That was a really nice throw and catch there. Made up for the drop.

You're the kid on the playground whose only response was "I know you are but what am I?"

(This is the part where you call me a "loser" then pat yourself on the back, for the thousandth time.)
Come on man, relax.

Lamar Jackson leads the NFL with 30 TD passes. He's not "a running QB", he's a QB who can run.

The most Mike Vick ever had in an entire season was 21. RG3? 20. They are/were running QBs.

Some old boys can't tell the difference.

Darnold makes some ridiculous throws sometimes. He just needs to learn to take what the defense gives him at other times, too hot and cold right now.

Then again, he has Adam Gase as HC.

Vick played in a different era in his prime....

Jackson is still forcing defenses to worry about his legs, which opens up things in the passing game. He has 151 rushes this year dude, he's a runner that leads to passing.

EDIT: Oh and he has also hasn't thrown more than 25 times in a game since week 6. He's 2-2 in games this year when he has to throw more than 30 times.

How about you and @Diehardblues go start your own "Lamar Jackson won't last" thread instead of repeating yourself 30 times in any thread involving the Ravens?

Your opinions are duly noted. We got it the first 29 times.
I disagree with his thought. Jackson isn’t “ fools gold”. His talent and impact is real . Definitely MVP material.

My stance is running QB’s doesn’t have a history of sustaining power in the NFL.

Really surprised Vick's highest was 21, thought for sure he would have more with the Eagles. He had 5 or 6 TDs in one game vs the Commanders.

Vick only played 16 games one time though.

Who cares if Lamar Jackson is built to last, the guy could win a Super Bowl or two in the process.

Not every QB has to last for 15 years.
He very well could but NFL has proven it’s not sustainable over time as you’re admitting yourself.

And there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just not what I’d invest 200 million over 6 or 7 years.

The future is now for the Ravens and Jackson. At some point like all runners he’s going to get hit.

You don't draft a QB in the first to get 4 productive years out of them. You want them to be your franchise guy.

Vick was a freak athlete and big arm QB who could scramble and run. But he wasn’t a college style run first QB in NFL.
