Lamar Jackson wasn't, isn't, and never will be better than Patrick Mahomes

[Wallcrawler]

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.

RBQBMVP.

Enjoy the superbowl from your couch, Lamar.

Lamar panicked, this game was absolutely about him not being able to make plays in the clutch. No matter what his apologists say, this loss is on him.

Lamar isn’t even on Josh Allen/Burrow’s level.

To be fair, I can't think of another running back who could have done better.

Patrick has the clutch gene, and Jackson has the anti-clutch gene. I think everyone recognized that if we got the lead, he wouldn't be able to bring his team back. He just can't do it.

I'd probably give Zay Flowers some credit here.

I was really proud of the refs for the taunting call. It seems like we never get those, and as the play ended I was shouting at the TV screen to call it. I'm delighted that they did.

I love the way threads get resurrected on this forum. **** you Lamar you never catching Pat

I think Lamar is roughly in the Dalvin Cook/Chris Johnson level of running backs.

RB doesn't matter when it comes to titles, though.

He needs to make it to the track before thinking about catching Pat.

Is he even a franchise QB? Seriously. Put Josh Allen on that team....put Herbert on that team...put Burrow on that team...put Stafford on that team....etc..

[FloridaMan88]

Below Mahomes’ personal level of untouchable greatness.

I’d put the follow QB’s… just in the AFC… over Lamar.

Josh Allen
Joe Burrow
CJ Stroud
Suckbert
Trevor Lawrence
Aaron Rodgers

No, he’s a running back playing QB.

Lamar has to own this one. Baltimore defense held Mahomes to 17 points. Lamar threw a ball into triple coverage when he didn’t need to. Got away with a couple of other INT balls earlier in the game. Got away with fumbling deep in his own territory.
