Teams Should Pick Up Lamar Jackson

-

 


    The NFL offseason is finally among us and leads the fans to many questions around the NFL. The biggest storylines come out with free agency, draft, and players asking for trades. But the biggest storyline this season has to be Lamar Jackson and the non-exclusive franchise tag. Deshaun Watson had teams ready to give him a fully guaranteed contract and trading multiples picks for him when teams knew he was going to get suspended. Russell Wilson had teams willing to do the exact same thing but teams cautious about his age and when he was going to decline. Lamar Jackson is 26 years old and a former MVP. Teams have said they do not want to have talks with Jackson because the Ravens will match the offer. Teams do not want to do all this work for Jackson, just for the Ravens to use them to get a contract done with Jackson. That makes sense but teams need a quarterback. 

    There are multiple teams in the NFL that need a QB like Lamar Jackson to take them where they want to go. Having a good QB is the most valuable thing you can have across all sports. The New York Jets realize that and are pursing former MVP, Aaron Rodgers. The Commanders, Giants, Panthers, Falcons, Buccaneers, and Lions should all pick up their cell phones right now and having a plane fly to Baltimore tomorrow. 

    The NFC South makes the most sense due to the lack of experience from the quarterback position. The four quarterbacks consist of Kyle Trask, Derek Carr, Matt Corral, and Desmond Ridder. Carr is the only quarterback out of the bunch that has started an entire season. DJ Moore, Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, or Drake London will be the best wide receiver he has ever played with. Just sit back and think about that one. 

    The Lions are my favorite option due to the openness of the NFC North. Jackson is worth first round picks and the Lions have multiple firsts along with tons of picks throughout the draft. Aaron Rodgers is leaving the Packers and who knows if Jordan Love can fill those shoes. The Vikings are cutting everyone this offseason while listing to offers on Dalvin Cook. The Bears are in the middle of a rebuild with the number one overall pick attached to their name. The Lions are favorited to win this division without have their quarterback of the future. The Lions are a young team but with Jackson they could go places farther than expected.

The Lakers Need A New Point Guard

-

       The Lakers are 0-2 and have one of the best players of all time on their roster. When healthy Anthony Davis is a top 10 player in the NBA, but man does he love wearing a suit on the bench. Or as Charles Barkley would say Anthony "Street Clothes" Davis. This team does not look together and does not look like they practice shooting in practice. I think its time to call the 6'0 point guard out of North Central College to come help the purple and yellow to bring back the Showtime Lakers.      The Lakers need a point guard, BADLY.  Russell Westbrook, Patrick Beverley and Kendrick Nunn shot 1-25 from the field COMBINED. Westbrook is constantly being left open and he thinks it's a bad rotation so he shoots. But defenses leave him open on purpose but he still shoots. I wish I had that much confidence in life as Westbrook open in the corner. Westbrook shot 0-11 from the field, I know I could make at least one. I like to think I'm more...

Bears Big Decision: Justin Fields or Caleb Williams?

       The Bears have one of the most interesting off season decisions to make with either Justin Fields or Caleb Williams. If you were to ask any Bears fan, the fan base is split 50/50 and understandably so. Justin Fields has looked like a different quarterback since coming back from injury and also has 3 games left to prove. The Bears are also still in the playoff picture as well to make a run but seems very unlikely at this point. Lets get into the argument for both sides then I will get into my opinion. Justin Fields : I think the flash has been there the last couple of games and we saw the same thing from Fields to end the year. Also adding DJ Moore was huge for Fields as he finally got a WR1. The Bears have 2 top 5 picks and could focus on building around Fields through the draft. The Bears could do a couple things with the first pick and the most popular would be trading down. With trading down, it would be 2-3 first round picks and also players. The Bears cle...

2024 NFL Draft Report

      The first round of the NFL draft is in the books and it is time for the draft report of the first 32 picks. I have done this in the past for the NBA draft but now time for the NFL draft. This draft consisted of offensive players which led to defensive guys falling. Saw some splashes and 5 quarterbacks in the top 10.  The first 14 picks were offensive players. Let's get in the reaction.  1. Chicago Bears - Caleb Williams - QB - USC The pick everyone knew for months, the Bears finally have their quarterback. One of the best prospects to come out since Andrew Luck. Chicago is filled with joy as Williams has the chance to become the first Bears quarterback EVER to throw for 4,000 yards. Jordan, Payton, Thomas, Banks, Kane, Pippen, Toews, Sayers, Sosa, Hull, Urlacher, Rose, and now Williams.   2. Washington Commanders - Jayden Daniels - QB - LSU Feels like 2012 again in Washington DC. The Dan Quinn era starts off with a bang in snagging their quarterb...
