Jackson may be "what makes the Ravens offense work," but what's that accomplished? A bunch of wild card and divisional round exits - what, one playoff win ever, against a shitty Titans team, and then getting completely shut down against the first good team they faced.
So what if he accounts for like 2,800 yards passing and 900 yards rushing in a season? Good QBs get more than that just passing. And now you've built your whole offense around that. You know another quarterback who ran for a lot of yards and was really exciting and got paid a lot of money, but made a lot of wild throws and bad mistakes too? Mike Vick, and he didn't win shit either.
Anyway, what do I care, it's the Ravens. Pay him the big money, go ahead and fuck up your franchise. You're not going to be adding weapons when you're paying Jackson $40 million a year or whatever bullshit number he came up with. If you were going to win anything, your window was more like last year and this year, now you blew it and it passed you by. Go suck on that for a few seasons.
