THE TAKE
Cam Newton pointed out the trend of Coaches being fired then QBs finding new teams… Well that’s not happening on Baltimore. Lamar is there to stay. A large part of why Jesse Minter was hired is because Lamar Jackson has fallen short of the Super Bowl, but he took the job because Lamar is a future Hall of Fame signal caller!
Lamar had to be better in that big moments. Minter has to improve the defense, & Eric DeCosta has to build a better supporting cast. Time is now!
