Jackson may or may not may it...but remember, Vick started out the same way with many saying HOF. One thing about the NFL, they have the best coaching. It may take a seaon to come up with adjustments, but DC will come up with a way to defend him. Plus, 50% of the time , he is a running back, and having great luck escaping the big hit. But every running back gets hurt, every one of them. Jackson will too, but when?
Running backs and running qbs don't last long in the NFL time will tell,
Yeah, Ravens are basically running a college style offence, works in the short term, but long term? Steve Young was saying the other day that the NFL is becoming more college like, hard to disagree with that.
And what the heck, you have a shot at the SB, why think long term? Get all you can out of Jackson now.

Michael vick took himself out of the HoF. Had he not been a dickhead and off to prison, he wouldve kept racking up the numbers...and im my opinion been a lock for the hall eventually in that he would have lots of player support and get lots of credit for really revolutionizing the position. LJ can kinda pick up where vick left off, and even if he just keeps doing what he is doing for a few years...might be a lock just for how revolutionary he was/is for the game. Lots more to HoF induction than simple numbers.
kid is solid for sure.
Been a whole lot of league changers come in this league .. and not many changed the league for more than the regular season
Time is the ultimate test
The Dallas/Patriots game was in horrible weather, that has to factor into the snooze fest in some way. I was miserable just watching that game!
Teams taking QBs like Jackson are finally building their offense AROUND them instead of making the fit into their existing offense. More college like? Maybe but if they adjust as the NFL gets more and more tape on Lamar then they can stay ahead of the curve. He’s a beast, the location of his passes are incredible and the fear of him taking off gives defenses fits. I hope he stays healthy, he seems like he has a great attitude.

Once a QB leave the pocket, he is just another running back. Jackson is like greased lightning, but one day, he will be running and looking to one side at a player coming towards him, only to be whacked at the knees by a player he did not see. The players now are bigger and faster than ever. He will learn to play out the pocket, and only run in critical downs....lor else.
He is good. Hard to predict the future. I went fishing a couple of weeks ago caught a fish on second cast. Thought that was s pretty good catch to cast ratio. Repeat and catch a fish on cast #4. Naturally I was certain that I would catch a fish on every other cast the rest of the day. It’s easy to be wrong.
Jackson needs to take some pointers from Prescott on how to strengthen those hips for the running game. It wasn't the weather that stunned the Patriots, some things cannot be unseen.
Sure Jackson could get hurt. I think it could happen just as easily in the pocket as out in the open field running. The difference is , if he is dropped back he's at a standstill. Running you got to catch up to him and he's the fastest guy on the field. Oh by the way he also jukes and turns on a dime. The best thing that he learned with Baltimore is he doesn't need to do it all. If there is a blitz throw that short pass and let your TE , Receiver or even RB run all over the place. For comparison's he's much better than Vick or Cunningham. He's on target to surpass Vick's best year stats in his second year and only Randall's 1990 best season could be as good, but that was by far his best and I think Lamar is still improving. He's a freak athlete.
Definitely cant predict the future but ill sure say hes fun to watch. I almost hate when they are up so much that they take him out. I understand why but its fun to watch him go all Jackson on the opposing team. I think he lucked out where he landed as Baltimore doesnt seem to be forcing him into any specific system.
