If you’re a Ravens fan who’s even semi-active on social media, then you’ve seen the jokes and the snide remarks from Lamar Jackson’s doubters. “He can’t throw,” “He’s a running back,” and so on.
While it can get borderline infuriating, refrains like that exist for a reason, which is they’re likely rooted in some truth. Whether Ravens fans like it or not, Jackson does have a lot of room to grow as a passer, and did rely on his legs a good bit as a rookie in 2018.
Here’s where some of those haters are off base though: Lamar does need to improve as a passer and by all accounts looks to be very much focused on doing so, but that doesn’t mean he has to stop cutting it loose in the running game.
