The reigning NFL MVP, Lamar Jackson, is waking up this morning getting ready to play in his very first AFC Divisional playoff game. He’s about to do something that most scouts, general managers and most fake media types have darn near sworn he couldn’t do.
Well…let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Just before the 2018 NFL draft boyz were literally telling the Heisman Trophy winner to work out as a freakin’ wide receiver at the NFL Combine. A Chargers scout told ole boy to work out as a receiver with a straight face. An unnamed ACC coach said that Lamar had no shot at playing quarterback in the NFL. It’s crazy that he wouldn’t put his name on that statement. That’s called being a coward playboy. If you’re so sure about him not playing the position own it. Don’t hide and talk $100 worth of noise.
As a result of all of the playa hating from scouts, coaches and some media cats. He fell all the way down to the bottom of the First Round to the No.32 pick. Baltimore came in and swooped and here we are. He won the playoff game that boyz swore he couldn’t win and now what? They’ll keep moving the carrot because that’s what haters do.
Not only is he playing quarterback in the NFL but he’s doing what no other dun playing that position has ever done. He’s the first quarterback in league history to put up at least 5,000 yards passing and 2,500 yards rushing in his first three seasons. Sit on that for a minute.
He’s got the Ravens purring and ready to go today regardless of what the critics have said. Will they beat Buffalo at Buffalo? That’s a tall order for anybody with the way Josh Allen and Co. are playing right now.
Allen is a leading MVP contender himself and he’s the first quarterback to put up more than 4,500 yards passing, throw 35 touchdown passes and run for five touchdowns in a single season.
So Lamar winning or losing this playoff game has nothing to do with how good he’s been as a pro quarterback. He brings the excitement of Michael Vick all over again every time the ball is snapped. He’s made for TV playa and I’m here for it. Don’t hate the playa! Hate the game!
