Guy can’t be used. Going to have to ride with Herbert to close the year

Guy is killing me...has pretty much run me out of the playoffs at this point.
Don't understand what's going on.
Is he injured? Is not having R. Bateman THAT much of a problem? Is it Harbaugh's lame conservative play calling?
Whatever it is...this...along with him being out for weeks...has proved to be an anchor.

But they've won 5 in a row. So don't expect it to change.
I would disagree with that a little. I don't see this as a conservative playcalling issue at all, its entirely Lamar's play, which may be about his health, which can improve. I don't think the Ravens are looking at these past few weeks as being good. I think they are aware they shouldn't be squeaking by teams like the Jets, Browns, and Vikings, not if they are serious contenders.
I forget who Lamar was throwing to, but there was one play in the redzone where he missed somebody wide open on the left side in the endzone. Should have been an easy pitch and catch.
Something is off for sure.
He’s clearly not healthy but it’s concerning to me he’s showing how bad he is when defenses don’t fear his rushing or he does not have that to rely on as his ace in the hole.
As a dropback pocket passer without the running threat he’s just not very good.
Never thought he’d age as well as most QB’s but I’m now thinking it’s going to be even worse and quicker of a dropoff then I anticipated.
Can’t do much with him this year to help me but when next season kicks off he’ll be 4 months from turning 30. Seeing the player he is when he’s just can’t be an awesome athlete playing QB I’m just hoping he can turn things around enough to create a viable trade market so I can move him.
I’m not saying he’s done, and again this is 100% injury related right now. I am saying he’s showing me the end of his elite status is close, the proverbial cliff may not be far off.

Through his first 5 starts this year, Larmar was 86 of 118 for 1.073 yards, with 14 TDs to 1 INT, earning a 136.7 passer rating, and averaged 6.6 ypc
On Oct. 30 at Miami, he threw 4 TDs and had a 143.2 passer rating.
He's been bad his last 3 games, is on the injury report every week, and now sits out every Wednesday practice
I don't think he suddenly got bad at football on November 1. He's clearly hurt and playing behind a bad offensive line, but can't sit out since the Ravens need to keep winning every week to dig out of their 1-5 hole

We can rebuild him. We have the technology.

Certainly a tough spot for Jackson owners. Juicy schedule for sure... but if he's got "a toe" it tells us everything about how mediocre he has looked since returning from the hammy. He is simply not running (or looking to run) and maybe the toe prevents him from pushing off on his throws (which explains the sudden accuracy issues).

Can't bench him now. He has been killing me down the stretch here but based on this schedule you just know he can win you a game or three here by himself. Ride or die at this point.
Riding or dying with him at this point.
Injury or not, with this schedule, he either produces like he should or he'll be up there for biggest bust of the year.

^This^ is the other concern for Jackson's FF production... CIN x 2 plus PIT can be run on pretty easy. Schedule favors Henry more than Lamar IMO.
Obviously this thing is working its way down his leg. Week 14 should be hangnail, and then for the fantasy playoffs, no injury designation at all.

Why not? These are almost certainly wins. Let him sit and get well. I guess if they start Huntley and then by X quarter if Bal isn't dominating then maybe ya throw in Jackson.
also why I'm not a HC
If he hasn't had a huge game in three weeks it will be too late to worry.

I'm not benching him, but I'm preparing for Thursday night to be the nail in my coffin. He's not looked right since returning.

he’s just not healthy
