WTF am I missing?

Lamar Jackson has been one of the most dynamic and talented quarterbacks in the NFL that I’ve ever witnessed. With that being said, the man has had opportunities and for whatever reason hasn’t been able to get the ultimate prize.

As for Lamar Jackson, the player today you can see how his skill sets are starting to diminish, especially as it relates to getting out of harms way while still in the pocket.

Unfortunately, for Lamar and Raven‘s fans, he is human just like the rest of us, and we are starting to see the physicality of the NFL combined with the natural decrease of physical strength and agility as you age, take its toll.

However, even with that being said, I would still consider him a top eight quarterback in the NFL

For what it’s worth that’s my take on Lamar Jackson past and present.

Lamar is honestly becoming underrated with how much hate he gets from not just non-Ravens fans, but many Ravens fans as well.

Not many QBs have won multiple MVPs, and he did not run for all those TDs.

He can also function from the pocket, and is basically what Michael Vick would have been had he focused on his profession as opposed to chilling with the homies and torturing dogs.

The Ravens usually win when Lamar plays and lose when he doesn't. They were terrible without him this season, and might have had the first draft pick in Pittsburgh next year if he didnt come back.

Would that have been something?

Hang out in Baltimore for a few hours. You will not think he is underrated.

if he can't run, he's outside the to 10 now IMO. My take on Lamar has always been that if his legs are 100% he'll have wide open WR's because teams fear his running so much, and it'll appear he's super accurate, but if he can't run, those windows shrink and he's not accurate enough as a pure pocket passer to consistently throw into those tight windows. IMO that's exactly what's happening now. As for the playoffs, it's simple they face the best teams with the best coaches and those coaches scheme ways to keep him in the pocket and be a pocket passer.

I hear you loud and clear blitz.
Down here on the Delmarva Peninsula, I would say predominantly ravens fans on the southern part of the peninsula as compared to the northern part mostly eagle fans.
Anyway, I live down on the southern part of the peninsula so I interact with Raven’s fans quite a bit.
Anytime that I would point out any type of not so favorable observation of Lamar the defense mechanism and pushback displayed is usually pretty intense lol

The Steelers ability to win can be summed up in one word: TURNOVERS

In their 8 wins they are +16 (2 giveaways, 18 takeaways)

In their 6 losses they are -6 (12 giveaways, 6 takeaways)

Yes, they CAN beat anyone IF they win the turnover battle. But take turnovers away and the Steelers are a bottom 8-10 team, look at their yardage rankings. I think the Steelers win their division, but it’s unlikely the teams they face in the playoffs will lose due to turnovers. Even if the break their playoff losing streak their luck will run out at some point.

And this is why throwing to the middle

There’s TOs in that middle area

The Steelers have been pretty good at not turning the ball over, tied for 9th in the NFL with 14. Unfortunately, the Lions lead the league with only 8.

Interesting stat for the last year we win when we don’t throw an int. We lose when we do.
