 these negotiations between the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson I know nobody's tired of hearing about him right of course not but anyway as many reports and rumors and stories and this and that that we've heard a big question that has continued to be asked is who has more leverage who has the upper hand right now when it comes to these negotiations some people feel like it's the Baltimore Ravens some people feel like it's Lamar Jackson some people feel like hey I ain't nobody winning this whole thing right now but let's look at this question from my guy the one and he said everybody says Lamar has the leverage when it comes to the contract situation but I disagree him me out let's just say Lamar gets an offer sheet and the Ravens don't match it he goes to a team that is terrible and just because he's the high-paid quarterback they're going to expect instant results if a team wanted Lamar they would have came after him by now now first let's go to that first part first so if he goes to a team that is terrible just because he's the high-paid QB they're gonna expect instant results with Lamar Jackson yes they will definitely expect instant results and I think that they will get instant results but even still safe instance they didn't get into the results he won he gets paid he gets his bread he gets his money he gets a nice contract and one that he negotiated with whatever team that could be so it would obviously have to be something that he accepted and he liked and he agreed to for him to sign an offer sheet with that team so he will win based off of that alone that'll be a win for him and for the Ravens because they will get their two first round draft picks so both sides would win in that case now in the long run what would the Ravens do at the quarterback position that scares me that frightens me as a matter of fact that is very very scary yeah you have two more first round draft picks over the next two years so you get an additional one this year an additional one next year still be very scared cuz with Lamar anyway you don't know not know anyway you know who he is you don't know his full potential because you haven't tapped into it yet but you've seen a lot of potentially great stuff from him but now if you go the unproven route that's that's a very scary territory to be tiptoeing around so we'll see anyway he said if a team wanted Lamar they would have came after him by now hmm that part I disagree with because teams could be trying to strategize this thing to put the Ravens in a tough position there could be teams that wait until after the draft there could be teams that want him now they could be teams that don't want him now but after the draft maybe there could be teams that are waiting and be like all right Ravens are made there their draft picks and whatnot they trying to size up the team they done signed a couple people here and there and whatnot but oh we got something for them after the draft because you gotta you gotta sign your draft picks right so that's gonna be some more money taken away from the Ravens pot from their salary cap and the team could be plotting so it's tough because it's one of those things that we won't know till we truly know anyway he said Lamar is a great talent but oh yeah you know what this is going Lamar is a great talent but if I'm a franchise like most of teams that needed a quarterback they signed a cheap bridge quarterback and they will draft and develop a rookie quarterback why sign Lamar if you know your team has more needs than quarterback and getting Lamar won't guarantee you a championship so why draft the quarterback why draft the unproven guy it's the same thing right just a different pace scale we as Baltimore Ravens fans know everything that Lamar Jackson brings to the Baltimore Ravens and they still do have needs other needs on the team but we've seen Lamar Jackson while he's not the perfect quarterback we know that no I mean no quarterback is but he covers up so much for the Ravens he covers up a lot so yeah you can have other holds on your team you can have other needs on your team but Lamar Jackson he takes care of a lot of stuff for you now my hope for him whether it's with the Baltimore Ravens or it's with somebody else I really do hope I really hope that wherever he stays or goes that it doesn't just have to be all on him and not that it's all on him now with the Ravens but a lot of stuff is on him a lot and not just regular old franchise quarterbacks a lot of extra stuff that doesn't need to be on him is on him and we understand he's special we know Lamar special but try to make his job easier I mean that that should have been taken care of throughout the past couple years but anyway he said Lamar won't guarantee you a championship what quarterback will I mean I got two of them already but no quarterback guarantees you a championship they don't but anyway he said the only team that needs a quarterback and would be ready to compete for a championship right now in my opinion is the Jets but they're about to go all in for Aaron Rogers man whoever ends up being a quarterback for the Jets boy you gonna have a nice setup and they still talking about Ezekiel Elliott they still talking about Odell Beckham Jr like they been going crazy with it man they just Simon Cole harmony guy Alan Luzardo got Garrett Wilson they not done they already had a real nice defense like just been going crazy with it man so whoever ends up being a quarterback there and Rogers are not like you are set up nice still got Breeze Hall it running back to came forget about him anyway let's continue he said if I was a GM I would build my team develop my rookie QB and use all the cap money left to build my team around an inexpensive rookie QB option like we should have did deal with Lamar you know what I am so glad that you said that I am so glad you said that because I was getting ready to be like well that's what they should have done already but you said it so I appreciate that and this all goes back to just this whole situation is this it's so much frustration because so much of us have been thinking about what should have been done what could have been done what we talked about in the present time well when it was the present time back then on how the Raven should have capitalized but they didn't they didn't and now we're here then there's this standstill there's this impasse so to speak and both sides don't seem like they budging right now so we don't know how this whole thing is gonna end but you got a lot of people feeling like oh man now the Raven since they got Lamar Jackson on a franchise tag they can't make any move they can't get this wire see if they can't get that player they can't sign nobody since Lamar Jackson is on a franchise tag but then you got so many people that forgot like hold up this is the first year for the franchise tag where were all these moves before where were all these moves when he was still on that rookie contract where were all these moves in the last two years of his deal where were the last where were all these moves it with the fifth year option where all these moves the last three years of the contract that he's been on with the rate what was it then it wasn't there so I just don't understand how people have been getting up in arms so yeah this is Lamar's fault that they can't do anything they ain't do anything when he was cheap they ain't do enough when he was she I can't say they didn't do anything but they didn't do nearly enough when he was cheap now he's expensive and they looking around like oh man we ain't got it you had it and you ain't do nothing so now we in this situation and this whole thing like I mean what's funny about this whole thing is that um we talk about it all the time man conversations back and forth and stuff I know a lot of Ravens fans been saying oh man I'm losing sleep is stressing me out I don't know what's gonna happen and then you go then you go on like Lamar Jackson story or something he over there bowling he over there bowling dancing just having a good time and I love it he over there taking pictures in the big red shoes just having a good time man obviously he's doing negotiate or the whole thing he's still doing negotiation or not and handling the business side of stuff but he's still having a good time and that's what matters right anyway he said um this is just my opinion so yeah that was a fun it's a fun one for sure and I appreciate you the one for how you broke it down and everything but yeah I mean this this whole situation this whole scenario is just who I don't even know what to call it man I don't know what to call it I can't call it it's just it is I can't even say it is what it is because we don't even know what it is we don't know what it is we don't know what the next move is gonna be I'm sure tomorrow we're gonna hear a new story a new report on something cuz y'all know I go like if it ain't every day that we hear something new about this then it's definitely Monday through Friday we hear something new every Monday through Friday so tomorrow I expect to hear something new like oh and then we just have to go from there but I don't even know what to say after that more he's a fan and he liked the Ravens and you know I'm a fanatic you see we got the magic and yet my boys are savage and open challenge and madden making rage quit exit out the door use his favorite team with up all the more
