Lamar Jackson is a high-level NFL quarterback worthy of MVP consideration. Let me prove it to you.
Entering his sophomore campaign leading a Baltimore Ravens team on the heels of a first-round playoff loss, Jackson still had detractors following a promising second half of 2018 that ended in a tough way.
Though Jackson demonstrated the ability to get things done on the ground and through the air, when it mattered most, the Ravens offense sputtered against a solid San Diego Chargers defense.
While the Ravens finished the regular season 6-1 with Jackson as a starter, most pundits doubted Jackson’s ability to get things done through the air and pointed at the longevity of former rushing QB specialists like Michael Vick, who never played a complete season in the league, or Robert Griffin III, who has been plagued by injuries since his rookie season.
