Is it time to re-hash the debate over Lamar Jackson's arm again? One future Hall of Fame quarterback has put himself in the spotlight for calling out the arm of the Ravens QB.Ben Roethlisberger made headlines for comments on his "Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger" podcast when he said that teams aren't afraid of what Jackson can do as a true pocket pa sing quarterback."You don't really fear Lamar's arm, his accuracy all the time," Roethlisberger said. "He's got a huge arm. He can make things happen when he scrambles or whatever, but you don't really fear him just sitting in the pocket and picking you apart."Ben Roethlisberger on Lamar Jackson;You dont fear him sitting in the pocket and picking you apart.Teams FEAR Lamar the runner MORE THAN the pa ser, but dont use that to tear him down.For example, Lamars Career Pa ser Rating and QBR in the pocket is better than Big Ben Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) MORE: However, it is important to fully Lorne Henning Jersey put into context Roethlisberger's comments. The former Steeler quarterback was discu sing the , and the impact he can have, a suming Jackson is back under center. Roethlisberger's comments about Jackson's arm came after he said that defenses often bring both safeties closer to the line to a sist in run coverage and help prevent Jackson from scrambling for big gains.With the Ravens bringing in Beckham, however, all of a sudden defenses will have to change course."You do bring safeties down because you do fear him running because he's a different level runner. So you fear that," Roethlisberger said. "But now, if you've got that guy on the outside, you better put a safety back or it's one-on-one, you can just throw it to him. So it definitely creates some potential opportunities for that offense and for Lamar to run if he has to or to take those big shots down the field if he needs to, if they're bringing the safeties down."MORE:To be clear, Roethlisberger's initial comments were certainly criticizing Jackson's ability to be a pocket pa ser. As Robert Griffin III noted, it is one thing to say teams fear Jackson's mobilitythan his arm, but it's another to say teams don't fear Jackson's arm at all.And with stats that Griffin and others, like The Athletic's Jake Ciely, pointed out, Jackson has posted better numbers pa sing in the pocket than Roethlisberger.Career IN POCKETLJax66.2 Comp%11.6 YD/Comp5.8 TD/ATT%EPA per play NO pre sure 0.20EPA per play WITH pre sure -0.246.2 Deep Comp%Ben65.0 Comp%9.72 YD/Comp4.4 TD/ATT%EPA per play NO pre sure 0.05EPA per play NOT pre sured -0.485.04 Deep Comp% Jake Ciely (@allinkid) There are a lot of factors that are worth considering when looking at those numbers. The first is that Roethlisberger was not primarily a pocket pa ser until his mobility started to wear down later in his career, as he was also an effective scrambler, though more in the mold of someone who would run more horizontally than vertically. The second is that Jackson is still in the prime of his career, heading into just his age-26 season, whereas Roethlisberger dropped off in productivity later in his career.But it's also fair to note that Roethlisberger was almost always surrounded by better wide receiver talent, having thrown pa ses to prime Antonio Brown, Mike Wallace, Santonio Holmes, Hines Ward, Diontae Johnson and JuJu Smith-Schuster, all of whom being better than any receiver with whom Jackson has played. And Jackson's skill set has led the Ravens to design an offense where he isn't asked to pa s from the pocket as often.MORE:Roethlisberger's comments, however, were also largely praising Jackson as a quarterback and were more focused on the impact Beckham will have in Baltimore, rather than taking shots at Jackson's ability to pa s."It's a big deal," Roethlisberger said of Beckham's signing. "That's a big boost." Camden Thiesing Jersey
