  • you cannot win games without a dominant wide receiver.

  • You just you have to have one.

  • I mean, that's just everybody has one with a young quarterback, Everybody, he mentioned Stefon Diggs, Josh Allen continue to grow because of Stefon Diggs.

  • If he was still throwing the Zeta Jones and no, no, he couldn't.

  • They had Brandon Beane had to figure out.

  • We need to go get something to think about this.

  • Let's let's let's look a little bit ahead.

  • We don't know where the Steelers are going to be, but the Brown seemed of a very bright future.

  • The Bengals certainly seem to be moving in the right direction.

  • They finally got that elusive quarterback that I've always been looking for with all due respect to Andy Dalton, but a guy that can take them over the top, potentially take them over the top and then, obviously, Lamar Jackson, who has been an M v p already.

  • Where do you see the Ravens in this division?

  • And you know, if there's another team that can morph into its next generation, it will be the Steelers as rock solid as anybody.

  • But in that pecking order with a suddenly resurgent Brown's making this a real question.

  • Where do you see the Ravens moving ahead with Jackson?

  • Well, first of all, I think that they're going to still be at the top of the class, right?

  • It's going to be the the Baltimore Ravens Cleveland Browns over the next several years until Pittsburgh figure out their quarterback situation.

  • Cincinnati You know Joe Burrow has been injured.

  • I don't have a real fade.

  • Zack Thomas is one.

  • I mean, Zach Taylor is one a handful of games since taking over as head coach there, So I don't I'm not really like, Okay, Joe Burrow had a good season prior to getting hurt, but I don't see them leapfrogging either one of those two teams in terms of Jackson.

  • I always find it fascinating and funny about the risk of him getting hurt by his style of play.

  • And if you look at the quarterback position, those aren't really the quarterbacks that get hurt.

  • It's when you're standing in the damn pocket.

  • It's not when you're running around.

  • Yeah, a C l happened to Tom Brady.

  • You how in the pocket Cam Nunes Injuries came in the pocket.

  • I mean, you know, everybody breathe outside breeze, your barbecue ribs in the pocket when you look at, I think what people tend to look at is guys like RG three that happened so long ago and he happened to be running when he got hit in towards a C L.

  • They look at that and they think that that applies to every running quarterback, and that's not true.

  • Russell Wilson's been running around since he's been in the league pretty healthy to me.

  • Pretty durable, pretty durable.

  • Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone in the in the, uh in the in the cockpit, so it's like, Start looking at that.

  • I'm like, I wish they stopped saying that.

  • Lamar Jackson, old man and his health, his health, his health.

  • It's like, No, it has nothing to do with that.

  • It's the front line needs to protect him from getting teed off on behind the line of scrimmage.

  • That's a counterintuitive point.

  • It's a great point to bring up.

  • You think the guys that run around would be the most susceptible, but in some cases of the least, he just ran off a litany of examples.

  • You know, it wasn't too long ago.

  • I think it's Week three of the season.

  • If I'm not mistaken key Monday Night Football Chiefs, Ravens the whole thing.

  • Lamar Mahomes.

  • Virtually no difference.

  • And I think right now there clearly has been a little bit of separation between the two.

  • What more do you need to see in the next evolution of Jackson to move him closer to getting back to that comparison with Mahomes?

  • Well, first of all, again, he needs to go get some receivers.

  • Somebody's out there, but I like where Harbaugh and the staff has gone offensively.

  • They brought in Keith Williams, a longtime doctor route.

  • He's a wide receiver coach with one of the best of them in college football.

  • He knows his stuff.

  • He trains guys like Davante Adams in Tyreek Hill.

  • In the off season, they went out and got a guy like T.

  • Martin, who's tutored a number of college wide receivers.

  • The great team.

  • Martin, who won the national championship at the University of Tennessee after Peyton Manning left.

  • So when you look at that, you're like, Okay, they started there.

  • Now go get a couple of players to put with Keith Williams and let him do his work.

  • Thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube.
