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]
"Before making a deal, Ravens GM Eric DeCosta and coach John Harbaugh consulted Lamar Jackson about the situation. DeCosta did not shed too much light on the discussion with Jackson, who is considering a contract extension with the team.
The Ravens traded Brown and the 100th pick — third round, compensatory — in the 2022 NFL Draft to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for the 23rd overall pick. Baltimore took Iowa center Tyler Linderbaum with that selection.
"John and I did speak with Lamar – we always do," DeCosta said. "Lamar is probably one of the great leaders of our team, also in the community, as a teammate, in the building. So, we do try to communicate with him as best as possible. We had a communication with him, actually, before the trade was made, to be honest, and explained the situation as best as we could. It’s challenging for everybody. Our locker room is very close, which I’m proud of, as Coach [Harbaugh] would say."
They even told Lamar ahead of time and he's protesting it after the fact on twitter. Way to be a leader... [Reply]

Lamar’s reply was “WTF”? And then hung up the phone.. [Reply]

I'm over people praising the Ravens every draft. They picked this goddamn clueless brainless clown and made him their QB. They're not geniuses any more than any other franchise.
They reported on NFLN this morning that Lamar knew going into the draft that Brown was being traded so he wasn't reacting to that.
He was reacting them drafting a safety and a center after trading Brown. Its obvious. [Reply]

Heh, that's somehow worse. "Hey, guys we just drafted - let my first communication to you as the QB of your new team be to let you know that I don't know what the fuck our team is doing drafting garbage like yourselves." [Reply]
I applaud the Ravens for always having a team that competes but they are stuck in neutral and will never win shit with Lamar. Brown wanted out because he won't get paid there and no WR ever will with their style of offense with Jackson.
No WR can get the targets nor the numbers to get paid in Balt. Meaning Lamar sucks balls and they may as well move on. [Reply]
Also funny is the parallel comparison. Mahomes lost a MUCH better WR to a trade this offseason, and also watched his team draft 2 defensive players in Round 1. [Reply]
