Good execution by Titans  
Jimmy Googs : 1/12/2020 8:53 am : link
Jackson and his team fell behind, he tried to pass way more than they would like. He had some turnovers and Titans stretched the lead. Jackson was pressing more and more and made whata' ya know...made more mistakes.

Jackson and Ravens had a great year but the NFL Playoffs are all about one thing...

The first Ravens

drive was huge. Tenn is a lot like Baltimore they need to play with the lead. Tenn defense did a great job. If Baltimore scores on the first drive I think its a different game.

people called Eli a shitty postseason quarterback, too. Let's see what the future brings.

That said, I think a lot of the ridicule of Jackson right now comes less from his performance and more from the fact that some folks have been way over the top in praising him throughout the season (not unlike a certain poster and Cam Newton in years past). When you talk up a player to obnoxious levels, people take a disproportionate amount of joy in his failures.
When Tannehill connected on that 45 yard bomb  
BlueLou'sBack : 1/12/2020 9:12 am : link
to Khalif whatshisface, that just about broke the Ravens' backs right there. What a great call by Vrabel. Went straight for the jugular. Very Parcels like.

They'd been front runners all year, and suddenly were in a hole. They didn't respond well, but mostly that's hats off to the Titans. They are very well coached.

Shouldn’t be reading too much into a single loss in a guys second year. If Daniel Jones has an NFL MVP year next year, secures a first round bye and then takes a dump in the divisional round...how should we react?



This isn’t a single loss. Its the second loss in the playoffs for Jackson in which he’s been fucking awful. The only difference is, this year, Baltimore was a one seed.


Go back and take a look at how Eli started off his playoff career. Young QBs need to learn how to win in the postseason. Drawing conclusions about the guy based on two playoff games his first two years in the league is beyond premature.

the Raven's defense gave up two touchdowns. Then, they were behind 28-6 in the 3rd Qtr.

Does anyone think that MAY make a fucking difference in how plays are then called by the Ravens offense and the Titan's defense?

We don't even have to get into the Mark Ingram injury either.


What does matter is that the Ravens offense was bad and the QB leading it was not good. Kid has talent, but on 4th and one(a couple times) failed to pick up 1st downs doing what he still does best - run.
To me, that he was very good on balls down the middle and even deep while being terrible on sideline throws is a bit disconcerting. He is young and may/should get better, but many of his throws were just plain bad.

On a side note, his running is off the charts good. He is so fast and change of direction quick that it defies logic. It was slightly amusing watching Titans plays whiff and flail at a ghost.

That theory should always be employed vs Jackson, make him throw the ball outside. But, the defensive players must stick to it. It's tempting to chase Jackson. Play your assignment.

I'm not suggesting that LJ is a rocket scientist, just that when someone connects a lack of intellect with an abundance of athleticism, there is often an unspoken context that they are associating intelligence (or lack thereof) with stereotype.

Your son should take heart: Eli Manning was 0-2 in his first playoff appearances and Peyton Manning was 0-3. Jackson will be back. He's a brilliant talent in this league.

I think where Jackson pressed the most wasn't throwing the ball but the two 4th down plays. He botched both. And because of that, he was a huge reason why they lost.

It should read as “but these athletic QBs THAT aren’t very cerebral will struggle.” So maybe you were so quick to play the horse shit race card because “THEY aren’t very cerebral” might give someone the urge to go there, ok, you’re still awful quick to the trigger.

Wonderlic score of any QB who has won the Super Bowl since the year 2000 is Trent Dilfer with a 22, the next lowest is Big Ben with a 25. Mike Mayock a few years back on the NFL Network draft broadcast said most NFL teams want at least a score of 21 as bare minimum on the exam.

I did not see Jackson make glaring mental errors. What I saw was a bit of indecision on two 4th and 1s and poor throws to the outside. I think he saw what he should have seen but was unable to throw the ball where he wanted to. He has throwing technique problems.
I wonder at the usefulness and accuracy of the Wonderlic test when it involves black athletes. It has been proven that many standardized tests were written for what white middle/upper middle class people would think/associate. I'm not an educator but my daughter is and said that inner city and non-whites are at a disadvantage on these tests because of where they grow up and ethnic differences. I'm sure someone here can explain it better.

You do realize this board has taken a dump for the past several years on our 2-time SB MVP QB.

Do you really not think Jones is going to be Teflon if he sucks in the playoffs? This place will be Defcon5.

Regarding Jackson, the guy is in likely the best place he can be to succeed. Baltimore has built the offense and gameplan around him. But it is still a gimmicky run-heavy offense that when that running threat becomes neutralized, Jackson isn't going to beat you through the air.

The playoffs every year have strong defenses that can make a player 1-dimensional.
Jackson is still a baby in his NFL career.  
BlueLou'sBack : 1/12/2020 11:10 am : link
FMiC to categorically state "he [Jackson] won't beat you through the air is premature. Give him a few years to develop his pocket game.

I am liking his responses in the post game pressers very much, almost Eli-like.


"Got to get back to work, I have a great team around me."

Seems pretty unfazed within the big picture of the playoff loses these past 2 years. Good for him.
Fascinating stuff  
KWALL2 : 1/12/2020 11:12 am : link
They couldn’t stop the run. The 4th down calls cost them. Jackson’s RB was hurt. He lost his best receiver. They dropped a lot of passes including a walk in TD. He made some bad throws to the outside which is a weakness.

But they lost because Henry is dominating the NFL right now. That’s the story. Henry just dominated BAL and NE. Chiefs won’t be able to handle this guy.

After TEN goes to the SB and wins it. Maybe Jackson isn’t such a bum.
It's simple  
Bramton1 : 1/12/2020 11:13 am : link
Jackson needs to become a passer first, a runner second. The NFL is littered with the remains of QBs who could not make this adjustment. Defenses will adapt. Hell, the Titans D just gave everyone the blueprint for this.
...  
christian : 1/12/2020 11:14 am : link
I won't be surprised if the Ravens draft a RB high and go all in on a ground attack with multiple weapons.

Jackson has played less that 30 NFL games, he'll get better if he stays healthy. He's not a finished product. He can become a better passer.

There's a weird glee from some when he falls short, moreso than for other QBs. It's a little weird.
Christian  
KWALL2 : 1/12/2020 11:16 am : link
Thye don’t need to invest a high pick at RB. Free agent Gus edwards has averaged 5 YPC in his career with BAL.

Ravens run D could use some help. Another WR is needed. Snead and Roberts need to be upgraded.

What’s that winning % in his first 25 NFL games? Including playoffs? Best ever? If not the highest winning % for a 2nd year QB, it’s close.

How many TD did he score this year while his team had the highest scoring offense in the NFL.? One of the highest scoring offenses in the last 5 years (top 3).

Yes, some success here.

trueblueinpw : 1/12/2020 12:13 pm : link
I think a QB is evaluated on his 3rd season. There’s enough tape and scheme on LJ now for defenses to stop him. Now he needs to learn to make reads and checks and make big plays in big spots. His inability to throw outside is a concern and someone made a good point above about the difficulty catching wobbly passes. There’s much to clean up and much more to learn. He’s obviously a gifted athlete, he seems like a terrific young man and it would be dumb to write the kid off at this point.

Injury is always concern and that’s been ignored by many in the media suggesting - yet again - that a mobile athletic QB like LJ was changing the game. I don’t hold it against LJ, but it does amaze me how the NFL media is always so quick to announce these mobile QBs to be game changing.

Also, that game was planned and executed perfectly by Vrabel and his team. They had a great game plan and made great plays. That TD toss by Tannehill was a perfect throw; a great double move by the receiver and what a play call in a big game on the road! Balls of fucking brass. Vrabel and his coaches and players were terrific!

NFL in January is different. The nfl landscape is littered with athletic mvp type QBs that crumble in January. I don’t care anyone says but but these athletic QBs they aren’t very cerebral will struggle against big time defenses in January. The facts are the facts. The history is there for all to see. Jackson might win big one day. But he’s going to need to adjust and adapt. Same rule applies to deshaun watson. These QBs who drop back to pass and immediately go into fight or flight mode, and eschew true pocket play will never go far this time of year. Defenses and coaching are too good. They eat that style up for lunch. Adapt or go the way of so many before you. And eventually the regular season NFL will catch up to them too. This has been happening for decades.


Oooh, a little subtle bit of racism there from the captain of the cheerleading squad.

Athletic QBs are, by definition, less cerebral? I haven't seen you question Jones's brain, yet he's every bit as athletic as Watson. Curious choice of examples of athletic QBs being less cerebral.



Lamar Jackson rocked a 13 on the Wonderlic. It’s not a “subtle hint of racism” — he’s just fucking dumb.


You are troll and bring nothing to the table.

But it seems like they're trying to force the issue with this guy.I don't see superstar at all,and it could have been worse if Tennessee had gone after him a little more.


So this wasn't a superstar season for Lamar?The guy led the league in QBR, had 36TDs/6INTs, completed 66% of his passes, and he ran for 1200+ yards, and another 7 TDs. His MVP is going to be incidental?

And "force" what?

Lamar was forced to put the team on his back last night and similarly to his time at Louisville, he was not able to do it all himself.

I don’t agree with you all the time, but the people roasting him here forgot he had 2 perfect passer rating games this year and he’s only the second person to do that I believe.

Funny thing is the same group of people killing him right now are the same people that beat the drum of having a great running game is the key to winning in the NFL. The Ravens were the #1 running team in the league!

1 season doesn't mean he's a superstar,especially in this league.The whole offense is built around him.Kinda reminds me of what they did with Robert Griffin.You should know all about that.

But anyway,every time I watch this guy,I ask my self,"Have they never seen a running quarterback before?".I guess Tennessee finally had enough.
