From the moment the Baltimore Ravens selected Lamar Jackson in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft, fans knew that eventually this season we would face a quarterback controversy. It seemed completely inevitable, no matter what happened. The media fed into it, as everyone was head-over-heels for Jackson’s athleticism, and fans have clamored for a new quarterback for quite sometime.
Then the season started, and Joe Flacco looked like a new quarterback. Although mistakes were bound to happen, Flacco nonetheless looked dedicated and confident in his play. The new weapons brought in and established chemistry with his Offensive Coordinator have obviously played a factor in this, but Flacco entirely looked like a remade man.
