I don't know what to tell you. Teams are figuring out the Lamar Jackson playbook. Eliminate the big QB run plays and they are just average on offense. The overall record is a team record. Last year they had one of the league's best rushing attacks with Jackson and 2 other RBs getting big gains based on the option rpo game. The defense has also been very good over two seasons.

Not trying to say he's a scrub or anything but I can easily see Jackson being an afterthought in a few seasons if he doesn't improve his skills within the pocket. I've been largely unimpressed so far this season really.

And to mention the missing an all pro LT and HOF G... well we don't have those here, so let's not pretend like he'd be lighting it up for Jax necessarily. Would he be an improvement over a couple of 6th round draft picks? Probably... would we be instant contenders? Doubtful.
