Yeah losing his father and grandmother on the same day is probably why he's so great. He's a diamond born under pressure. Lamar has always been under pressure his whole life and he's beat all the odds except a SB. If he wins a SB or 5, he will be the greatest player to ever play the game at any position
Lamar biggest supporter been Steve Young ….Steve Young been saying Lamar could be the GREATEST Football ever if the Ravens put talent around him …now everyone seeing it !
Lamar is the second coming of Steve young. From day one when everyone was comparing Lamar to Vick, I compared him to Steve young. If you compare film, the similarities between Lamar and Vick are that they’re both fast, black qbs, the skillsets didn’t match, Lamar’s skillset matches Steve young’s on film
I remember my father and I (huge Ravens fans) watching Louisville vs Clemson, and he looked at me and said, wouldnt it be cool if he was our QB? I said he would never play for us. Boy am I happy I was wrong that day.
i remember on draft night when i was wishing we took lamar, when we took hurst i was hurt 😭😭then we ended up trading back up to get him. never say never lol
My dad went to Clemson, and we live in the Baltimore area, so we were disappointed the Ravens skipped out on Watson. Never been more happy to have a wrong first impression.
Idk how one makes that assessment. He has never been that type of guy and Louisville isn't all world and he played for them so he definitely would play for the Ravens. That's not even a thing only two to three players have refused to play for a team ever.
SA take on lamar was absolutely terrible.. LJ won a fkn unanimous MVP with his wide receivers being miles boykin Willie Snead and a okay Hollywood brown.. he Has never had a tyreek hill and a travis kelce.. mahomes had both those guys at the same time.. even now yeah its definitely the best squad he has ever had but he still doesnt have a chase or Jefferson or cd lamb.. can u imagine what LJ8 would do if he had tyreek hill on this team..
I think the most underrated factor about Lamar is who his Offensive Coordinator was when he won his 1st, unanimous, MVP. His weapons weren't great and the majority of them aren't factors in the league this season. Imagine if he had what all of his counterparts has had in their careers.
Exactly, some of the recievers that lamar was throwing to, in 2019, aren't even in the nfl anymore. If Lamar started his career out with a jamarr Chase or tyrek Hill, he would have a SB already.
Bill Belichick is one of the few analysts where I can tell he watches the games. He's right on the money when he talks about not only Lamar, but the ravens as a whole. Like he said the Ravens are the ravens biggest obstacle this season. Tom also puts alot of respect on Lamar. Greatness recognize greatness i suppose
I never doubted, that night in 2018 I called it, I said if this guy could throw just as good as Flacco could, combined with his electric running ability he would be a monster. When he said we gettin a Super Bowl out of him just have to believe, well I believe it’s not a matter of if just when. People with conviction like his always get what they want in the end. Well now in 2024 even though I did sort of predict it Lamar cranked it up to 100. The dude is on his way to becoming a 3 time mvp at 27 and the scary thing is he’s getting better. Most players win mvp at their peak, this dude isn’t even at his ceiling and is already the best currently. Eventually if he keeps on this trajectory eventually no one will stop this guy.
Did we watch the same games. Flacco wasn't a great passer by any means. He had a hand cannon. Yes. He had players around him who could catch the bullshit that he threw up in the air.
@@howardharris223 you’re proving my point, Lamar didn’t have to be an elite passer to be a beast in the nfl, but he is now which makes him dangerous against any team

I'm from country that doesn't know what American Football is, but when i saw movie like The Replacement and The Blindside, i just want to how this sport rules in term to understand the context of those movies. So in 2019 i search and found that Tom Brady are the best QB at that time (until now obviously😂) then suddenly NFL uploaded full match Patriots (8-0) vs Ravens. Oh Man, yeah TB still make a good gameplay but i really love how number 8 on the purpleblack did. Trust me, if there is someone who can spread this sport to the whole world that doesn't know the beauty of American Football, yes he is Lamar Jackson.
I echo this, I’m from the UK & Lamar is the reason I’ve grown to love NFL. I can’t for the life of me understand why so many critics try to downplay Lamar because of his athleticism when he’s literally made the game so enjoyable to watch. I coach in a school and have shown the kids Lamar’s highlights…….. they absolutely love him and they love the sport now too because of him.
Bro Lamar is literally the reason football is starting to gain popularity overseas. My cousins back home in Egypt never cared about football. Last time I was there (after 2019), they all ask me about Lamar. I meet random people and when they figure out I’m a football fan will bring up how much they love watching Lamar play. They don’t even know who Mahomes is…
People talk about his losses, especially in the playoffs, but you know they don’t watch the game. Almost all his INTs come off of WR drops and almost every game lost is because the team randomly decides to stop running the ball. You heard that right: the best running team in the NFL just decides not to run the ball, Harbaugh is actually holding this kid back + mid/bad WR’s and RB’s.
Honestly it doesn’t matter if Lamar ever wins a Super Bowl. What he’s done for this sport is bigger than the Super Bowl, nobody even cares who won the Super Bowl last year. Lamar has made football entertaining for everyone, from the US to the UK to the Middle East to Japan. Name one other player that you can honestly give credit to for that.
Yeah i traveled with a ravens logo and people knew it was lamar jacksons team that is crazy i had other teams no one knew them but ravens they know this team from 1 player
Its a copy cat league. Jayden Daniels, Jalen Hurts to name a few. This new era of running QB started with Cam and Russ, who went to and won SBs with that style of play. Kyler Murray Stroud even Daniels would have been dice roll picks 20 years ago. Now they are potentially franchise QBs
@@CoreyW912 what does that have to do with this?? Lamar’s success in the nfl as an athletic run first quarterback with decent passing ability is really what caused people to believe in Richardson.
This. I say this in sports all the time. Just enjoy watching the thing you love done at this level. It’ll be over soon enough if you’re sick of it. We get so caught up that we forget that a Lamar Jackson or Pat Mahomes does not HAVE to exist. There is no law of nature that says Saban or Belichick MUST coach at that level. We may never see anything like these dudes again and you get to be one of the lucky few who saw it while it was happening. Enjoy it lol
After being robbed of so much coaching and player talent after last season it's a work in progress to rebuild the unity needed to be good. Hope we got time.
I've been a Ravens fan since 2000, and I believe that Lamar will win the Super Bowl someday and hopefully this season. I continue to praise him since he been in the NFL since 2018 on how he gotten better as a passer along with his unique running ability. I know for a fact he's going to get his third MVP due to the fact the Ravens has the number one offense in the league right now! #Ravensflock! #Ravensnation!!!
Well in terms of who actually revolutionized that style, it would be Lamar and mahomes. Randall, Steve, and whoever else came before Lamar and mahomes were good, they did not change what scouts look in a QB, but mahomes and Lamar did. Literally revolutionized the position.
It's weird because i've been watching LJ8 since his Louisville days and he has always been amazing. He came off the bench once he came to the pros, and has carried that franchise ever since. WITHOUT, great players around him. Now, that he is a vet in the league, he's exactly where he should be. But, the talking heads act as if he should've performed like a 5 years vet from the day he came off the bench. What is this impatience with young black Quarterbacks?
Lamar has given given these young QBS THE INCENTIVE TO BELIEVE THEY CAN DO WHAT HE DOES AND MORE. IM PROUD OF LAMAR. KEEP LOOKING UP. LOVE YOU😂❤🙏💙💯 HE IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE MY QB. I BEEN WATCHING HIM EVERY SENCE HIS NAME WAS CALLED. FOR THE RAVENS. I CRYED😢 KWEP PRAYING FOR HIM AND FLOCK.
I am so happy my team dropped back into the bottom of the first to get lamar. He is 2 time MVP,and working on no.3 this season. If only we can get our crappy secondary to shape up,maybe we can make a run at this thing.
listen i know the title is taken, but Lamar Jackson is the most electrifying man in sports entertainment. Like truly the most fun player in the league to watch. he's only gotten better, which is insane. I know people are more likely to compare Tom Brady to MJ based on career achievements, and yeah that makes total sense..... But hear me out, I'd say MJ and Lamar have more in common than those two, I'll explain. MJ was one of one, he actively changed game all throughout his career in multiple areas of the sport all at once. He redefined his role and broke the mold of what's expected from even the highest caliber of an NBA shooting guard or of any position for that matter. While Tom is the GOAT of QB's he didn't redefine the position, he played it the way it's more or less expected to be played, of course at an extraordinary level to say the least. Lamar on the other hand has redefined his role time and time again, and the role/impact a QB has in the sport of football. He went from a dual threat QB that relied on his incredible speed early on, to an incredibly accurate pocket passer with the ability to scramble leagues better than any other QB in the NFL. He was already a defensive coordinators nightmare early on in his career, but now he's truly become one of one. Defenses are incapable of defending against him. he does what he wants when its ravens possession, and no defense is capable of preventing it. (So long as his team doesn't get called for a dozen penalties before, during or after the play.) So why does this comparison of MJ and Lamar actually make more sense? Because they both redefined what their position was capable of in their respective sport . They both redefined the impact their role was capable of on any given play or possession. They both attained a level of play that made the opposing players look underqualified for the job of trying to compete / defend against them. Finally, both MJ and Lamar were and are the most exhilarating and unbelievably entertaining players to watch play their sport. PS tom is more similar to lebron. arguably the greatest to ever play the game, but neither really changed the way the game was played per say. just performed consistently at incredible heights practically all throughout their careers. This isn't a jab at anyone, if that wasn't already clear. I'm not comparing accolades, I'm comparing individual impact on their sport, specifically the way they've impacted how the game is played, and individual impact on their respective position. It's far from a perfect comparison, but its a lot more reasonable than people realize at first glance.
There’s absolutely no validity to that argument. Football has never been and will never be on the shoulders of one man. Players have to catch. Players have to block. Defense has to stop the opponents. Coaches have to come up with the most efficient scheme. If all those things don’t align, there won’t be any success. Anyone who watches the Ravens will know that coaching is BEYOND suspect in the playoffs. Last year against the Texans, first half was atrocious. Adjustments were made and it turned around. Why hasn’t anyone asked where were the adjustments vs KC? Zero adjustments. Yet, it’s easy to blame Lamar because “he’s the MVP QB” right? That’s LAZY and pathetic.
Its a moved goalpost. If you notice, thats the only thing they use against him now. they can't say anything about his overall skill anymore. They dont use a playoff record for any other QB in the league or any QB that came before lamar.
@@melaninknowledge3658 It's the only goalpost move they got left, and they're all clinging to it, desperately hoping he doesn't get a ring, because they know after that they got nothing left. Gotta be fair though, and point out that they did use it against Peyton before he got his 1st ring in '06, and it stopped after that. So Lamar isn't the only one.
@SwitchRecords45 even peyton didn't get nowhere as much hate and doubt as lamar, which is why nobody can't name me another 2x mvp QB that has faced as much disrespect and doubt as lamar.
It’s probably because seeing his dominance translate to the post season is the only thing he’s got left to prove. Same thing happened with Jokic, when you (deservedly) win multiple MVPs on a high seeded team but don’t make it to the final, it becomes a question. Not saying I necessarily agree with this standard, but there’s some precedence with it.
@@melaninknowledge3658 And on that we will agree because you're right, it's reached a real level of absurdity at this point. If you really look at it, he's only played in 3 postseasons as the starting QB. I kinda don't count his rookie season as it was clear he wasn't ready to be the starter yet, and he was only playing for an injured Flacco. Two other seasons he was injured. Maybe I'm crazy but I think going to the postseason only 3 times and getting to an AFC championship is pretty damn good. The careers of Brady and Mahomes have really skewed peoples perceptions of success in this league.
I don’t really know if id say the ravens are in a better spot than last year tbh. Yeah the offense is by far the best it’s ever been and Lamar is playing on another stratosphere, but even as a Ravens fan that defense is looking horrendous. Zach Orr’s gotta get it together cause having the dead last passing defense in the league in yards and td’s isn’t exactly ideal lol.
@ I mean they can’t just keep playing the “next year we got it” game tho. Already wasted like 2 years trying to force Greg Roman’s offense to work past its expiration date and dealing with injuries, then last year we threw our entire gameplan out the window in the AFC Championship. I have 0 doubt that if the defense just steps up to be simply mediocre against the pass instead of abysmal then they could win now. Every year we don’t tho that window gets tighter.
I just keep thinking back to Peyton mannings first SB win, he had the leagues worst defense all year, when the playoffs started his defense transformed overnight, and even though Peyton didn’t play well that postseason his defense stepped up enough to win it all. Holding out hope.
Even as a Diehard Ravens fan and a big Lamar fan I have to admit that I didn't think Lamar could improve his game as much as he has from just a year ago. The way he's breaking down defenses before the snap and the accuracy he's throwing with is unreal. It's so satisfying to watch him play this year. Especially on third downs, he's been almost perfect!
Vick plays nothing like Lamar. Vick wasn’t as shifty as Lamar. He’s the only qb you see hurdling defenders and still strong enough to stiff arm them off too
Hope someone reads this .. Lamar has been a top 10 qb the last 5 years (2-3) .. and out of 10 qbs he’s probably had the 9th best receiving core 😂 and still is 2nd in wins to only mahomes
"Reshaped the position?" Bro, Vick was doing this in 97'. Lamar is a little better which is farking crazy to say, but truth is truth and stats are stats.
Thank you for saving the receipts on this one. It was just a couple years ago the pundits obsessed over wanting to call him a running qb or qb. I think it's settled now. He's a QB period. No need to low key shade by calling him a running qb or athletic qb. Just keep it at QB1.
His nickname is Era 8 but I call him Crazy 8 because I knew he would break the NFL numbers don't matter to him winning is everything and the 🏆 is in reach
Lamar Jackson makes watching football more fun. His dynamic skill is nearly unbelievable. It's like watching all the athleticism of the old ABC Wide World of Sports but all in one person.
Lamar is amazing, he's done this with all the doubters! The naysayers are still scrutinizing his style they still don't want to be wrong!! He's been throwing the ball since high school! Lamar doesn't use his shoulder to throw the ball he flicks the ball! He's amazing! Ball young man ball😅😅😅😅
Lamar Jackson is already a HOF player … him getting a 3rd mvp would solidify it for sure. But if he win the superbowl and mvp and SBMVP, He will go down as the greatest player. Yall not going accept it possibly till retire. I hate listening to analysts, listen to players… he’s the most difficult and the one person every player hate to face. Lamar Jackson is the BEST player / athlete on the field every time. I didn’t include numbers cause he’s a walking record breaker. He gets better every year and already done magic.
The NFL has been looking at how to spread football overseas.. literally just schedule the Ravens against any NFC opponent in London or Germany & I guarantee you that they’ll fall in love.
A lot of the haters were Flacco fans. I understand about liking the QB that won a superbowl but was a lot of arguments and debates amongst Ravens fans for Jackson's first 3 years in the league. The shut them up after winning 2 MVP's but now they cling to fact he needs to win a superbowl.
1:40 lmao patrick mahomes is no goat, Lamar is much better the last couple seasons. Patrick had a better start to his career though. And before someone talks some stupid shit about rings, there are 53 players on a roster, coaches, and of course the refs that influence the game it's not a 1v1.
Derrick Henry is right, as a Ravens fan ANYTHING BESIDES A SUPERBOWL is not enough. I don't care we made it the play offs...I expected that. I don't care we beat the Steelers in the wild card, I expected that...Bills...I expect to win that one too.
I say this year is the year Lamar shuts everyone that says he can’t win in the playoffs up, they have the team to do it this year, the Defense isn’t looking to good, but they held up for the most part against some good teams this year, all they gotta do is not let the other team score more then 20 and the Ravens could win every game
Should have waited two more months to make this vid, Lamar had a historic year. 3rd all time season passer rating, 40 plus tds 4 int, 4k in the air, 900 on the ground. The funny thing is there are still people out there right now that believe he still can’t throw? Some people just can’t admit they are wrong
naw his throws it really goes down to calling plays to allow him to be him a threat in all phases only thing he missing is catching the ball he scares teams there defense when they mess up know he gonna work his magic as long as they let him do his thing
Lfg Ravens super bowl baby. It's been 12 years since the last one Lamar just turned 28 last super bowl flaccid was 28 before that 2000 dilfer was 28. This is our year!
If lamar wins a Super Bowl, they should really make a movie about him. He has an incredible story
That Lamar documentary will do generational numbers
Just A Super Bowl is enough for him to become a legend.

Lamar has old school talent. 1970-1980.sheer talent, go back watch films.
I am so happy my team dropped back into the bottom of the first to get lamar. He is 2 time MVP,and working on no.3 this season. If only we can get our crappy secondary to shape up,maybe we can make a run at this thing.
Mike Vick isn’t the first dual threat qb in the nfl it’s Randal Cunningham
Nyet. It was Fran Tarkington back in the 60's. Probably not old enough to know about him, huh?
Fran "The Man" Tarkington was a bad mofo back in the day. I'm old enough that I got to see him in his heyday.
Randell was a beast he could fly and punt the ball 70 yards plus he had a beautiful rainbow deep ball
Let’s not forget when a prime Jalen Ramsey said Lamar is the best QB he’s played against (outside of Tom Brady being his “all time”).
There is no validity to stephen b smith’s comments.
Dude is absolutely insane for thinking all of that
I don’t even watch his sports takes anymore, his podcast is cool though. I like SAS when he doesn’t speak on sports
Love this so much! We knew he was a QB for life here in Louisville, and we knew the doubters would see that one day. They sure did!
listen i know the title is taken, but Lamar Jackson is the most electrifying man in sports entertainment. Like truly the most fun player in the league to watch. he's only gotten better, which is insane.
I know people are more likely to compare Tom Brady to MJ based on career achievements, and yeah that makes total sense..... But hear me out, I'd say MJ and Lamar have more in common than those two, I'll explain.
MJ was one of one, he actively changed game all throughout his career in multiple areas of the sport all at once. He redefined his role and broke the mold of what's expected from even the highest caliber of an NBA shooting guard or of any position for that matter. While Tom is the GOAT of QB's he didn't redefine the position, he played it the way it's more or less expected to be played, of course at an extraordinary level to say the least.
Lamar on the other hand has redefined his role time and time again, and the role/impact a QB has in the sport of football. He went from a dual threat QB that relied on his incredible speed early on, to an incredibly accurate pocket passer with the ability to scramble leagues better than any other QB in the NFL. He was already a defensive coordinators nightmare early on in his career, but now he's truly become one of one. Defenses are incapable of defending against him. he does what he wants when its ravens possession, and no defense is capable of preventing it. (So long as his team doesn't get called for a dozen penalties before, during or after the play.)
So why does this comparison of MJ and Lamar actually make more sense? Because they both redefined what their position was capable of in their respective sport . They both redefined the impact their role was capable of on any given play or possession. They both attained a level of play that made the opposing players look underqualified for the job of trying to compete / defend against them. Finally, both MJ and Lamar were and are the most exhilarating and unbelievably entertaining players to watch play their sport.
PS tom is more similar to lebron. arguably the greatest to ever play the game, but neither really changed the way the game was played per say. just performed consistently at incredible heights practically all throughout their careers. This isn't a jab at anyone, if that wasn't already clear. I'm not comparing accolades, I'm comparing individual impact on their sport, specifically the way they've impacted how the game is played, and individual impact on their respective position. It's far from a perfect comparison, but its a lot more reasonable than people realize at first glance.
if watch game by game its hard not to keep giving him the mvp he has so many 4 and 5 game tds its crazy
Lamar Jackson is currently the best gridiron football player, period.
Lamar is that dude!
He is Him.
There’s absolutely no validity to that argument. Football has never been and will never be on the shoulders of one man. Players have to catch. Players have to block. Defense has to stop the opponents. Coaches have to come up with the most efficient scheme. If all those things don’t align, there won’t be any success. Anyone who watches the Ravens will know that coaching is BEYOND suspect in the playoffs. Last year against the Texans, first half was atrocious. Adjustments were made and it turned around. Why hasn’t anyone asked where were the adjustments vs KC? Zero adjustments. Yet, it’s easy to blame Lamar because “he’s the MVP QB” right? That’s LAZY and pathetic.
Lamar Jackson is the ONLY player whose success is measured exclusively by his playoff record.
Its a moved goalpost. If you notice, thats the only thing they use against him now. they can't say anything about his overall skill anymore. They dont use a playoff record for any other QB in the league or any QB that came before lamar.
@@melaninknowledge3658 It's the only goalpost move they got left, and they're all clinging to it, desperately hoping he doesn't get a ring, because they know after that they got nothing left.
Gotta be fair though, and point out that they did use it against Peyton before he got his 1st ring in '06, and it stopped after that. So Lamar isn't the only one.
@SwitchRecords45 even peyton didn't get nowhere as much hate and doubt as lamar, which is why nobody can't name me another 2x mvp QB that has faced as much disrespect and doubt as lamar.
It’s probably because seeing his dominance translate to the post season is the only thing he’s got left to prove. Same thing happened with Jokic, when you (deservedly) win multiple MVPs on a high seeded team but don’t make it to the final, it becomes a question. Not saying I necessarily agree with this standard, but there’s some precedence with it.
@@melaninknowledge3658 And on that we will agree because you're right, it's reached a real level of absurdity at this point. If you really look at it, he's only played in 3 postseasons as the starting QB. I kinda don't count his rookie season as it was clear he wasn't ready to be the starter yet, and he was only playing for an injured Flacco. Two other seasons he was injured. Maybe I'm crazy but I think going to the postseason only 3 times and getting to an AFC championship is pretty damn good. The careers of Brady and Mahomes have really skewed peoples perceptions of success in this league.
If we don't fix our defense, playoffs will be more of the same.
Agree
Unfortunately this is true.
In terms of total football player pound for pound he might be the greatest of all time.
Ravens flock 🐦⬛ LJ8 💜
by far the best QB i've watched
Why would anyone pay any attention to anything Stephen A says? Just a drama queen with a nose for money.
Man. If Lamar wins a SB, they are gonna make a movie about his career. i just hope Sandra Bullock doesn't play his mom.
I don’t really know if id say the ravens are in a better spot than last year tbh. Yeah the offense is by far the best it’s ever been and Lamar is playing on another stratosphere, but even as a Ravens fan that defense is looking horrendous.
Zach Orr’s gotta get it together cause having the dead last passing defense in the league in yards and td’s isn’t exactly ideal lol.
He'll be fine after this season. I think next year is their year
@ I mean they can’t just keep playing the “next year we got it” game tho. Already wasted like 2 years trying to force Greg Roman’s offense to work past its expiration date and dealing with injuries, then last year we threw our entire gameplan out the window in the AFC Championship.
I have 0 doubt that if the defense just steps up to be simply mediocre against the pass instead of abysmal then they could win now. Every year we don’t tho that window gets tighter.
I just keep thinking back to Peyton mannings first SB win, he had the leagues worst defense all year, when the playoffs started his defense transformed overnight, and even though Peyton didn’t play well that postseason his defense stepped up enough to win it all. Holding out hope.
Good video bro 👏🏿👍🏾
🫡🫡🫡🫡
they just gotta run the ball in big games and stick with it
Ok NFL has many QBs in the HOF , Superbowl would be wonderful there's many QBs will never have his stats ,Athlete & Entertainer .
Even as a Diehard Ravens fan and a big Lamar fan I have to admit that I didn't think Lamar could improve his game as much as he has from just a year ago. The way he's breaking down defenses before the snap and the accuracy he's throwing with is unreal. It's so satisfying to watch him play this year. Especially on third downs, he's been almost perfect!
Lamar didn't improve that much, it's just the scheme and offensive talent got better around him...
@@ezekwu Stop it. Baltimores O line isn’t even that good 😂
@@bigchungus1848 i wasn't talking about about the o-line, i was talking about the wrs and todd monken...
Bro, i was trying to find the word to describe the feeling of watching Lamar play and you got it is Satisfying. I really enjoy watching him play.
Sup bruh great video
Appreciate it brother!!
your great at making these vids! keep it up!!!
6:35 no one represents those words more than ray lewis. for anyone to say that it had to be him or ed reed. hes exactly right though.
Beautiful!! Thanks for this.
Glad you like it!
He da new PRIME TIME MR . Sanders pass the torch and not 2 Travis or Sheduer but #8
Now everybody rock with Lamar, we been here !!! 💯
Vick plays nothing like Lamar. Vick wasn’t as shifty as Lamar. He’s the only qb you see hurdling defenders and still strong enough to stiff arm them off too
You can’t tear down a man who makes God first.
Grow up
Well done on this video!
Appreciate you brother!
Hope someone reads this .. Lamar has been a top 10 qb the last 5 years (2-3) .. and out of 10 qbs he’s probably had the 9th best receiving core 😂 and still is 2nd in wins to only mahomes
the first thing Lamar said was they'll get a superbowl out of me. Bro I trust his word
That's my QB💜🖤
Lamar needs to beat Mahomes/ Chiefs in the playoffs... as simple as that to shut up the media.
"Reshaped the position?" Bro, Vick was doing this in 97'. Lamar is a little better which is farking crazy to say, but truth is truth and stats are stats.
Thank you for saving the receipts on this one. It was just a couple years ago the pundits obsessed over wanting to call him a running qb or qb. I think it's settled now. He's a QB period. No need to low key shade by calling him a running qb or athletic qb. Just keep it at QB1.
have any take you want. i dont mind. hes my goat. im also 40min away from M&T Bank Stadium.
Always people wish they could do it😂😂😂😂
His nickname is Era 8 but I call him Crazy 8 because I knew he would break the NFL numbers don't matter to him winning is everything and the 🏆 is in reach
@KRich yo Check your facts b/c Ed Reed & Ray Lewis only have two Rings not three ok Buddy 🗣️RAVENS 🐦⬛
Steve A S. is paid to hate on Lamar. Just look at the reason SAS gives to up another QB.
Lamar Jackson makes watching football more fun. His dynamic skill is nearly unbelievable. It's like watching all the athleticism of the old ABC Wide World of Sports but all in one person.
Lamar is amazing, he's done this with all the doubters! The naysayers are still scrutinizing his style they still don't want to be wrong!! He's been throwing the ball since high school! Lamar doesn't use his shoulder to throw the ball he flicks the ball! He's amazing! Ball young man ball😅😅😅😅
Ravens Flock Super Bowl 59 Champions 💜🖤
After the game against the Buccaneers, Baker said "I'm glad I don't have to play you twice anymore".
Come Zay fumbled the ball on the goal line. How is that lamar fault. If Zay got the td game would of been different
Lamar Jackson is already a HOF player … him getting a 3rd mvp would solidify it for sure.
But if he win the superbowl and mvp and SBMVP, He will go down as the greatest player. Yall not going accept it possibly till retire.
I hate listening to analysts, listen to players… he’s the most difficult and the one person every player hate to face. Lamar Jackson is the BEST player / athlete on the field every time.
I didn’t include numbers cause he’s a walking record breaker. He gets better every year and already done magic.
Lamar is 27 not 29
He was saying Mahomes was 29,not Lamar,Lamar is 27...
I am sick and tired of the media in putting Lamar Jackson down.
He brought new Dimension to football
ALL TALKING ABOUT LAMAR! Lamar doing Lamar Jackson!
w edit big dawg
The NFL has been looking at how to spread football overseas.. literally just schedule the Ravens against any NFC opponent in London or Germany & I guarantee you that they’ll fall in love.
I'm in the Netherlands waiting for the next Ravens game in Europe.
Washer and dryer next to the stove is crazy work!
@@elaunchasemusic im gonna miss these comments when i move in 2 months 🥹
As a Browns fan, Lamar is an absolutely terrifying player. He’s the MVP for a reason. Such a fantastic player who’s so fun to watch.
Dual threat is an understatement.
Had goosebumps the entire time I watched this. GOAT.
It's about damn time
A lot of the haters were Flacco fans. I understand about liking the QB that won a superbowl but was a lot of arguments and debates amongst Ravens fans for Jackson's first 3 years in the league. The shut them up after winning 2 MVP's but now they cling to fact he needs to win a superbowl.
I don’t think we saw the best of Lamar Jackson yet. For us to see that NFL has to allow Ravens to get good players
exactly, can you imagine Lamar with a Chase, Jefferson, or Hill, OMG!!!!!!!!
@@ezekwu Chase the perfect WR type for Lamar game
God please keep our Guys healthy.
Ion even watch football, but Lamar Jackson always makes me tune in. The guy is a beast, he’s different 1of1.
1:40 lmao patrick mahomes is no goat, Lamar is much better the last couple seasons. Patrick had a better start to his career though.
And before someone talks some stupid shit about rings, there are 53 players on a roster, coaches, and of course the refs that influence the game it's not a 1v1.
What was the 3 Super Bowl?
right.....
The part that everyone misses is that Lamar was playing like this in college. He didn’t have competent receivers so he had to run early in his career
Derrick Henry is right, as a Ravens fan ANYTHING BESIDES A SUPERBOWL is not enough. I don't care we made it the play offs...I expected that. I don't care we beat the Steelers in the wild card, I expected that...Bills...I expect to win that one too.
I say this year is the year Lamar shuts everyone that says he can’t win in the playoffs up, they have the team to do it this year, the Defense isn’t looking to good, but they held up for the most part against some good teams this year, all they gotta do is not let the other team score more then 20 and the Ravens could win every game
It was great Black QB's long before the NFL gave in.Records could have been shattered 50 years ago but the powers to be was the powers to be.
Should have waited two more months to make this vid, Lamar had a historic year. 3rd all time season passer rating, 40 plus tds 4 int, 4k in the air, 900 on the ground. The funny thing is there are still people out there right now that believe he still can’t throw? Some people just can’t admit they are wrong
If Baltimore had an elite kicker, they would breeze to a SB
Lamar's my fav
naw his throws it really goes down to calling plays to allow him to be him a threat in all phases only thing he missing is catching the ball he scares teams there defense when they mess up know he gonna work his magic as long as they let him do his thing
If Lamar can get 1 more MVP, 3 Superbowl rings, and Superbowl MVP hes John Unitas. Until that hes Lamar.
QBs like Lamar will be the standard for the NFL. He's evolving the position, unitas didn't.
He’s MV3 and will win the SB this year ❤
Lfg Ravens super bowl baby. It's been 12 years since the last one Lamar just turned 28 last super bowl flaccid was 28 before that 2000 dilfer was 28. This is our year!
We luv Lamar Jackson and Baltimore ❤❤
