The\u00a0Baltimore Ravens\u00a0are currently 8-5 on the season after their Week 13 loss against the Philadelphia Eagles. Lamar Jackson and company look the part of a potential Super Bowl contender, but there are concerns about their consistency.<\/p>\n

Jackson has been putting together another MVP-caliber season. In fact, he\u2019s one of the top two front-runners to end up winning the award.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Despite how good he has been playing, one NFL analyst has urged Jackson to make a major change.<\/p>\n

Warren Sharp of Sharp Football Analysis\u00a0has suggested that Jackson should look to run more. He doesn\u2019t think more designed runs for Jackson should be called, but he wants to see Jackson run more when the pass isn\u2019t there, especially late in close games.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many times when the game is tight and the game is a big game that Lamar seems to scramble around, to hang in the pocket, hang behind the line of scrimmage for far too long before doing one of three things: taking a sack; choosing to scramble, which often times does not result in as much upside as it otherwise would have if he took an open run lane a lot earlier; or trying to fire the football when he\u2019s outside the pocket, he\u2019s moving, and he doesn\u2019t have his feet set, and so it\u2019s far less likely to be an accurate completion. \u2026 Sometimes these guys are wide open, as we saw with Isaiah Likely [against the Eagles],\u201d Sharp said.<\/p>\n

He believes that Jackson utilizing his legs even more would give the\u00a0Ravens\u00a0a better chance to win a championship.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat you need to do is win playoff games, win a Super Bowl,\u201d Sharp said. \u201cAnd the way that you\u2019re going to do that is by taking advantage of your God-given ability that most any other quarterback doesn\u2019t have. He\u2019s more evasive, elusive, and faster than Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts. He needs to take advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n

So far this season, Jackson has completed 67 percent of his pass attempts for 3,290 yards, 29 touchdowns, and just three interceptions. He has also picked up 678 yards and three scores on the ground.<\/p>\n

Those numbers show just how good and dominant the\u00a0Baltimore\u00a0quarterback has been.<\/p>\n

One issue does come from a quarterback running the football more often. Running quarterbacks are often injured at a much higher rate. The\u00a0Ravens<\/a>\u00a0can\u2019t afford for Jackson to get hurt.<\/p>\n

If he can increase his runs in a safe way, it likely would help Baltimore. He\u2019s one of the most electrifying playmakers in football and seeing him utilize that playmaking ability more could be a huge boost for the Ravens\u2019 offense.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
