You're in part discounting the style of offense they're running in Baltimore. It's not your traditional pocket passer offense. Is there a quarterback in the league who runs the read option or RPO better than Jackson? He might be the best ever to run this style of offense.No, I'm not. Hes an average pocket/passing QB. It's obvious and significant.
Jackson has the highest TD% of any active quarterback in the NFL... better than Mahomes, Rodgers, Brady, etc... the best.
Jackson has the highest rushing yards per attempt of any active player in the NFL.
Jackson is excelling as a passer (within the passing style of his team's offense) and as a runner. His best receiver too is a 260 pound TE. Not much more could be asked of Jackson at this point.
Part of it too is some fans just don't want to admit how talented Jackson is because that means admitting another draft day miss.People don't want to give up on their takes from when he was coming out. Ask yourself how many times you've read "I was wrong" on here. Just doesn't happen and people were wildly wrong about Jackson. Remember the "hes a WR" talk!! Guy has been an MVP or MVP candidate when he's on the field but some pro level people thought he was a gadget player.
The next thing is aesthetics and looks. People here have watched Brady and Bledsoe for 30 years so Lamar is a shock in more ways than one. That's a big factor. People are creatures of habit and Lamar ain't what they're used to.
I'm sure I could go with more but lastly none of these posters know the first thing about the Ravens offense and what Jackson is tasked with accomplishing. I mean I've been here for a few years and I hear very little about our own X & O's so again people here don't really know what they're talking about. They pick up narratives based on previous beliefs and squeeze them like they're trying to get water out of a rock.
