careers can last through three, sometimes four contracts.

 

Now, the Ravens can start preparing for their next signal caller.  They'll have resources to surround the new guy with what he needs.

 

I explained this plainly, just as above.

 

A pos who couldn't understand that started following me from that day, quoting me and putting stupid shit after my posts.  Yes, I'm a boomer.  I grew up never backing down from a fight.  I didn't use the internet when I was in the 3rd grade.  I never spent my teenage time on the internet.  I really had no concept of what a troll was, definitely not the piece of shit kind on troll @oldschool is.  Not a clue.

 

If anyone wants to do one of those 'deep' searches, they will find this is all true.  If you go to any threads I have started in the last year, you will see him and the Queer fly in.  The Queer is just strange. {{farting}}

I'm not picking on you but why the hell do you need to include this in your post.  It has absolutely nothing to do with Lamar Jackson at all.

Lest we forget....when LJ became the starter, Harbaugh completely retooled the team's offensive philosophy and identity and tailored everything around his skill set.    Very few NFL coaches would ever consider making such a change.

 

Every NFL coach is convinced that his system and philosophy give his team the best chance of winning a championship;  I suspect very few have interest in a QB that would force fundamental changes to their philosophy.    Especially not a  QB who has been increasingly injury prone and whose effectiveness and production have declined steadily in the past 2-3 years.

It has to do with TR.  We have a thread going right now where @titansfan is being asked about old posts.  Hell, just a week ago I got called a VY lover.  That wasn't a problem.

 

Sometimes the truth can help people.  Sorry if it offended you.  The only people I intended to offend were the pos and the Queer.
