How can your scout even ask Lamar Jackson to play receiver?

if he was the complete package Beakshits would have dumped Flacco in the off season and traded up in 1st to make sure they got Jackson. Fact is Balt WAS practicing Jackson at WR and other uses all spring and training camp- and he only got a chance at QB when Flacco got hurt. The Steelers had a guy like this years ago they called Slash, and he turned out pretty good but wasn't forced to be a real starting QB before his time. The fact LJ had a strong defense to lean on and Harbaugh was on the hot seat early no doubt figured into the equation to chance starting him. They were lucky it worked and gave the team a spark it needed to go on a run and save Harbaugh's job. By comparison, Reid sat Mahomes behind Alex Smith his rookie season until the last meaningless game- and LJ aint no Mahomes at this point.

Still not too late to try out for WR....

Troll says...what?

Buuuurnnnnn. I hate trolls. Come in trying to make trouble vs real conversation.

jackson was shut down on the ground as was their offensive run game. We let up in the 4th and should have kept the pressure on. Jackson did ok passing but definitely isnt a good passer yet.

Jackson is a one trick pony; Gus Bradley designing the 3 safety scheme was crucial. Good thing we have a plethora of good safeties.

Which is probably why Jenkins started last week over King. Get some experience

Seems like he could play RB or backup QB in garbage time.

I know one thing, i wont draft any Ravens WRs in fantasy football just like i wouldnt draft any WRs that had Vick as a QB.

If he were in the coming draft he would be the #2 QB drafted. Thats how bad this class is. Broncos fans think Lamar cant throw either but love the guy from Duke and Lock who also arent great passers and wont be in the NFL lol.
