Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was very successful in the seven regular-season games he started after Joe Flacco went down with a hip injury, leading the Ravens to a 6-1 record to finish the season and an AFC North title.
But for all the success Jackson had in the short term, those accomplishments might be fleeting if the rookie doesn't improve as a passer, according to ESPN "Monday Night Football" analyst Booger McFarland.
"For what they've asked him to do, he has been outstanding," McFarland said on Glenn Clark Radio Jan. 4 before the Ravens' 23-17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in the wild-card round Jan. 6. "But if we want to take a 30,000-foot look at it, he's thrown for 200 yards one time. He's really been inconsistent in the passing game, and he's really making a lot of plays running the football."
