New look Joe Flacco could be changing the Ravens plans

At this point last year, Joe Flacco had 1,189 passing yards. He had thrown eight interceptions and just five touchdowns. Flacco had a game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in which he threw for 28 yards. He failed to reach 200 passing yards in all but two games as the Ravens reached a 3-4 record.

At the end of the season the Ravens thought they needed a quarterback of the future. They weren’t ready to end the Flacco era just yet (though contractually it wasn’t really a choice) but they knew they needed an escape route. The drafting of Lamar Jackson was incredibly justified by the Ravens.
