In his 7 starts, Lamar has rushed for 556 yards, 79.4 per game. Projected over a full 16-game season, that's 1,270 yards which would have been third in the NFL this season.
More impressive is doing that for Gus Edwards during Lamar's 7 games as starting QB. 654 yards, which is 93.4 per game, projecting to 1,495 over a full-16 game season.
Finally, add in Kenneth Dixon. He has 289 yards in his 5 games back from IR with Lamar at QB, averaging 57.8 yards per game. That projects to 925 yards in 16 games.
3,700 yards rushing from a QB and 2 RBs? I agree it's probably not sustainable in the long term. But in the short term, it's a lot for opposing teams to handle this year.
I will also note that Lamar's current career QB rating is higher than Flacco's, and his current season rating (same as his career, obviously) is higher than any Flacco season since 2014. He hasn't thrown a pick in 5.5 games, since the second quarter vs. Oakland back on Nov. 25.
