2. Lamar Jackson has limitless potential in the Atlanta Falcons’ offense

Arthur Smith clearly wants a quarterback who can buy time behind the line of scrimmage and can also run a read option every once in a while. Lamar Jackson clearly checks those boxes.

The Falcons have guys like Cordarrelle Patterson, Tyler Allgeier, Drake London, and a healthy Kyle Pitts, that could turn Lamar into an even better player. How can you not get giddy about that idea?

The Ravens have obviously catered to Lamar’s skillset and that is something Arthur Smith can certainly do; after all, he was able to make Marcus Mariota look at least serviceable for a number of weeks. Give him a proven, former MVP quarterback, and he could light the league on fire.

Atlanta would already have more talent surrounding Jackson than the Ravens ever did. In Baltimore, it is basically Mark Andrews or bust. Atlanta has invested a lot into their skill positions.
