So you're saying Ingram then was the reason the Ravens did so well not Lamar Jackson running around ? It was Lamar ,Ingram was a second thought


LOL, so now you are moving the goalposts once you realized you didn't actually look at Mark Ingram's numbers.

Ingram was definitely NOT the focus of that offense, but again he averaged 5 yards a carry and scored FIFTEEN times. he managed 'just' over 1000 yards on only 200 carries. he was very efficient, just like he has been his whole career.

You only looked at the total rushing yards and thought he was slowing down. Just admit your mistake and move on. Hold the L bro

He was not a factor or the difference In any game , and his record against playoff teams was 1-6 . Most of his yards were in futile comeback attempts ,or against cupcakes in the worst division in football . His accuracy is terrible .
Find a better QB on the street right now, and I will be all for signing him.

How's is it typical for a running back that gets paid .When he doesn't honor his contract and all he did was run around get fat hanging out in Cabo getting drunk. Pollard was here for training camp Elliott wasn't you should give the job to Pollard in spite of Elliott

You know for a fact he was just down there getting drunk, you lose credibility for the alone. As for contracts and such, it is the way of life. As life is not fair. Why do so many fans get butt hurt over things they can't control.

Because who's next to not want to honor the contract I think you don't make exceptions cuz he's was a great Runner he's not going to be that great runner in three years he,ll be average and we're taking the cap hit for having the most expensive running back when a guy like Tony Pollard could do the same job for half the money easily

Look at Zeke's contract, it has been posted on here several times, after 3 more years, Zeke can be released with minimal impact on the cap.

And Pollard looks really good, but has not really shown he can carry the load, not yet. He can't get those tough 1 yard critical 1st downs like Zeke can.

So kind of like Jason Witten should still be here right? Besides being 38 years old because he can get that one yard catch versus likely Jarwin because Jarwin was sitting on the bench not getting the chance like Pollard has too also

How in the heck you come up with this from my post. No, Witten should not be here, Jarwin needs to be the TE. But this no way relates to Pollard should be the RB over Zeke. This is a very bad analogy. It proves nothing.

Should've let Zeke walk. Would've given major cap relief and likely would've gotten a 1st or 2nd in compensation.

There's a shade difference between pros and guys that are out of the league Elliott just because he has a name he gets to be the chosen one Lot of people it happens all the time some draft pick versus a udfa The organization always picks the pick for the starting spot the organization to save face to keep their jobs .Rarely the UDFA gets the nod

That is a load of horse manure. Jackson just isn't good enough. There isn't a shade of difference. Jackson is nowhere near as good as Pollard or Elliott.

The only way to let him walk would have been to cut him. And if you mean the end of his deal, this year would’ve been the last year of his rookie contract since his 5th year option was picked up.

I'm just not on board with handing so much cash to Zeke, hopefully he's gone after they finish the more expensive portion of his contract.

"regressing"?? The team's performance regressed last year, but Dak's performance did not.
Dak absolutely regressed and was a non factor anytime the team faced quality opponents . 1-6 against playoff teams , only beating the eagles at home early on when the running game was going well . Dak has tremendous deficiencies that no one focused on in the zeal to get jason out . You watch Dak next season , now without Fredrick . I hope they McCarty can mitigate this .
