You don't think Lamar taking snaps (regardless of the positioning, WR/QB/etc) prior to getting the starting role helped him learn/run the offense? Of course it did. Your argument is the ravens team is completely different with Lamar at the helm than Flacco, therefore that loss to the steelers shouldn't count in my arguement. I disagree with the extent of that. Yes it definitely changes the offense and takes off pressure from your defense but it's not like they threw out of the playbook and started from scratch or anything... it's not like going from tom brady to mike vick... sure that game may not be the best example but it works for me i'm still going to use it lol.
I think it's pretty dumb to compare an offense with Flacco under center to one with Jackson under center, yes. I don't think that really bears explanation tbh; the stats regarding time of possession, 3rd down percentage, rushing efficiency, and scoring differential speak for themselves. The impact that a consistent offense makes on the team's defense should also be obvious, but apparently not to everyone.
And this Steelers team that was "in shambles" was apparently good enough to handle the Patriots and nearly beat the #1 seed Saints, but that wouldn't support your argument or distract from the fact you didn't know what you were talking about, amirite?
