Lamar Jackson turns down Ravens lastest offer

[USArmyVet]

If Baltimore is smart they apply the franchise tag next season and then trade him for the best package of draft picks/players that they can fetch as Jackson is overrated and will not take the Ravens anywhere other than the bank.

They would be smart to not pay a college gimmick Qb franchise money like someone we know did.

Not a twist just facts, it sucked then and now not so much

And if they had signed him a year earlier how much could they have saved? So praising them for being at least a year late is bogus.

Jackson is RG3 without the serious leg injuries that hobbled him.
In the pocket he is just above average if that.

Danny White stat, nice.

Lamar Jackson has been in the league for 4 years now and he had 1 legitimate good passing year (2019) which saw him throw for 36 TD's 6 INT's 3,127 Yards with a 66.1% Comp % and QBR of 83.

His other 3 seasons Jackson has thrown for 48 TD's 25 INT's 6,840 Yards with an average Comp % of 62.3% and average QBR of 53.53.

He is coming off the worst season of his career and he has the arrogance to demand a huge new deal?

Thanks but no thanks. Time to get what you can and move on from him.

Watson is a bum, and Jackson is worse.
The hype train continues for them though.

He will be sorry he did not sign it.

Jackson is a much better passer than RG3.....Passing wise RG3 was borderline unaccecptable

Jackson can throw the ball

36 passing TD's, 9 ints. 113 rating. 1,200 rushing yards and another 7 TD's. He definitely deserved his MVP award

One of only 2 unanimous MVPs ever from what I remember. I think Brady had the other.

Lamar is the very definition of system QB.
It's not necessarily a bad thing but he can't just walk into 32 NFL teams as a starter.
They gotta want to run the ball and play defense; restricting passing to TEs and Backs with some play action shots.
46 is crazy money and he should have taken that unless terms were bad and it was largely fake money.

Franchise was basically 30M this year. Will rise a bit for sure so maybe more like 35M.

Lamar is going to take a lot of hits between now and then and should lock in his cash as he isn't Dak, he is essentially a running back and wear and tear robs those guys of explosion fast.

Does anyone know what the "rumored" offer was? I'm not breaking the bank for Jackson myself but it'd be interesting to see what he turned down.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Huge mistake......from what I've read/heard, their offer is the same as Watson's deal money-wise. The word is, that Jackson wants a total guarantee contract also.

this is a Cowboys forum? Why is this allowed to be posted here?

You can say what you want about what he has done since, but that year he definitely deserved MVP

 

[dfense]

He's going to love playing for the Commanders.

He was phenomenal in 2019 for sure.
He'd create first downs and yardage on his own then throw TD passes once in the red zone.
But last year was arguably his worst as a pro. 16 TD passes 13 INT does not cut it in this era of football.

 

[jwitten82]

yeah the QBs of Ravens and Browns are hyped but not the Cowboys QB


still waiting for the first good post from you

You'll be waiting a while playboi

You know he was mvp of the NFL??? Not bad for a "college gimmick qb"

That was more a case of no one else standing out that year. At least to those voting.

Mark Rypien was the NFL MP once too. Think on that.

LIke I said so was Mark Rypien. One great year and then buptkus.

Ok. I was talking about him deserving it in 2019. Im not talking about what he has done after. You must have completely miss my point
