By the way, Jackson has had a ton of talent in the NFL and we're all still waiting for something to happen.
If you want to question how healthy he can stay, that’s valid. But, when out there, he’s been a freak. 99 out of 100 MVP votes those seasons and the youngest dude in history to have 2.

And, the Ravens are +1000 as SB winners rn behind only Chiefs & 49ers. That’s entirely him.

I question his ability to beat teams with his arm in the playoffs. Good defenses tend to show up at playoff time and they scheme this guy so that he has to throw. So far, not so good.

The AFCCG loss last year was 100% on Monken. He got away from their identity & tried to do way too much. I think going up against Reid & Mahomes got in his head. If he’d called a similar game, they’d have been in the SB. No doubt in my mind.

Monken hasn't been around for most of Jackson's NFL career. He has been the same guy in the playoffs as Prescott. Monken was making a walk-on QB look good enough for 2 years in Athens. Jackson has zero excuses.

He's just a choke artist in the playoffs. Not an uncommon tale in the NFL.

Brock Purdy has won more playoff games than Jackson, and he's only been a starter for 1.5 seasons.

Average QBs have won superbowls... MVP is an individual award

Again, Defense wins championships.

I wonder how Milroe would fair on a less talented team. He might actually look better. He would just play yard ball, instead of trying to prove he’s a pocket passer.

Everybody’s entitled to their opinion. But, I’m telling you zero folks in NFL circles hold your view of Lamar.

Also a regular season award.

The regular season is not what's being criticized for Jackson. It's his inability to even compete against other playoff teams in the postseason.

I love Jalen but, at Alabama, he wasn't nearly as good a passer, especially downfield.

I have a nasty feeling that DeBoer is going to get the most out of Milroe in a way that Reese didn’t.

Milroe is a problem left over by Saban. Saban's major weakness was offense. He only had 2 real good OCs Kiffin and Sark and they got him his best QB talent and used them to the fullest. When they all left, the offense went down hill again.......I'll be glad when Milroe and his whole 'lank' BS is gone. Him and his stupid media tour can go suck somewhere else. Deboer offense will never be at full power till Milroe is gone. Saban created this problem and Deboer is probably going to fold to the pressure and play him one more year.

I hear that Hurts is mentoring Milroe big-time. Thats where the whole social media touring started. Hurts and Milroe are similar in a few ways.

He’s in that Jalen Hurts build. He’s not as big as Tebow and Newton were (6’3 and 6’5 and both over 240 lbs), and he’s not as slender and fast as Lamar is.
