Jackson's accuracy, while good, is likely not the part of his game that necessarily keeps defensive coordinators up at night. Roethlisberger's comments offer insight into how opposing teams view Jackson, an elite runner who is the only quarterback in NFL history with two 1,000-yard rushing seasons to his credit. "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 bring those safeties down." He had a quarterback rating of 84.8 with a touchdown rate of 3.6 and an interception percentage of 1.7. His longest completion went for 59 yards and he threw for 233.8 yds per contest. 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. Roethlisberger connected on 390 of his 605 throws in his last season for a completion percentage of 64.5. So you bring safeties down because you do fear him running because he's a different level runner, so you fear that. He's got a huge arm, he can make things happen when he scrambles, but you don't fear him just sitting in the pocket and picking you apart. "You don't really fear Lamar's accuracy all the time. The only regular-season matchup between Rodgers and Roethlisberger came in 2009, when the Steelers edged the Packers 37-36 in Pittsburgh. "With Lamar, you want to bring safeties down to help stop the run," Roethlisberger said on the latest edition of his podcast. Rodgers’ lone Super Bowl appearance was a 31-25 win over Roethlisberger’s Steelers on Feb. Roethlisberger's analysis included an honest assessment of how defenses try to stop Jackson. Roethlisberger, who won his lone start against a Jackson-led Ravens team during his career with the Steelers, recently broke down how the addition of Beckham could be beneficial for Jackson. Both Roethlisberger and Phelps agree that Beckham could be a big boost for a Ravens offense and for quarterback Lamar Jackson, assuming the former league MVP will suit up for Baltimore this season. Ben Roethlisberger texted 28-time Olympic medalist and Ravens super fan Michael Phelps shortly after Baltimore signed Odell Beckham Jr.
