    142 yards isn’t offense.

    I think the ravens really dumb down the offense for Lamar Jackson. If his first option isn’t open, he just runs, which is great until he eventually gets injured and is done by the age of 30 like cam Newton.

    At this point, dumb it down or not, Lamar is the MVP

    He doesn't pass for that many yards, but man he makes those TD passes that count. I agree about all the running though. He is putting him at risk for tearing an ACL like Watson has done twice, and yeah, putting himself at risk for a much shorter career because of it.

    Watson gets my vote for the better hairstyle.

    Put Watson behind the Raven's line and have the Raven's coach in his ear, he does just as good as Jackson. Put Jackson on the Texans and he doesn't do as well as Watson does.

    A damn good coach? Really? Because I seen to recall that the Ravens were getting set to fire harbaugh until Lamar Jackson saved him from losing his job last year.

    Both Jackson and Watson have the it factor. Dont know about Mahomes but there is no reason to doubt he has it

    Baltimore is definitely a better franchise. They build around stregnth. First Lewis, now Jackson. They were cautious then decided they hit wall with Flacco and whole team from GM to coach to players adjusts. Changing qb to Super Bowl favorites going into playoffs. Unreal

    There is an attitude there. It starts with Newsome. Great pre merger franchise. Sucky NFL franchise till Newsome

    Combined playing and general management, arguably greatest total nfl career

    Yeah, but that only saves your job for so long. The Ravens had missed the playoffs 3 years in a row before 2018. And they started 2018 bad until Lamar was inserted into the lineup.

    Does he have to be?

    Harbaugh has put Lamar in the perfect position for Lamar to do what Lamar is great at doing. Whether that is passing or running, he is getting it done and that’s what you want your QB to do.

    History says this won’t hold up but there’s always that one player that changes that. Lamar could be that one player. He’s really been that good this year.

    Right now, Lamar is better but I love Deshaun

    I didn't say he's not a good passer, I said he's not in Watson's league when it comes to passing

    No he doesn't have to be. Lamar is a deserving MVP candidate.

    @Mr. Clutch

    I never said he was as good as Watson as a passer. I said it factor. Personality
