The most popular player in many NFL towns is the backup quarterback. And given the struggles of Lamar Jackson prior to his ankle injury coupled with the success that Tyler Huntley has enjoyed in Lamar’s absence, suddenly, Baltimore is no exception. Is a quarterback controversy brewing?
Jackson’s struggles are hard to pinpoint because there are several contributing factors. The running game isn’t as productive; the offensive line in pass pro has been a sieve; route combinations are too often poorly designed – not only do they sometimes fail to spread the field, they shockingly bring receivers together, failing to stress defenses.
