Even if you secretly think Lamar is bums as a thrower, you damn near have to sign him based off production and what he meant to your franchise. Lamar saved Harbaugh’s job in the NFL imo.

Not an MVP, but how'd that work out for the Cardinals with Kyler? Paying a guy because you're expected to even if he's bums is simply a bad move.

Disagree that he saved Harbaugh's job, too, because I don't know how much it was ever in jeopardy. The year before Lamar got drafted the Ravens were 9-7 with the 9th scoring offense and 6th scoring defense. With a shoddy old Joe Flacco at QB. They had won 5 of their previous 6 and were a last minute Dalton-to-Boyd TD from going to the playoffs.

Lamar has had a top-3 scoring defense in every year other than the COVID year where the Ravens lost like 9 DBs to injury, and he's had a HoF Kicker carrying their special teams every year. The Ravens will be fine with a different QB once they are able to switch their offense back to a non-Lamar one. Harbaugh seems like a turd of a person, but his teams are always very good on defense and special teams and he's only had 4 non-winning (2 losing) seasons in 15 years. They're a very very stable franchise.
