People keep saying Lamar Jackson's play isn't feasible, that the league is going to figure him out and/or beat him down. Maybe someday, but right now I don't know the answer, and it doesn't look like anyone else does, either.

All gimmicks flash for a year then die. It's the NFL. The Jackson problem will get solved. It's not "the future," it's just a gimmick.

Normally I'd agree, if it stays a gimmick. But he's already shown improvement as an actual quarterback over last year, probably more so than Vick did in years. If that improvement halts or stalls, than it'll stay a gimmick and die off eventually. But if it continues, he can possibly evolve into more.

It's a gimmick, that doesn't mean he can't keep being successful after the gimmick is busted.

Truth, if he puts in the work. And by all accounts that come out of Baltimore all everyone talks about is how he works at it.

It's not sustainable because of injury. Either a DC figures him out, or he'll get broken. One way or the other. Running QB's in the NFL don't last.

It's gonna be his coaching, recognizing the end of the gimmick and what he needs to do going forward, that's gonna make or break him as a career player.

Not that there was any suspense involved, but the Redskins are officially eliminated from the playoffs.

Ravens could have ended the Bills right there, but they tripped Beasley on a fourth and 16 play.
