It was announced Wednesday that the Baltimore Ravens intend to have rookie quarterback Lamar Jackson continue starting at quarterback for the team. This news comes despite the fact that Joe Flacco will be returning to the line-up, after being on the mend since week 10 with a hip injury.
For some, this comes as relieving news while for others it is infuriating. Regardless of which side of the Jackson-vs-Flacco debate you are on, it’s important to realize that the Ravens front office is focused on the future of their franchise. It makes the most logical sense that the team would roll with the young quarterback while he’s comfortable.
