The Ravens averaged 363 total YPG, so without Jackson's rushing, they'd be down to just 300 YPG.
That would put them at 30th in the NFL in YPG.

A better strategy for BAL if they want to pay Orlando Brown but not pay (or can't pay) a big contract to Jackson would be to draft another QB with more promise than a "game manager" and still have that cheap contract.

Yes, because Lamar Jackson threw for less than 184 yards per game. That's not a reason why he drives the offense, that's a reason why an offense needs more passing attack than that.

Fact is even if you remove all of his rushes and replace all those plays with 0 yards, they're still a Top-8 rush offense each of the last 2 years. Mark 30 y/o Mark Ingram, UDFA Gus Edwards, JK Dobbins. Doesn't matter who they're putting back there, they're pumping out 5.0+ YPC seasons behind that OL and with the defense making it so they can always run for wins. Heck, Dobbins just ran for 6.0 YPC.

When the opposing team scores at least 23 points, Lamar Jackson is 3-9 career as a starter. Mahomes has 6 such wins just in 2020. 

The Ravens success revolves around their OL and their D.
