Can the Raven fan base handle the drafting of Lamar Jackson?
Gotta keep it 100 and trill for the masses. Joe Flacco time in Baltimore has run its course. He’s well into his 30s and he is a shell of the himself. Now is the time to get his replacement.
Steve Biscotti is between a rock and a hard place. The NFL is a business first and foremost, so you have to protect your brand. People always say make the best football decision, but at the end of the day this is a business and you can’t tick off your customers.
But what if a large percentage of your fan base would be opposed to drafting Jackson, because he is diametrically opposite of Joe Flacco. After the kneeling and Kapernick debacle, do they have the balls to get the best qb available.
LJ is no EJ Manuel, he’s not articulate and he’s unpolished. He doesn’t project as a CEO type, and he is a product of the urban culture. But he’s accounted for 120 touchdowns and has the highest ceiling in the draft.
But in today’s political and social climate, he’s a lightning rod because he is a barometer of social perception, bias, and bigotry. Gonna be an interesting development if it happens!!!

With that completion percentage and the history of running qbs.... No thanks. He would be exciting to watch of course but It would be just a matter of time u til he gets hurt imo.

Filth .....why must you project social injustice and racism on every topic?? Do you not watch football? There are more than one or two successful black QBs in the league. If Ozzie and Co. thought Jackson was the right QB for the Ravens after this year....they’ll draft him. Fans of the Ravens will cheer him and buy his jersey.
After seeing what’s going on with Cap and the rest of the “protest” players ...I’d venture a guess that you won’t see that movement grow with the young players.
Getting paid to play a game for as long as you can is Waay more important to 99% of young players now.
As an added bonus for you ...if LJ is our starting QB...I’ll only watch to see him fail. Other than that ...not a fan.

You care more about the racial aspect than anyone else. If helps us win then awesome...I could care less if hes Hispanic as long as he knows he's playing American Football. Stop making it black and white so you can whine more
You're like our version of David Hogg, except you make less sense

If he can help the team win I say draft him.
