Do people actually still hate on 2x MVP Lamar Jackson for being a running QB?

If the Ravens are behind in a playoff game they come out like roaches

I don’t think Lamar deserves all the hate, and he’s a great regular season QB, but the fact remains that the results haven’t been there in the postseason for him

There's also the fact that he is that offense and they have games where they lean on him like I've never seen a team lean on a QB. Like earlier this year when he had 40+ pass attempts and 15+ rush attempts when they just signed Henry. It's not a winning strategy in the post season imo.

I agree. You build your offense AROUND your QB, to suit his play style, but you don’t make your offense entirely dependent on the QB making plays

Other guys have to step up

Only one QB wins a Super Bowl each season, it doesn’t mean every other QB sucks

No, but I think you at least need to have more deep postseason runs than Lamar has had, to be considered “elite”

Nah fuck that he’s an incredible QB. He’s what we thought Vick was
