How's this for some pigskin serendipity?

Seven years ago at the 2018 draft, Dave Caldwell and Doug Marone's Jaguars were a little too high on their own supply after almost going to the Super Bowl with Blake Bordels.

So with Louisville's Lamar Jackson still on the board, the Jags used the 29th overall pick on Taven Brian.

Taven Brian! Spoiler alert. The Jacks made a mistake there.

Doug Marone's been an O-line coach ever since, and earlier this week, the Baltimore Raven

signed to their practice squad. You guessed it. Taven Brian. Or was it Brian Taven? Either way, forget about the Jags. Let's talk about

the team that did get Lamar and more specifically their head coach. You remember the

Reese's peanut butter cup ads? Guy eating a chocolate bar bumps into a woman scooping peanut butter

straight out of the jar while she's walking down the street. You know, like people do.

Point is, the combo made magic. It's kind of like that with good football coaches and great

QBs. Both work on their own, but together they can provide an even better outcome. There are many

great QBs who've won Lombardy's with lousy head coaches and vice versa, But how often is the great coach, great QB formula, not yielded at least one Super Bowl trip? Now listen, John Harbaugh's nice and consistent. He won a Super Bowl with Joe Flacco, but of course had to pay that worth it but heavy Super Bowl-winning QB tax after Flacco won that Lombardy. But then they missed the playoffs in four of the next five years.

And by November of 2018, Baltimore was under 500, and here's the part a lot of people forget.

Look it up if you don't believe me.

Harbaugh and ownership actually agreed to part ways after the season.

Until Flacco got hurt and rookie Lamar went in, and the Ravens went six and one and won the division,

and see Brian Dayball, there's hope for you yet, and Harbaugh unpacked those moving boxes,

and in 2019 went 14 and 2, and Lamar won the MVP, and Harbaugh got tons of credit for his nimble genius,

and they all lived happily ever after.

Except seven years later, still no peanut butter cup.

The Lamar Hawbaugh Ravens, the Lamarbaugh Ravens, were a lot of people's Super Bowl favorites,

and one in the 17th conference playoff era wouldn't be a killer but it wouldn't be good either not with
