They did the smartest thing possible…never pay for a qb to maybe be a contender…then he dropped an all-time postseason line and they had to pay him.

They knew. Worst you do is pay a guy who can’t contend… Dax / Carr / cousins… but he delivered.

A thank you gift, if you will -- nm - rollo Feb 5, 11:53 7
- I understand both sides here…Lamar is an mvp guy…one of the 2-3 most dynamic winners in the game but hes - Will Hunting Feb 5, 11:59 6
  - great. what's the answer to letting him leave? another 5-10 years of getting the shit kicked out of you by Joe Burrow and even mediocre Steelers/Brown -- nm - hollywood big shot Feb 5, 12:07 5
    - First, stop buying into the line that the Bengals are a much better team than the Ravens. - the wrong element Feb 5, 15:20
    - You find another QB, preferably a young one who doesn’t hamstring your cap. The Ravens are better at scouting than anyone else in football. -- nm - The Allfather Feb 5, 12:17 3
      - if it were that easy every team would have one -- nm - hollywood big shot Feb 5, 12:19 2
        
        Every team doesn't scout like Eric DeCosta. Remember that Lamar Jackson doesn't go in the first if not for the Ravens. -- nm - David Feb 5, 12:23 1
        
        There is unfortunately one place they really need to improve their scouting. - the wrong element Feb 5, 15:28
