Baltimore Ravens’ Bold Prediction – Lamar Jackson Sets Career Highs In Passing Categories

Now that his huge contract is signed, Lamar Jackson can focus on helping the Ravens pursue their third Super Bowl trophy. Injuries accumulated late in the past two years have forced Jackson to miss time down the stretch, costing Baltimore a chance to make deep postseason runs.

That should change this season as the Ravens have finally given him a supporting cast that will bring out the best in Jackson’s throwing ability. Odell Beckham Jr can be a game-breaking receiver when healthy and rookie Zay Flowers is a good fit for the Ravens in the slot, adding two huge targets for Jackson to look towards.

Adding those two to returners Rashod Bateman and Mark Andrews gives Jackson his most talented group of pass-catchers ever. The confidence Jackson will build in that group should allow him to make better use of his passing ability, which doesn’t get enough respect, while using his game-breaking speed for occasions where plays break down instead of the primary read on offense.

A pass-first Jackson is one who should be able to stay healthy for the majority of the season, giving Baltimore an excellent chance to challenge Cincinnati in the AFC North. Jackson will also have a chip on his shoulder after multiple teams with quarterback needs opted not to pursue him in free agency, giving the Ravens a highly-motivated former MVP.
