Pros: Lamar Jackson is a cheat code against bad teams. I don’t know if he is ever going to be a franchise QB in the stereotypical sense, but if you have an unathletic defense then he is just going to scramble and try to hit an open receiver or he is going to run against your linebackers.
Focusing on Jackson only to have to deal with a pop pass to Mark Andrews or a hard inside run from Mark Ingram is a great offense even if it is a little simplistic.
Cons: Defensively, I think the Ravens could use more of a pass rush and while their front is really good at stopping the run they don’t have that extra gear to really make life a nightmare for the quarterback.
This isn’t really that big of a negative, but I really wanted to see Hollywood Brown stay healthy this year and the fact that he is already missing games is scare because that was his one big knock coming out of college.
If the Ravens ever have to face a defense like the Buffalo Bills or Tennessee Titans that is athletic enough to limit him, their outlook gets dark quickly.
