Jackson had an OL with Stanley, Yanda, and Brown Jr, the 3rd scoring defense, and both a 1k and 700 yard RB (both at 5.0+ YPC) his MVP season.
His supporting cast has become less outstanding over the last two years and his numbers have reflected that.
I think Lamar Jackson at the end of the day falls more in the Alex Smith/Dak Prescott category of QBs. Probably above Smith, but below Prescott. I really hope the Ravens pay Lamar like he's an elite QB so they'll be crushed by huge cap hits for an overpaid QB for a couple years before they figure it out/can get out from it. (Same hope for the Browns and Baker.)
