Ravens Insider: READERS RESPOND: Ravens fans are concerned about the team’s offense

[ExtremeRavens]

We asked readers how worried they are about Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson and the team’s inconsistent offense. Baltimore is on a five-game winning streak, but the Ravens have only scored 30 points once in their past eight games as Jackson has battled injuries.

Here are the results from our online poll:

• Very worried — 63.8% (266 votes)
• Somewhat worried — 30.7% (128 votes)
• Not worried — 5.5% (23 votes)

Here’s what some fans said about Jackson and the Ravens’ offense (answers have been edited for clarity and grammar):

Not worried. We always play down to poor opponents. I think Thursday night we break the door down and have a great game offensively, leading us to a charging victory over Joe Burrow and the Bengals. — Mac

Concerned because of the offensive line struggles. — Don Hector 

The Ravens successfully beat teams that beat themselves like the Jets. The Ravens will lose at least two more regular-season games. — Steve

It’s time to give Keaton Mitchell more snaps. Let Derrick Henry get some rest because defenses are starting to predict every run play, which is killing the passing game. — Mack

Always good to have room for improvement. Get everything dialed in right before the playoffs. — Jim Brady

I’m not worried at all. What y’all fail to understand is as long as we are winning, I don’t care how it looks. We won five in a row and that should be celebrated, plus we are in first place in the AFC North. Lamar should have sat out against the Jets for rest, but he didn’t and we won the game. — Kenneth Hodge

Sit Lamar. Give him a Turkey and let him have Thanksgiving off. Why have a backup QB if you are afraid to use him when No. 1 is playing at 60%? Rest Lamar, let him mend. The Ravens still have big games ahead. Lamar at 100% is great, but at 60% he’s not so great. It’s a no-brainer. — Robert

Pretty worried, but let’s get a win Thursday and then they get, what, 10 days off? Let my man heal. — Edward Cain

One thing you can definitely tell now, which most of us already did, is how much Lamar’s mobility made up for the offensive line. Even last year, I never thought they were as good as they looked, and most of that is because of him. You had to account for his legs and mobility, and he covered up a lot of deficiencies, which he can’t do now. — Donald Hall Jr.

He’s clearly working through injuries. But even at that, he’s still in the upper tier of the league. The bigger issue is the offensive line and if they can get themselves sorted out to run Todd Monken’s offense. With his schemes, everything starts with the line. — Brian Hill

The Ravens have beaten four bottom feeders unimpressively. Given Lamar’s current health, they’ll be lucky to finish 2-4 in the final six games. — Alan Peck
