I do absolutely agree that the ravens need to develop the passing aspect of their offense but what we saw this year was Lamar as a great pocket passer for the most part and they are retaining their super smart OC. 

Also his performance under pressure is solely passes under pressure, not his runs. And the vast majority of his passes came from inside the pocket, I think all of his TDs actually came from inside the pocket too. 

The difference in the wildcat and Lamar is that Lamar has given a near unprecedented level of passing efficiency at age 22 and it led to an MVP. The wildcat was nothing more than a schematic fad

Not to diminish Lamar and his year in any way, it is worth noting that he had good passing numbers because of the run threat he poses.  It gives him bigger passing lanes and provides more favorable coverage for his receivers.  I think this game he just had is not an outlier unless he progresses as a pocket passer this off-season.
