This "Lamar Jackson is in the same league as Mahomes" nonsense on every football related show I see needs to stop.
Lamar Jackson, on the biggest stage, has now shit down his leg in both opportunities. Lamar is a player who has to have everything around him working perfectly to have success. Put him down 2 scores and ask him to carry the team, he cannot answer the bell.
There's a big difference between a running quarterback, and a quarterback who can run. Lamar Jackson and The Ravens ran 88 plays and put up 12 points.
Jackson attempted 59 passes, only threw one touchdown, but also threw two picks and lost a fumble. 12 points on 59 pass attempts should tell you all you need to know about Lamar as a QB when the lights are the brightest.
Nobody would bat an eye if before the game, soneone told us Pat would put the ball up 59 times. Matter of fact, id be pretty excited to see how many points and yards he would put up in that span of plays.
When things got bad for both QBs, you saw the odds on favorite to win the MVP this year get visible frustrated, press, and ultimately fold. He was nowhere to be seen trying to work out what was happening, rallying his team, he simply pouted on the sideline as his team fell further behind.
The reigning MVP had literally no quit. Its one thing to say after the fact, that we had faith all along, its quite another for that to be true.
Down 24, think about that for a moment. 24. Mahomes is captured, in that moment on the sideline saying we have everything we want. Everyones already counted us the **** out, so go do something special.
Then, to walk the walk after talking the talk, leading the team to 7 straight touchdowns and 8 scoring drives, throwing 5 touchdown passes, and displaying a fiery emotion that if you dont feel anything when you see this kid going nuts after a huge play, call the coroner, because youre already dead.
The two qbs could not be further apart. Jackson cannot hold Mahomes jock when it comes to putting the team on his back.
Lamar should consider signing with KC as a running back. Its the only way barring injury to Mahomes, that hes ever getting a ring.
Mahomes is the MVP. Its not even close. Lamar is a running back executing the halfback pass play about 20-25 times a game.
Jacksons first two years have ended with dud playoff performances.
Mahomes first two years as a starter sees his team hosting back to back AFC title games for a frachise that in its entire history never hosted a single one before he arrived. [Reply]

Ravens fans, in my experience, have actually been quite realistic about the Lamar vs Mahomes debate. After the Super Bowl I saw two Ravens' forums where the majority conceded that they wouldn’t have beaten the Chiefs in the playoffs (but they wished they could have lost to us instead of the Titans, funnily enough).
I don’t know if completely unexpectedly winning a Super Bowl knocks the edge off some fanbases, but even my ****posts on the Ravens subreddit get upvotes, and that’s saying something. [Reply]

Ravens have always had a really good culture and team. A team I’ve always respected [Reply]

Just look at that thread. Aside from "Jim" (who does some hilarious mental gymnastics) they all seem to agree that Mahomes is the guy to beat. Hell, some of them don't even think Lamar is #2. Always fascinating to look at other fan boards. [Reply]

I'm impressed with that forum. It honestly reminded me of watching our forum react when someone would say Alex was a top 5 QB. That type of cynicism would have never flown in a lot of other Chiefs fan sites out there.

I am not fond of Judon. Seemed to hit Mahomes late every chance he got. [Reply]

This has been a fascinating read. Here's my favorite post so far

I don’t believe you actually believe Lamar is better than Mahomes but the fact that you’ve attempted to turn a subjective discussion into a wild mathematical proof is really impressive. I’m not even being snarky.
