Lamar Jackson's ascendancy brings the end of an era in Baltimore

Joe Flacco days as the Ravens’ starting quarterback are over, and his replacement promises an exciting future

Apparently, there will soon be no more debates in Baltimore about whether quarterback Joe Flacco is “elite” or not. Even though he has recovered from the hip injury that pressed first-round draft pick Lamar Jackson into starting action, the Ravens decided to stick with Jackson for Sunday’s 20-12 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The move probably means the end of Flacco’s time in Baltimore.

With the win, the Ravens improved their record to 4-1 with Jackson as the starter after beginning the season 4-5 under Flacco. With their 8-6 record, Baltimore remain alive in the postseason hunt, something that seemed unlikely as they struggled early in the season. Considering their current hot streak, Baltimore would have been foolish not to stick with Jackson, who not only is the clear quarterback of the future but is helping his team win games right now.
