Who's here January 2020 like 14-2 season?

[ryanmerani]

When your watching this a year later and the ravens finished the season 14-2 Lamar is the MVP and they are super bowl favorites 😀

[bonniecullom]

January 3, How do you all judge Coach Harbaugh, Lamar and the Ravens NOW ❓❓❓❗️❗️❗️❗️GO RAVENS‼️‼️ 😂😂💯💯💜💜💜💜🏈

[DarkmanXXL]

The Ravens just beat Pittsburgh WITHOUT LJ in the driver’s seat, AND with RG III. How’s that crow tasting?😂😂

[williejohnson]

If the Ravens won a SB with Dilfert they can damn sure win one with Lamar.

Sure lamar had a bad playoff game but he was a rookie i dont know why everyone holds him to a different standard, he led his team to the playoffs and performed better than most rookie qbs with the exception of baker. Let him get a year to develop as a passer before hating on him for no real reason😂

I'm a Ravens fan worry about your own coach....we are good over here dog

[WillErickson-]

No disrespect to Max, but Will bring out the best in Stephen A. Each and every time

Lamar was like 12 total touchdowns to 4 interceptions and his completion percentage was the 2nd best among the rookies even though he was threw in half way thru the season, give him some better receivers & the ravens are dangerous

[silkyjohnson]

Harbaugh is without a doubt a top 10 coach in the league.Probably just outside top 5.Why wouldn't they give him 4 years?He still has the support of the players.

[warrenward]

The ravens season this year convinced me of one thing, that their recent string of hard luck cant possibly be on harbaugh.

He took an undrafted free agent RB in gus Edwards and a rookie QB that frankly, wasnt ready to play at the NFL level, and designed a game plan that played to their strengths and hid their weaknesses.

The ravens werent outplaying the teams they beat in route to the playoffs, they out schemed them.

They beat teams with play design rather than the skill of the players running the design.

In the NFL its only a matter of time before that kind of success meets its expiration date, and its simply unfortunate that the team we played in the wildcard had experience against it.

And despite that, harbaugh didn't throw in the towel and pull jackson in the second half, in all honesty, flacco probably wouldve won that chargers game, but the ravens werent making the super bowl this year, regardless of the QB behind center. So I like that harbaugh kept Lamar in. Because it was good for Lamars confidence, it showed him that the organization has faith in him to develop, despite the fact that most of our stupid fucking fanbase can't understand that and started chanting for flacco. Ill trade a single win in the playoffs of a year of modest expectations of simply making the playoffs again. For the chance of developing the best dual threat QB since Steve mcnair. And after watching the way he handled it this year. Theres no other coach I trust with that mission more than john harbaugh

4:55 Lamar Jackson went toe to toe with Mahomes and almost beat him. It took Mahomes closing his eyes and throwing a lucky pass for him to win.

[Ninjachickenfingers]

If Harbaugh wins a super bowl with Fluko AND Lamar, he’s in the HoF immediately.

[rhideflory]

WTF is Stephen A talking about ? They won the division after switching to a raw quarterback mid-season. The goal was to make the playoffs and rally this team after back to back season ending gaffes that eliminated them from playoff contention . THAT'S why he got the extension and deservedly so.

[iam_ad]

Lamar can throw if he just improve and get bigger and stronger I think the ravens can win a Super Bowl

[JamesGreenharmcityhangout]

Ummm.im pretty sure yall didnt believe Mahommes was gonna have the seasonnhes had...that style of play is super bowl caliber..football is changing..all lamar has to do is work on consistency this off season which im sure hes gonna do..hes gonna work out with receivers like joe didnt during thr offseason..youngin is a perfectionist and holds himself to the highest standards

[joeyrojas]

Lamar Jackson up for mvp and probably the favorite team in AFC

[tonyloftin]

Everybody is on Lamar's ass as if he wanted to play his first year. He went to management when he was drafted and told them he wanted to sit for a year or 2 so he could learn. So the fact that his process of playing was advanced by 1-1.5 years will be important. There is no better teacher than experience and he just experienced a whole season in 7 games. Wins, loses, and playoff atmosphere. Knowing the man's work ethic, the league just fucked up!! He is gonna be hell of earth for NFL defenses

[ruthwmson]

I wonder what they think now almost January 2020.
