It’s interesting to watch the debates on Twitter that take place between Ravens fans who support Joe Flacco and those who support Lamar Jackson. The fans firmly entrenched in the Flacco camp will point out Jackson’s flaws – his accuracy issues, struggles with ball security and the potential for injury given his affinity to run the football.
All criticisms are legit.
Those in Jackson’s camp will point out that Flacco has been mediocre for a measurable amount of time – since Super Bowl 47 in fact; that he predetermines where he’s going with the football based upon the defense’s initial look, and that the Ravens struggle to run the football with Flacco under center.
