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.

You can’t go to the super extreme in Kyler Murray. There have probably been way more teams who have been in the same position and it worked out.

And for all we know a new coach and a new culture could change and Kyler could more than earn the rest of that super deal. He has the talent. As of right now i can only call this Cardinal season a fluke


But i do think Ravens are in the same position. What’s the endgame for them if they do plan on moving on? Hoping Hundley balls out? Hoping another Lamar Jackson falls in your lap?
