The Lamar Jackson project isn’t working for the Baltimore Ravens. Don’t mistake that for a dig at Jackson, who has the potential to be a great quarterback in the future. Jackson has done a fantastic job being a gimmick in the offense. He’s not being used as a quarterback, but as an insertion into the offense that creates hesitation for opposing defenses. Despite this frustrating fact, Jackson and Flacco have handled it without much of a hitch.
The problem is that putting Jackson into the game is depriving the offense rhythm. The Ravens had a possession against the Browns that could have come away with points.
