Re: Don't Start Lamar Under This Regime
Short of him sitting the whole season I agree that coming in after the bye is ideal in terms of his ability to get coached up and get acclimated to NFL game speed.
Cmon man, you still in that training camp mindset that he's not even close to being an NFL QB which IMHO was absurd then and even more so three months later. Your last sentence says it all, we can win more games with Lamar at this point than Joe, I mean that remains to be seen, but given what Joe's given us for 5+ years it doesn't take that much imagination to consider that that is precisely the upside that even as a rooke, LJ offers the team...improving your chance to win games. Given the injuries along the line, and Marvin's dominance of Joe even in his best years, and of course Joe's bad hip...starting Lamar should be a no-brainer but we'll just have to see what Coach Harbaugh decides to do come 1 pm Sunday."Did Ed Reed get the respect that he deserves? No he did not...Am I gonna get it? Probably won't. Hopefully he do. If I don't, then, hey, man, I'm alright with me." - Ed Reed

Re: Don't Start Lamar Under This Regime
He needs a complete mechanics rebuild, he throws the ball flat-footed far too often and his throwing motion is very inconsistent. His lower body is too uninvolved, he makes up for it because he does have very good arm strength, but he will never be accurate without completely overhauling his mechanics. Vick was the same way coming into the league and never progressed, which made him the player he was: a runner who could throw the ball sometimes, but not a true passer.
Lamar Jackson is more advanced than Vick was as a passer coming into the league, but he needs a lot more work.

Re: Don't Start Lamar Under This Regime
It's going to be hard not to play Lamar Hater given how many Flacco Haters are on his bandwagon.
Interesting that excuses are coming out even before he's started a game.

Re: Don't Start Lamar Under This Regime
Lamar's stance was too narrow at times affecting his accuracy and power. Carson Wentz had similar mechanics issues and fixed them in his rookie season while playing. Flacco still has footwork issues. Some fix it, some don't.

Re: Don't Start Lamar Under This Regime
Why's it gotta be either/or? Why can't we just root for the starting QB to get us a W come Sunday, even if that's Griffin? I mean damn. I love Jackson's potential but I equally love what Joe has meant to this franchise and what he's done for us in his first six years. In a perfect world he's our QB through 2019 but that doesn't look good right now. I also love Griffin's role on this team even though so many still can't figure out his value...but that's on those fans, not on the Ravens to explain. Most importantly, just stop hatin' and just accept all our QBs have flaws and Jackson has the highest upside CLEARLY. Surely we'd agree on that?

Re: Don't Start Lamar Under This Regime
I'll add to your list - the team we are playing against is "perfect for Lamar" as well.
While Marvin's zone D has confounded Joe for years, they are on pace to be a historically bad defense this year, surrendering yards at an unprecedented level.
