The Ravens Were DUE an Amazing Offense
For years, the Ravens were held up by our defense that had 2 HOFers playing at the same time at the prime of their careers. All we asked was that guys like Boller, McNair, and Flacco not turn the ball over. Just manage the game and let the defense handle it. For years, that was our team philosophy. For a hot second in 2012, it looked like we were about to finally turn the page and develop a high-powered offense. Alas, the 2012 playoff run, despite ending in a Superbowl victory, was fools gold. Flacco just didn't materialize into the regular season player we needed him to be.
In comes Lamar Jackson. He showed flashes of a dream last season, but this is his true breakout year. We were due an amazing offense sooner or later. All these years and we've never had a QB that had a legit shot at MVP...never. We might end the season with a 12-4 record which hasn't been done since what...2011?!? We had back-to-back 12-4 seasons before winning the SB and haven't had that same level of consistency since then. This is the best our offense has looked...really ever.
The fact that Lamar is only 22 (10 years younger than me) is major. Means he'll be doing this for years before he has too much wear and tear on his ankles and knees. Sit back and enjoy the ride Ravens fans. I think we're getting at LEAST 1 SB out of Lamar within the next 2-3 seasons.

Re: The Ravens Were DUE an Amazing Offense
When you think about it, the FO and Harbs did a near complete rebuild in just one offseason. They went from an offense built around a traditional pocket passer, to the dynamic marvel we have now in just ONE offseason. Even much of the starting defense turned over from last year.
Some teams rebuild for years.

No such thing as due. You gotta go make it happen.

Re: The Ravens Were DUE an Amazing Offense
The amazing thing is that next year this offense could be even better. With Hollywood fully recovered from his surgery and Boykin a year more mature. Maybe the addition of a WR and this offense could be even more potent.
I'm thinking it possibly wouldn't be a bad idea for a new OC next year who can evolve our offense even more. Eventually the league will catch up with this style and we'll have to evolve anyways.
