I don't understand how people ever thought these guys were near the same plane. They are simply different levels of player. Brock Purdy has shown me more in the post-season and in tough game scripts than Lamar Jackson. If the Ravens defense doesn't completely dominate, Baltimore loses.

Scott Kacsmar wrote an interesting column about Sunday's games. Heavy on an analytical perspective, he noted that Lamar:
Lamar was 1-3 against the high-flying Chiefs of 2018-21, only winning in 2021 against their worst defense in a game where he still threw multiple picks and needed CEH to fumble in game-winning field goal territory. Lamar is 3-14 against playoff teams that score more than 21 points against his team. Why more than 21? Mahomes led the Chiefs to at least 22 points in 15-of-16 career playoff games before Sunday. Why not include 21 points? Because scoring 21 points is a below-average scoring figure for every NFL season since 2007. Finally, Lamar was 0-3 in the playoffs when teams scored more than 13 points, already losing 23-17 to the Chargers and 17-3 to Buffalo in a game where he threw a pick-six. He doesn't come right out and say it (well, he almost does) but it's clear he thinks that Lamar is a decent QB who happens to play on a team with a great defense. You talk about damning Lamar with faint praise. He points out that in EVERY year that Lamar makes the playoffs, Lamar leads his offense to his lowest point total of the season. Further, this is Lamar's 4th wire-to-wire loss in the playoffs. A wire-to-wire loss is a loss in which the QB's team never leads. Kacsmar doesn't say it but Lamar really is a running back who is playing at the QB position. Article is here: https://captaincomeback.blog/2024/01...ionship-games/ It's well worth a read. Started perusing his website and it looks worth examining in more detail. |

Lamar can't throw a good ball
Allen can't maintain control of the ball Burrow can't stay on the field to even touch the ball Next |

People were astounded that the Ravens put the ball into the hands of the 2023 MVP in a playoff game. Meanwhile Christian McAffery is rolling in the playoffs, catching passes and playing on a busted shoulder and a tweaked hamstring.

It's plain to see he isn't good enough. It's not like Jackson is a rookie, he's started 92 games in the league and is the same age as Mahomes.
As his physical talents start to decline with age his deficiencies as a passer are going to become more prominent, not less. This year was probably his chance. |

Chiefs lead 35 to 24 in the 3rd and lost 36 35 but they weren't up by 10 at the half so it is kind if a misleading stat. So at least in that game he did do just that

It was 21-17 at halftime. The stat he mentioned is the Ravens have 0 wins trailing by 10+ points at halftime in particular.

Well yeah. But it's a misleading stat to make it seem they have never come back from double digits down in the 2nd half.

Spags blitzed the **** out of him all game and they didn't mix in any 2nd down runs to hold him back.

If you had to win a game tomorrow, there's 10+ other quarterbacks in this league you'd rather have. How this guy keeps getting compared to Mahomes and keeps winning MVP's is beyond me

But they're stuck with Lamar. They paid him $80 million this year with a super low cap hit, which means a bunch of that money on the signing bonus is gonna show up in his cap hits later on. They have to wait until after the 2026 season to cut him, and even then it requires eating $35 million of dead cap. |

Though in fairness I do not think he played a terrible game. The under throw to Lively in triple coverage was the one glaring mistake. Spags out coached them. Gave them personnel packages and blitz's they were not used to seeing. That is for sure. But they had an oppurtunity. Patrick kept them off the field in the first half they did not establish a rythm. Never figured out if they could run the ball. They moved the football in the second half but a lot of stupid plays not all of which were done by Jackson. |

Whenever Pat is asked about an upcoming game/matchup, he always says "I'm looking forward to the challenge."
When Lamar was asked about playing Mahomes, he said, "I don't want to play him at all." Kudos for honesty, kid, but champions don't think/talk like that. |
