Ironically, Ravens backup QB Tyler Huntley, who Frenchylions mentioned in the Arthur Smith thread I link, ended up playing the 4th QTR of the Bills 17-3 win over the Ravens in the 2nd Round of the playoffs. This was the first time I saw Tyler Huntley play. He indeed has similarities with Lamar Jackson. Considering the Ravens trailed by 14 points and the wind conditions certainly affected the accuracy of many throws, kicks, and punts in the game, I thought Huntley played well. He could have used more help from some of his teammates.

The work that James Urban has done with Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley is impressive. Urban warrants NFL Offensive Coordinator interviews.

Tyler Huntley has nearly made everything right including the high pass in the end-zone where only Andrews could catch it.
I'd like to see him grab a number one spot somewhere in the NFL.

My guess is the Ravens will give Tyler Huntley the opportunity to win the team's # 2 QB job this coming summer. If Huntley builds off on what he accomplished in the 2020 season, I think the Ravens will value him more as a backup QB at least through the 2022 season than what they can get for him in a trade. With Lamar Jackson's style of play being high risk, Huntley might turn out to be an ultra bargain low cost insurance policy for the Ravens.
