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]
Since were giving each other advice, its probably best for you if you dont like a thread, maybe don't post in it. Especially if said post exposes your complete ****ing ignorance on the topic lol. Hurr durr, i didn't even know this was a conversation, derp!
Listen, dont get all redassed because i responded to you after you triple posted, then added a **** you Wallcrawler to the end of it.
Seems like your ass needs the dick shoved back in it, so that should be your first priority.
And, if youre going to post something so ****ing stupid, maybe fake a stroke next time.
Yup, you still sound like a bitch. Look at you admitting that your pussy got soft because i dared to say "I didn't realize this was a real argument".
I mean how fucking sensitive can your bitch ass be? I didn't even address you in particular and here you come labia all hanging out throwing around insults.
It's no fucking wonder you made this thread. Bitch is just in your nature. It's who you are. [Reply]

90% of the media is bending the knee and ya'll focus on 5-10% who dissent for, likely, reasons that actually have nothing to do with football.
For christ's sake, there was a moment this season where they were trying to label Josh Allen as the next Mahomes.
Ya'll don't remember (Chris Collinsworth?) trying to convince people that Trubisky has Mahomes-like qualities?
You're complaining about the media hyping the Titans....well, it's the freakin' AFCCG, what are they suppose to do? NOT say good things about one of only two AFC teams left? And then when they go to pick the game winner it's a damn near unanimous decision....
I guess we remember things differently. It was far more than a few that were on the Brees bandwagon, even when he was tailing off. Yes, when Mahomes hit the magic mark of 50, 5000 that pretty much sealed it.
As far as the over-hyped Titans- let the media build them up as much as they want. It is past the point of being ridiculous. But that is how it is- until the Chiefs win it all, they won't be given any credit for being a great team. [Reply]

A coach like Harbaugh can decide that he's in love with the guy's speed and say that he's going to try to turn him into a QB. There's nothing wrong with trying it, particularly if the cupboard is bare at QB and you're picking at the bottom of the draft and have few other options. A speculative pick might make sense in that situation.
But you're still essentially saying "We're going to try to be the first to do something that has never worked in NFL history."
And where they've ended up is someone who looks like they might be able to succeed if they get a lot better and are in a great situation. But this year, on a pretty good team, we saw that they are still not close at all. [Reply]

Lamar wasn't handed the MVP midway through this season either. In fact, at the midway point, it was Russ who was the frontrunner for MVP. It wasn't until Wilson cooled down that the debate ended. [Reply]

Lamar had a minor meltdown.
It’s kinda strange, but I think the Ravens were somewhat handcuffed in the playoffs by the fact they steamrolled people so easily in the regular season. Their only adversity was Chiefs/Browns losses very early in the year. Chiefs had some injury adversity and some “shoot yourselves in the foot” adversity such as the Titans loss. In a weird way it helped them for the situation last weekend. [Reply]
Dude doesn't actually pick one but says most NFL teams would take Patrick Mahomes.
Again, there's no fucking debate here. It's not a real thing. It's media created content that some BITCHES takes offense to because "oh how dare they". It's happened every year with every good QB before Mahomes and will continue until you're dead and buried. [Reply]

Okay, so with 6 games left in the season then. :-)
Lamar and the Ravens had been built up as unstoppable. Their ground game was historic this year, but they did have some major flaws, which the Titans exposed. [Reply]
