And as I recall, before he did that, he was in some danger of being fired. At least he was on the hot seat, according to both of my friends that are BAL fans.
Like I said, just my opinion, and it's not like I've followed Lamar's career real closely. However, we've seen him vs. the Chiefs several times now, and it's a fact that every time Lamar has been forced to become a pocket passer, every time he's been forced to abandon that RPO heavy offense, he's struggled. Has he improved as a QB since he was drafted? Yes, some. If he had a minor lower body injury that took away his ability to run, would I rank him above Kirk Cousins? Not a chance.

Idk. I’m just shocked that people believe a coach who led his team to 9-8 and 10-7 seasons with Kenny Pickett in the toughest division in football couldn’t do better if you swapped Pickett for Lamar Jackson. Jackson was 6-1 under Morningwheg, 39-15 under Roman, and 13-3 under Monken. He would have been good anywhere and if you pair him up with a good coach like Tomlin, I bet people would feel differently about the Tomlin vs Harbaugh debate.
