Team game.
Sure, you want your QB to raise others up.
But Yanda wasn't replaced. Lost Stanley. Has 2 Rookie WR's, 2 Second Year WR's... lost Boyle. Ingram regressed.
Offense around him has questions.
Shown that he can play at a very high level, this year doesn't change it. Plus he's a legitimate leader, and works hard.
Personally, I've always only ever really wanted Jackson for his first contract... but there is nothing that happens in these games which could shake me from believing he isn't the QB for the remainder of his contract, and I do expect he'll land the extension.
I don't disagree with your position. It is a team game and the Ravens have been hit hard with Yanda's retirement, injuries, and a Covid outbreak.
Like it or not, the QB ( especially one as dynamic as Lamar) is going to be under the microscope. I like Lamar and I hope he gets a long term deal here, however, the questions that Preston presents in the article are fair.
Interestingly, Lamar is on a similar position as Joe Flacco during the Super Bowl run. With the exception that Joe was a pending FA. I'd love to see Lamar take over the remaining games and make a boatload of money.
