With Joe Flacco seemingly gone from Baltimore and headed to join the Denver Broncos, the Baltimore Ravens are facing uncertainty at a surprisingly important position for the team: backup quarterback.

Lamar Jackson needs a proper mentor if he wants to progress into a high-level NFL quarterback. Jackson’s athleticism isn’t enough to turn him into an Pro Bowler. No, what Jackson needs is a wise quarterback who’s been there and done that before.
