Title: Lamar Jackson is 2019 MVP
Post by: Irongrip400 on December 03, 2018, 05:38:51 PM
Not much more to say. He’s a great athlete but once the magic wears off he’s done. I guess they figure the 3-4 years they get out of him and do some winning is better than what Flacco would give them.

Will have to see him next year.  You give these defensive coordinators a full off season and they just pick these new qb's apart especially running qb's with bad accuracy.

From what I have seen so far, he is head and shoulders better than Vince Young.  Not even close.

Vince Young was awesome his rookie year as well.

Vince completed 51.5 percent of his passes as a rookie, with 2199 yards, 12 TDs, and 13 INTs in 13 starts.  Not awesome at all.

We just saw what next year will probably look like for Lamar Jackson.  The defensive schemes LA used against Baltimore in the playoffs will be all Jackson will see next year until he overcomes it.

Mario Williams. 

The competition and his numbers provide context.  It's like saying a crappy bodybuilder won his division without mentioning that there were only two other competitors who also looked like crap. 

Regardless, I don't see a hint of Vince Young in Lamar Jackson.  Vince Young wasn't even a great college QB IMO.  He was a beast in the "national championship" game against USC, but didn't have near the ridiculous numbers Jackson had in college.  Nor was he anywhere near as impressive as an NFL rookie.

Lamar might have looked better in college than Vince but he played for Louisville in a much easier conference.

He didn't just look better.  He was better.  By a lot.  Go check his numbers.  Off the charts. 

I'm not a big believer in conferences telling me how good a player is.  I believe what I see.  For example, the University of Hawaii doesn't produce many NFL players, especially since June Jones left in 2009, but I know NFL talent when I see it.  Like WR John Ursua.  He will play on Sundays if he can stay healthy. 

Yes the SEC produces the lion's share of NFL players, because the best high school players in the country flock there, but a good player is a good player.

Vince Young had a much better NFL body especially for a scrambler. Lamar Jackson is too skinny for a running QB in the NFL.  His career will be like Robert Griffin lll.  Expect a major injury next season.

Hey I had a disagreement with someone on here about RGIII when he first came out and said I thought he was big enough.  Turned I was dead wrong.  lol 

Despite that, I'll say again that 6-3, 212 is big enough, particularly with the rules protecting today's QBs.  They might as well be wearing skirts.   

Now watch him tear up his knee is week one.  lol

Yeah, for a QB who is a pocket passer like Tom Brady the rules protect them much more now.  When they leave the pocket they get hurt and the more they run the odds add up.

I agree although even when they leave the pocket they are not really treated like a running back.  You have to ease up if the QB makes any kind of attempt to slide.

Who are those "many people"?  He's definitely not the best college player I've ever seen.  Not even close.  That would be Barry Sanders, who looked like a video game his last year.  I can think of numerous college players who looked better than Vince Young.    

I agree numbers aren't everything and can be taken out of context, but I watched both of them play.  In this instance, the numbers and the eye test confirm that Jackson was a freak.  Not so much for Vince Young, except for the game against USC where he looked like Super Man.

i assume the only game you watched was the usc game because he looked like a freak in every game, the michigan game where lloyd carr said that was a full year before the usc game

you are the first person i've ever heard claim jackson looked better, young went number 3 overall jackson was the last pick of the first round and even then was considered a reach by most so it's a safe bet the nfl guys agree with me :)

You are the first person I've ever heard claim "many people" believe Vince Young was the greatest player in college football history.  Nonsense.  Outside of the USC game, Vince really didn't touch what Jackson accomplished at Louisville.   

Wait, you're using a player's draft position to determine whether a player was a stud college player?  That is laugh out loud funny.  In the Niners thread you're trying to claim there is no reasonable dispute that Brady is the GOAT. The same Brady who was drafted in the 6th round.  lol  Yeah those "NFL guys" are all over it.   lol

outside of the usc game?  ah dude you do realize that was the national title game against a usc team espn was comparing to the best teams of all time?  what jackson won the heisman?  everybody knows vince should've won and jackson's competition was no reggie bush

the draft position means the nfl thought young was better, we are comparing them as college players

let me know when jackson wins 5 super bowls so we can compare him to brady being a 6th rounder, heck both were better college players than brady it's a different game

Draft position is pretty meaningless.  Where was Russell Wilson drafted?  Why didn't Pat Mahomes go no. 1 overall?  Why was Alex Smith taken first overall and Aaron Rogers late in the first of the same draft?  Yeah those "NFL guys" are money.   ::)  

In any event, give me a link or identify the "many people" you are talking about who said Vince Young was the greatest player in college football history.

so you're going to use the few exceptions to the rule to prove your point?  for every russel wilson there are dozens of nate peterman's

i gave you one name, lloyd carr a national champion and has coached with and against some amazing players including coaching tom brady, what coincidence michigan fell into mediocrity when he was forced into retirement

also FS1 analyst joel klatt said the same thing on speak for yourself

they said he was the best college qb they ever saw

It's not a few exceptions and there is no rule.  Those "NFL guys" are wrong every year.  They get a lot right, but miss horribly in every draft.  You are the one who used draft position to support an argument that Vince Young was a great QB.  Horrible argument.

young was a great college qb, that is not debatable

he was drafted much higher than jackson and was rated higher than jackson as a prospect, as evidenced by his draft spot

you haven't looked because you know they don't exist, you argue for the sake of arguing

Draft position is irrelevant, but that's clearly going over your head.  

I'm not looking for something you pulled out of your rear end.  YOU are the one making the comparison.  I frankly don't give a rip.  I was just asking you to support the claim you made about "many people" who say Vince Young was the best college football player in history, which is obviously exaggerated.

I have no idea if Jackson will be a great pro, but then again I'm a mature adult who is capable of keeping an open mind.  I would never make a promise about something that is completely outside of my control and based on factors that I could not possibly predict.

The fact you think you can predict, with certainty, how an NFL career will turn out says all we need to know.  

Also, there are many things that dictate draft position:  ability, production, conference, off-the-field issues, measurables, combine performance, private workouts, who else is in the draft at the player's position, etc.  More reasons why draft position does not dictate whether a player is or will be a great player.  

I remember when JaMarcus Russell was drafted first overall, in large part because of his measurables and the fact he could throw a football nearly the length of the field from knees.   ::)  I can't believe I'm even debating this.   :-\

when a QB needs a high school offense, isn't an accurate passer, seems to have the IQ of a potato, and his biggest weapon is his legs yes i can predict how his career will turn out, he has zero qualities of a long term franchise QB

young was the same way but he was the better prospect coming out of college

i could've told you jamarcus would bust too, he was not the same type of qb as jackson and young their only similarity is being black

Played excellent and was voted AFC player of the week. I'm not sold on Lamar being an upper tier quarterback just yet....But he's only 22 years old with a lot of upside.

And for those people that think he's stupid, based on the way he talks....he's a country boy from deep south. Loads of smart, successful people living down that way talk with that sharp southern drawl. I've said it once and I'll say it again. You CANNOT be stupid and have a successful NFL career, especially not at the QB position. Lamar looks like he's going to be a good one but it's still too early to really tell. I worry about his fumbling the most.

They have put all of their time and energy into football so of course they will know plays in a playbook which are basically the same with every team just terminology is different.  I used to live in Vegas and met many former and current pro athletes and most are dumb as stumps.  Smart people do not piss away millions with no thought of the future.  One of the tells of an unintelligent person is the lack of future thinking and impulsive decision making.

"Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson led the charge and became the first player in the Super Bowl era to amass more than 200 yards passing and at least 150 yards rushing in a regular season game. Jackson completed 21 of 33 pass attempts for 236 yards. He also had 19 carries for 152 yards rushing with a touchdown."

Lamar is special. He's only 22 years old and only going to get better. His performance against Seattle was a statement game. I always worry about him taking hits while running the ball but man....he is so fast in the open field. And to see it live as opposed to watching it on TV....Crazy fast. Not to mention that he is a good person, a good kid. Humble and always hard working. I love the future of my Ravens moving forward...

Runs too much.  Will end up like RG3 and other running QB's who start breaking down physically.  He is good right now but he will not be doing this 2-3 years from now.

I somewhat agree. I cringe sometimes when he takes off and chooses to run between the tackles. But he's more electrifying in the open field than Vick or RG3 ever was. If he stays healthy, he definitely will run for 1200 yards or more this season.

It takes a defense and pressure on Brady.  Buffalo showed that.

I agree he has to be more accurate. But usually a high accuracy is something you can't teach. But if he can eventually stay between 62%-68%, I'd be happy with that and that would translate to success for him. But he's hell on wheels in the open field. You have to see it in person at a game to believe how lightening fast he is.

Yeah..the problem is that the Ravens have an average pass rush, at best. Brady is exactly the type of QB that will make you pay dearly if you give him too much time in the pocket. Acquiring Marcus Peters last week was a great move but even if you have elite talent in your secondary, any QB in the NFL can find the open man if given too much time to throw.

That's good.  If he is going to be a long term QB in the league he has to cut back on his running.  QB's like him usually 2 or 3 years and fizzle out or get injured.  Vince Young, Cam Newton and RGIII come to mind.

Why? Because of injury? If yes, I would agree with you. But I've noticed that the vast majority of QB's injured this year were standing in the pocket instead of running. As far as Lamar goes, you have to be able to hit him first before you can injure him. That's a tall order when he's running in the open field. He's faster than Kaepernick, RG3, Cunningham, or Vick ever was.

No doubt. I’m not sure at what point the fans start to “believe” because we’ve all seen this movies before with Vick, RGIII, Cam etc. Unless, we haven’t really seen it before and he’s a special athlete.

I like your optimism. But a lack of a pass rush is the Achilles heel for the Ravens. Only 2 sacks against the worst offensive line in football and a rookie QB. Tough tests coming up. Texans, Rams, 49ers, Bills. If they go 3-1 or better during that stretch then yes...they are a legitimate contender for the AFC title.

I don’t want to jynx it, but with the secondary they have the pass rush doesn’t need to be great. Although if they start gelling, it’s over for opposing offenses. Michael Pierce going down early in the game didn’t help either.

Bro, I don't care how good your secondary is, if you give the QB all day to throw, I don't care if it's Tom Brady or Tim Tebow, he will find the open man and make you pay.

I realize the pass rush doesn't have to be great, but it's not even good. It's barely average unless they send multiple blitzes behind the D-linemen. But I like your optimism...I'm hoping the D can keep improving from week to week moving forward.

I'm likely going to the Steelers game which is the last one on the schedule in Baltimore. Hopefully, the Ravens have at least a #2 seed locked up with nothing to play for.(except for the #1 seed) Going to a game at M&T is a great experience. I loved it when I was younger with season tickets. The only complaint I ever had was the traffic leaving the city. A lot of times, I had to leave by the end of the 3rd quarter to guarantee no traffic but that compromised the amount of money spent on the tickets. Have a great time and Go Ravens!

It's a week to week league. Buffalo Bills will be tough on the road. And never count out the Steelers. They could wind up winning 10 games and sneaking in and making noise. Great front seven on defense.

Lamar did take some hits running inside. I would prefer not see these designed inside runs by Lamar, moving forward. Too risky.

It's a common practice for skill position players to reward their O-linemen.  I don't think this says anything about his fiscal responsibility.  If he's banging out kids with multiple women, hanging out at clubs all night, and spending his money on personal bling, then you'll have a point.

Are you seriously out of your mind? In 2021, Lamar is going to command the mother of all contracts. He will make somewhere close to 30 million annually with as much as 100+ million guaranteed. He is going to make enough money for his next couple generations. His O-line earned those watches.

Are you aware that he's leading the NFL in touchdown passes? He's not just a running QB. Know your facts about my QB before you speak up. He's a good kid who's humble and works very hard to be in the position he's in. He doesn't have kids or an entourage. His manager and agent is his mother.

The Ravens will not wait until the end of the 2021 season to extend him. He will be extended after the 2020 season. He passed for over 3,000 yards and 36 PASSING touchdowns. That doesn't sound like a running QB to me despite his rushing yardage.

Steve Young and Randall Cunningham were running QB's and both had long, prolific careers. Michael Vick also played 10 years so your theory is incorrect.

True, the Ravens will probably extend him early which is usually a mistake.  Remember Joe Flacco?  Steve Young is the only one you mentioned who ever won a Super Bowl.  Randall Cunningham and Michael Vick are perfect examples of players the sports media said would take over the NFL but were actually disappointments.  Cunningham actually had more success when he went to the Vikings (got to the NFC Championship Game) than he did in his running days of Philly.  After Vick's first season beating the Packers at Lambeau Field he never had that kind of success again.

Lamar Jackson may end up being better than all of them but let's not anoint him yet.  He hasn't won anything yet.

The Ravens didn’t extend Flacco early, just the opposite happened and it cost them. I say Lamar looks to be checking all of the right boxes at this point, and I hope he has a long career. Check his stat line for this year. If you went passing stats alone he’d still make the Pro Bowl. I wasn’t a believer either, check my initial thread title of this thread.  ;D

He had a great year and should be MVP this year I am not disputing that.  I still want to see what he does in the playoffs and the coming seasons.

True, the Ravens will probably extend him early which is usually a mistake.  Remember Joe Flacco?  Steve Young is the only one you mentioned who ever won a Super Bowl.  Randall Cunningham and Michael Vick are perfect examples of players the sports media said would take over the NFL but were actually disappointments.  Cunningham actually had more success when he went to the Vikings (got to the NFC Championship Game) than he did in his running days of Philly.  After Vick's first season beating the Packers at Lambeau Field he never had that kind of success again.

Lamar Jackson may end up being better than all of them but let's not anoint him yet.  He hasn't won anything yet.

If you measure disappointment by not winning a super bowl, then yes, I would agree with you. But I would not call Vick and Cunningham's careers as unsuccessful. My Opinion.

I don't buy any bullshit that he will be a perennial poor performer in the playoffs.

It takes time for them to gain the maturity and slow the game down when the playoffs happen.

Shit, even Peyton Manning got too hyped up.

He'll be great next year.

Definitely not his finest hour and the three turnovers were a killer, but still was 31-56 for 365, 1 TD, 2 INTs, and ran 20 times for 143 yards. 

For the season:  265 for 401, 3127 yards, 36 TDs, 6 INTs, 176 carries for 1206, 7 TDs. 

He basically did this season what he was doing in college.  Pretty impressive.

I don't see much of a comparison.  Kaepernick never did what Jackson has done.  I've now watched Jackson play several games in the NFL.  Jackson is head and shoulders better than Kaepernick.  More accurate, better pocket presence, better decision making, faster, more mobile, etc.  Not even close.

2 NFC title games and a superbowl to be exact. I'm inclined to agree with you on him not attaining the same level again. I'm not a Lamar hater, but the NFL has a way of adapting and adjusting to the latest flash in the pan.

Yes I watched pretty much all of Kaepernick's games with the Niners.  I also saw him when he was at Nevada whenever they played in Hawaii.  Great athlete, but I was never impressed with his QB abilities at Nevada and thought he would have to make a believer out of me in the NFL.  He did for a couple seasons at SF, but even at his best he was not as good as what I saw from Jackson this season.  If you actually watch both of them play, there really isn't much of a comparison.  Kaepernick was a one read and run QB.  Jackson can actually go through his progression and perform exceptionally well in the pocket.

Adjust to what?  It's not like if you put 8 men in the box and take away his running lanes that he cannot beat teams through the air.  His pocket presence, decision making, and accuracy are terrific.  The only thing that will slow him down is injuries IMO.

Teams eventually adjusted to Colin Kapernick to the point that he eventually was demoted to play behind Blaine Gabbert.

They adjusted to Kaepernick because he was unable to go through his progression, wasn't nearly as accurate, and had horrible pocket presence.  So if you take away his ability to run, he is a very average QB.  Not true of Jackson.

I like your enthusiasm, being that I'm a Ravens fan. But I wasn't too reassured about his ability to step it up in big games after watching that playoff loss. Didn't like his body language throughout the entire game, much less the stupid grinning on the sideline after each turnover he made.

I'm not enthusiastic.  I'm a lifelong Niner fan.  Just calling things as I see them. 

I wouldn't judge him too harshly on one game, when he played lights out all season, beat some really good teams, etc.  If your biggest complaint is his body language on the sidelines, you're in pretty good shape.  lol

What Lamar needs is a big receiver to complement Hollywood Brown. AJ Green from the Bengals would be perfect because he has absolutely owned the Ravens for the last few years. I doubt the Bengals would trade him to a division rival.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson named 2019 NFL MVP
By Nick Shook
Around The NFL Writer

The NFL's consensus choice for Most Valuable Player has officially assumed the throne.

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was named the 2019 NFL MVP on Saturday at NFL Honors in downtown Miami. Jackson earned all 50 first-place votes, making him only the second unaimous MVP in NFL history (Tom Brady, 2010).

Jackson was a source of pure spectating delight in 2019, shredding opposing defenses while leading the league in touchdowns with 36 passing scores and seven trips to the end zone on the ground. Jackson threw for 3,127 yards and posted a 113.3 passer rating, with the latter mark exceeding the average rating of an MVP quarterback (107.8 ) en route to the AFC's top seed.

That's not all, of course. Jackson rushed for 1,206 yards, breaking Michael Vick's single-season record for a quarterback in the process and obliterating the average mark for an MVP quarterback (131). He more than tripled the average mark for rushing touchdowns with his seven scores.

Jackson's league-leading marks in passing touchdowns and quarterback rushing yards made him just the second quarterback to do so in NFL history, joining Hall of Famer Steve Young, who did so in 1994 with nearly 1,000 less rushing yards. Jackson's 1,206 yards also landed him at sixth place in the entire NFL in rushing yards.

Jackson became the youngest quarterback to ever win MVP at 22 years, 358 days old (on Dec. 31, 2019) while leading the NFL's No. 1 scoring offense (33.2 points per game). With Jackson at the controls, Baltimore finished first or second in five key offensive categories: points per game, total yards per game, rushing yards per game, big plays per game and red-zone percentage. Jackson also posted the second-highest passing touchdown percentage (9.0) in the Super Bowl era (minimum 350 attempts).

Jackson's season could only get better if his Ravens were able to reach the Super Bowl. Baltimore's 14-2 finish didn't carry over into the postseason, as the Ravens were eliminated by the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Divisional Round.

His MVP makes him the first Ravens player to win the award.

I somewhat agree. I cringe sometimes when he takes off and chooses to run between the tackles. But he's more electrifying in the open field than Vick or RG3 ever was. If he stays healthy, he definitely will run for 1200 yards or more this season.

This thread didn't age well. LOL.

The Ravens fanbase has completely turned on Lamar. He should've gotten his extension after the 2020 season when he was first eligible. He had the most leverage at that point. Back to back 1000 yard rushing seasons, MVP in 2019, coming off his first career playoff win.....Both sides are at fault, to be honest. I think there's a good chance he sits out the entire 2023 season.

Just simply mind blowing to me that he's not represented by an agent. Just shit stupid. He plays the most important high profile position on the field. What about endorsements he's missed out on along the way over the years by not having an agent? He ain't too bright. And he acts very immature when he posts on social media at times.

All true, especially the last paragraph. I’ve had a guy like him who used to work for me. Not that I pay anywhere near that kind of money, but just the same sense of entitlement and then doesn’t perform. It’s an ignorance that keeps him from seeing how short sighted he’s being.

After Purdy's meltdown last week and Jackson throwing 5 TDs on Sunday, it's pretty much a done deal.  I think Purdy had a better season, but voters are prisoners of the moment and place a lot of emphasis on the last few weeks of the season.
