As for the Ravens.....they're going to ask Lamar to be a pocket passer, which he does not have the tools to be.  They're going to run a standard offense, AND he has been sending plays and routes to the OC to implement for him.  He's gotten them off Twitter FFS.  Lamar's ego is going to be his own doing.  He is not capable of being the QB the offense is designed for.  He doesn't have the touch or accuracy.  never has.  never will.  I won't be surprised if the offense is a disaster for Lamar like Denver was for Wilson last year.

Could everything turn out rosey for both?  Sure it could, but I have my doubts.

Ravens are not abandoning Lamar, what they are finally trying to do is put better WRs out on the field to help him and take pressure off him and Dobbins coming back from injury.  Lamar is not going to be at top of accuracy but he is not the worst either and will only improve with better weapons, no different than Burrows would go down if you took Chase and Higgins off the team.  As for Steelers, they probably had the best top two picks in the draft and both showed talent as rookies, we can only expect them to improve and if preseason is any indication it looks like they will. 

Dog fight is coming in the AFC North..
