Interesting...you think they draft a QB 1st round next year?
Lets try that again.....

PRODUCE or PERISH......they will have to do something as Micah's team and the fan base will reach a breaking point with inept Rayne.
Man that 160 million must weigh a ton Rayne......can't buy pride or talent they say!!!!

Here's Shannon to give you some insight.
You know the same Shannon who fought tooth and nail for Dak to get his cap-killing mega deal!

I have no idea what the worst GM in the NFL is going to do.
I would.....as Rayne will continue to self-destruct.....unfortunately taking us with him!

I think the physical is leading to the mental issues. he knows he is not right. he is got bad mechanics through the throw, he is unsure of himself and he is trying to press forward through it, which is making it worse...

I think sit him for 3 weeks. let him play the last week.
I think you are right in the physical has led to the mental
I don’t think sitting him is the answer and I don’t think we win the next 3 weeks if we sit him. We might beat the giants but we couldn’t beat AZ or the WFT in a rematch without him
I think the best solution to the mental aspect is playing through it

I have been saying the exact same thing...we are up 3 games...4 games to go....rest him, get him ready for playoffs and play him in last game of the season....

Can we get a refund and go out and beg Andrew Luck to come out of retirement???? :omg:

I love watching him play but yeah i'm not sure how far the Ravens are going to go with that type of offense.
only one QB that used running as a threat made it to the superbowl....Kapernick....and he was a throw first, run second and much better passer than Jackson IMHO.

now, there have been QBs that can run, which is a plus, not a primary....they were really good passers first....Roger the Dodger, Steve Young....few more.

Nobody has figured out Lamar. He’s the same player he always was.

The problem with the Ravens is they play a 50/50 brand of football.

They are capable of beating the best team in the league and they are capable of losing to the worst. That’s just what they are.
Lamar has been making a lot of mistakes this year and has been somewhat neutralized..... that's usually what happens when you play against better defenses that can contain with the front 5,6 and drop additional players in coverage....the front 5,6 can contain the QB running lanes...Jackson has worked some miracles in the 4th to make a couple of big comebacks....but that's hard way to make a living in NFL

I agree, we might have a tough time, but I think Giants are beatble. I don't care about AZ at this point. it will be just a test measure anyway as they have a 2 game lead with 4 to go so probably we will not over take them. plus there is still GB....so we have to get ready for playoffs..... so even if we lose to WFT, they need to go 4-0 and us 0-4 for us to lose the division....going 1-3 will give us the division. I want to be playoff ready.....maybe a couple of weeks off to let heal...no reps. just PT to heal the leg

Lamar isn’t playing the same game as everyone else. I’ve watched him a lot this year because I have Andrews on my fantasy teams. He shouldn’t be judged as a standard QB.

I don't think Dak spending the next month on the sidelines, then expecting the offense to just click when the playoffs start, is a realistic plan.

There's more going on here than just Dak, the agenda-driven and people who don't understand football aside, but he's not playing well. The offense needs more work together, not less. They need to find a rhythm again, and soon. Dak has to be part of that.
great post sounds right to me

he is not a standard QB. but even in the past, I was never really that impressed with him playing in the pocket or throwing from the pocket. to me, that's the first and foremost important aspect of playing QB. everything else is secondary.

I saw Aaron Rodgers whoop our butt in December with a calf strain. This is a weak excuse for a top paid quarterback.

Rodgers has elite arm talent so he doesn't need perfect footwork to throw the ball. Dak has an average arm so he 100% depends on proper footwork/mechanics.

Dak can still practice. He didn't play in 1 preseason game after missing the majority of last season but he still was excellent in the season opener against TB.
