Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has won over the Baltimore Ravens locker room but there have to be some real questions about how free agents, especially on the offensive side feel about him. Coach John Harbaugh doesn't seem to be too concerned about free agents not wanting to come to Baltimore and actually thinks Jackson will make players want to come to Baltimore.
“I think a lot of players are going to want to play with a quarterback like Lamar,” Harbaugh said via Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. “I’m looking forward to seeing if it helps us. I know the guys that are here do. I know the guys that are here, the guys that are pending free agents and restricted free agents and those guys, they want to stay. That’s probably a big part of it.”
There is no question that Jackson is a weapon with his legs and even some defensive players like Gerald McCoy have said that Jackson reminds him a lot of Michael Vick. The biggest question with Jackson is how well he can pass the ball. Receivers like John Brown and Michael Crabtree saw a big drop in production with Jackson under center, even though the team was still winning games.
Jackson said the passing aspect was a big thing that he wanted to work on this offseason and if he can improve on that, he will be a complete quarterback and there is no doubt big time free agents are going to want to come and play in Baltimore. With the defense the team has, this is going to be a Super Bowl contender for years going forward, as long as Jackson continues take steps forward.
