Re: Evidence Suggests That Lamar Jackson Will be Better in 2019
Joe was at an age where he's no longer going to improve. A good chunk of his prime was robbed by the knee injury and the later back injury; not anyone's fault, but it is what it is.
It's kind of amazing how seamlessly the team "switched horses midstream". Night and day difference in 3-to-5-year-outlook in just 15 mos. Remarkable.

Re: Evidence Suggests That Lamar Jackson Will be Better in 2019
And just 22! Insanely talented, and just 22. We went from having a starting QB nearing the end of his career on a massive contract; to an insanely talented 22yo on a rookie contract. Huge change in context.
Whether Lamar "succeeds" or not (everyone knows where I stand on that); the change itself is a huge win for the organization. Big shot in the arm in terms of excitement; for sure a ticket out of the middle-of-the-pack.

Re: Evidence Suggests That Lamar Jackson Will be Better in 2019
Right. You can see how. 3rd-&-5 or so should be a nightmare for defenses. Send the receivers deep: if the D doesn't cover them, then an easy throw for a first. If the D does cover them, Lamar easily trots OOB for the first. Even without making big plays, we should be able to dink & dunk opponents to death.

Re: Evidence Suggests That Lamar Jackson Will be Better in 2019
We really got to sure up the middle of the OL because that's the issue. If teams can blitz up the middle, that can hinder what Lamar can do. So, I'm hoping honestly for a Powers/Bozeman/Yanda interior. Both Powers and Bozeman have lots of experience blocking for a mobile QB, and Yanda is a HOF.

Re: Evidence Suggests That Lamar Jackson Will be Better in 2019
I completely agree and hope that turns out to be the starting group.
Having 2 Oklahoma linemen and Bozeman, the center from Alabama, next to Yanda and having Stanley anchor the left side...and still having Hurst, Lewis, and Eleumenor in the wings...pretty solid.
I just think Powers, Bozeman, and Yanda have the same mentality and are cut from the same cloth.
They like to hit to the whistle and want to beat you into submission. What a potentially brutal interior.“They gonna get a Super Bowl outta me. Believe that…Believe that”, Lamar, after being drafted by the Ravens.

Re: Evidence Suggests That Lamar Jackson Will be Better in 2019
Last year stepped in, took over a 3-5 team as a rookie, picked up an offense on the fly, and won 6 out of 7. He was easily, the biggest threat on our offense. This year, there are weapons around him. He doesn't have to do it all. I think this offense can be insanely good. The key to me is Hollywood Brown. We need to work the ball to him. Design quick, easy plays for him to help build chemistry and confidence. And of course utilize him over the top.
