Lamar Jackson is coming off a tough performance where he was 4-10 and his touchdown was evened out by an inexcusable pick. The pressure on Joe Flacco has been the biggest story in training camp, however the heavy expectations for Jackson were front and center last Thursday night. Jackson didn’t look ready. He looked like a rookie, and not the kind of rookie that takes the job from the 10 year starter, but the kind that waits in the wings for a year or two.
Now that the expectations have been brought down to earth (at least a little bit) Jackson can just go out there and play football.
