After weeks and weeks of Lamar Jackson drama, retired quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has decided to weigh in on the 2019 MVP’s situation. These comments from Roethlisberger all circle back Jackson’s situation around the Ravens.
After recruiting Odell Beckham Jr. to Baltimore, and paying him up to $18 million in only one year, does getting the former superstar really solve Jackson’s situation? The short answer is no, absolutely not. Roethlisberger roasted Jackson’s passing skills only shortly after his former division rivals acquired Beckham.
“With Lamar, you want to bring safeties down to help stop the run cause you don’t really fear Lamar’s arm, his accuracy all the time,” Roethlisberger said, via New York Post. “Got a huge arm. He can make things happen when he scrambles or whatever, but you don’t fear him just sitting in the pocket.”
“So, you can bring safeties down cause you do fear him running because he’s a different level runner,” Roethlisberger said, via New York Post.
In this sense, Roethlisberger is completely right. No team fears Jackson for his passing. We have known it to be one of his weakest parts of his game, and now you add Beckham to make him pass more? I know the whole idea of making Jackson happy is giving him weapons, but this only causes more chaos. The more receivers you bring in, the likelihood of Jackson passing drastically increases. That just doesn’t make any sense to me and it shouldn’t to any football fan.
The Baltimore Ravens placed the non-exclusive tag on Jackson after months of negotiating. Jackson would then request a trade from the Ravens after not receiving the massive contract he had hoped for. Teams can still send in an offer sheet for the former MVP, but it will cost them two first-round picks. Alongside those two first-round picks, that team will have to unload millions of dollars in a new contract.
