Shannon Sharpe believes one team should go after Lamar Jackson.

Shannon Sharpe knows the talent that Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson possesses. However, it seems the rest of the league is too afraid to make a move to land the former MVP. On Thursday's edition of Undisputed, Sharpe had one team in mind that would have massive benefits from adding Jackson. The Indianapolis Colts are in desperate need of stability at the quarterback secret. The franchise has even told the media they considered the possibility of adding Jackson to the team. However, the move was never made. Sharpe believes the move would be a perfect fit for both parties.

“They have a defense that’s ready to compete right now. They’ve been in QB hell since Andrew Luck retired,” Sharpe stated on Thursday. The Colts have been in a quarterback nightmare since the surprising retirement of Luck. However, that is to be expected when your franchise star abruptly leaves the game. But enough time has passed. The Colts quarterback play has hindered the franchise for too long. Plugging that desperate need for a talented QB like Jackson may just be the answer the franchise has longed to look for.

Shannon Sharpe Believes The Colts Are A Playoff Team With Jackson

The hesitancy on Jackson has been appalling by those around the league. Yes, the star quarterback has injury questions. However, Jackson, at 90%, is better than some starting quarterbacks in the league. The Ravens have stated they don't plan on moving on from Jackson. The team recently brought in Odell Beckham Jr. to bolster up the receiver position. Obviously, the move was made in hopes that Jackson would happily return to the franchise. However, Jackson has yet to make a decision on his playing future.

Time is running out for the Colts to find a competent quarterback. But maybe the team is looking toward the NFL Draft to find their franchise quarterback. However, folks like Shannon Sharpe believe the answer is already in front of them. Should the Indianapolis Colts make a move for Lamar Jackson? Would Jackson make the Colts an instant Super Bowl favorite? Please give us your thoughts on the potential move in the comment section. For the latest NFL news, keep it right here with HNHH.
