Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, if he was listening to his new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle's introductory press conference, he must have loved what he heard.
With the Ravens undergoing some serious changes this offseason, Jackson having a new coordinator, and one who worked with Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams in Chicago last season, that is something to be excited about.
While we don't know the game style and scheme Doyle wants to implement, it is fair to assume much of it will be based on what Lamar does well.
And one thing that he does perhaps better than anyone is the ability to make a play happen when things break down, much like Williams.
And Doyle pointed that out.
"The quarterback is the eraser of game planning errors or mistakes," Doyle said via ESPN. "If there's something where we expected a certain coverage and we didn't get it, at times the quarterback's got to put the cape on and go be Superman. And so in a lot of ways that's the similarity between their games is that Lamar does have the ability to go do that at times."

Will Lamar be Superman in 2026?
While it is good to have that lever to pull, as Josh Allen can attest to, bringing it out only when you need it is a good course of action.
Being like it on a game-to-game basis is when things can go wrong, and there's no doubt that Lamar has shown his ability to put the team on his back and do things not many other quarterbacks can.
But it is clear that Doyle sees Lamar as that type of quarterback, one who can get the offense out of a jam in the blink of an eye.
We didn't see much of Jackson last season for a variety of reasons, but under Doyle, maybe Lamar will get back to being "Lamar" for the Ravens.
