Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was under serious consideration for another MVP trophy for the 2024 season. However, Jackson did not win the award and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen won the MVP award instead.
The Ravens star quarterback has already won two MVPs in his NFL career, but he has yet to reach the Super Bowl. Baltimore has one of the best rosters in the entire NFL and this could be the best chance they have to get to the Super Bowl with Jackson behind center. They will be one of the favorites to win Super Bowl LX this upcoming season. Can Jackson finally win it all and he is already one of the greatest quarterbacks the NFL has ever seen?
NFL Analyst Makes Stunning Statement About Baltimore Ravens Quarterback Lamar Jackson
Frank Schwab of Yahoo Sports is ranking each team in his power rankings before the 2025 NFL season. He thinks that the Ravens are the second-best team in the NFL entering the 2025 NFL season. Schwab made a stunning statement about Jackson in his latest team preview about Baltimore. He said,
“Lamar Jackson is one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. Already.
Get mad and dispute that if you want, but here’s a list of quarterbacks who have won two MVPs and also been first-team All-Pro at least three times: Tom Brady, Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Joe Montana, Aaron Rodgers, Johnny Unitas, Steve Young and Jackson. John Elway isn’t on that list. Neither is Dan Marino. Patrick Mahomes didn’t make the cut either (he has been first-team All-Pro twice).
Practically, that’s the list of the greatest quarterbacks ever. If you want to add an Elway, Marino or Mahomes that’s fine, but Jackson — who is just 28 years old and will continue to add to his Hall of Fame resume — belongs on the list too. He has been that good. But the other seven players on that very exclusive list above also have one thing in common: They all won an NFL championship.
Most all-time great athletes win a championship. But for now, Jackson is on a list with Barry Bonds, Elgin Baylor, Charles Barkley, Ted Williams, Barry Sanders, Ken Griffey Jr., Randy Moss, Connor McDavid, Ty Cobb, Dick Butkus, Marino and a few others whose greatness never resulted in a title.”
A lot of people think that Allen is a better quarterback than Jackson is. He has performed better in the postseason over the last five years than Jackson has. However, this could be the year where Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the team could be on the decline.
During the 2024 NFL season, the Ravens starting quarterback completed 66.7% of his passes for 4,172 yards, 41 touchdowns, and four interceptions. He also rushed for 915 yards on 139 carries and four touchdowns, along with averaging 6.6 yards per carry. There is a chance that Jackson could be in the MVP conversation once again during the 2025 NFL season for Baltimore. He is one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, but him saying he is one of the best ever is a far stretch until he wins a Lombardi Trophy.
