The Facts: Jackson has a new contract, a new offense, and a new goal. He said during Thursday’s press conference that he wants to throw for more yards than any quarterback has ever generated in a single season. “I think I told someone like man I wanna throw for like 6,000 yards with the weapons we have,” Jackson said. “And I’m not an individual award-type guy or a stat watcher, I just want to do that because no one’s ever done it and I feel like we have the weapons to do it.”

Diehards Line: The single-season record is 5,477 yards, set by Peyton Manning in 2013. The Ravens have hired offensive coordinator Todd Monken. They’ve added receiver Odell Beckham Jr. and receiver Zay Flowers. They also have former first-round receiver Rashod Bateman, tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, and a great crew of running backs. ... Meanwhile, Jackson, who missed the last five games of the regular season plus Baltimore’s postseason loss to Cincinnati with a PCL sprain, said it took longer than initially expected to fully recover. “Got better probably a month ago,” Jackson said on Thursday. Jackson later reiterated that he’s fully healthy, saying, “I passed today” in regards to a physical. Jackson also took some pointed criticism late in the season from some folks who thought the quarterback should have been playing. But Jackson said those kinds of comments didn’t bother him. “People don’t know what’s really going on,” Jackson said. “They’ll be trying to reach and pull and try to see if the club will say [something], or what I’d come out and say. But we keep it in-house. It’s not anyone’s business but ours. ...” After playing 12 regular-season games in each of the last two years, Jackson will look to make it through all 17 and beyond in 2023.
