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.

Joe Burrow is UNPLAYABLE

     The Cincinnati Bengals are off to a 1-3 start and Joe Burrow has not looked like the quarterback he once was. Some will say his calf injury is the reason, some will say Zac Taylor is not a good offensive coach, some will say the offensive line is BAD, and some have no idea what is going on in Cincinnati. All the Bengals have taken a step back and their fantasy positions are decreasing from years past. But Joe Burrow only has 2 touchdown passes through 4 games, and those 2 both came against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2. Joe Burrow is the QB31 in fantasy football, only in front of Bryce Young for starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Baker Mayfield, Joshua Dobbs, and Zach Wilson are all better fantasy quarterbacks this year. Lets take a look at his weapons and compare their fantasy results this season. Starting with Ja'Marr Chase as he is WR21 who finished as WR12 in 2022 and WR5 in 2021. Tee Higgins is WR50 who finished as WR18 in 2022 and WR24 in 2021. Tyler Boyd is also WR64 an

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 clearly won the Panthe
