Lamar Jackson claps back at AFC title game flop: "Really does not care," is criticism valid? l SPEAK

I strongly believe that even if lamar was to win a Super Bowl, people would still find something about his game to criticize.

[Humphking]

Lamar played great in the Texans game, for some reason they didn't keep that gameplan and even with that it took a fumble from a rookie WR on the goal line and a questionable penalty at the right time for them to not be in the Superbowl.

[Whoa_dummy]

Critics can’t have it both ways. You can’t hold his MVP’s against him when he loses but disregard his MVPs when you rank guys above him. Which one is it?

[peterdavis]

There is no scenario where I take Dak over Lamar.

[Messigoat]

It’s just funny how the media always disrespect Lamar Jackson and don’t put him top 5 but the only player who has playoff success and win a superbowl is Patrick Mahommes. Josh Allen, Justin Herbert etc never have playoff success also.

[Teeyyy]

Crazy because Lamar had a playoff game where he ran for 200 yards and threw for 300 yards

[chrisbo_phtgrphy]

Montana, Manning and Brees had their first superbowl older than Lamar. Yall need to chill.

[brianbacon]

Lamar had 4 touchdowns against Houston in the playoffs last year, but the media acts like that game doesn't exist. 🤣

[DaKidGowie]

It's balance, Acho. Greg Roman had elementary pass schemes, and the Ravens had an underwhelming WR room. That made them 1-dimensional came playoff time. Under Todd Monken, Ravens had a new WR room, Lamar posted some of his best passing numbers, and Ravens still led the league in rushing. Yet, in the AFCCG they made themselves 1-dimensional by only giving our RBs 6 carries. Whereas, Mahomes had 39 pass attempts and Chiefs RBs combined for 25 carries. IT'S BALANCE‼

[antoinetatum]

Anybody who says Lamar is not a top 3 QB is being disrespectful

[evillamar]

This clown trying to compare Dak and Lamar but leave out Dak always had better weapons than Lamar. Lamar never had Ceedee Lamb and Amari Cooper type weapons.

[MrBooda]

To act like Pat had a crazy stat line. In that game 😅 is wild AF. 30/39 for 241😅. To Lamar's 20/37 for 271 😂 is wild. Like 🛑 clearly tampering was taking place. Not only that but Lamar accounted for most of rushing yards 👀☠️. Closer to the opposing team's RB stat line😅😂.

[skimonkey]

DeSean is right on about last year's playoff game. He was OUT COACHED!

[walterfrisbee]

Where is this energy for Trevor Lawrence?

[amaadfarris]

...when someone turns having a bye and making it to AFC title game into a negative I tune them out.

[tylerfarmer]

Acho does not do his research on the ravens. The frustration with Greg Roman was never about them running too much. Their issue was the lack of creativity and predictability in the passing game. And even if it was, they ran the ball not even 20 times in the afc championship, in a game that was never out of reach. The issue was them not sticking to their identity. So acho needs to do better research and understand better what the actual issue was

[tidytymarleywhattheycallme]

Lamar Jackson is not the whole team he was running for his life the whole game... His 2 biggest highlights was him fighting for his life and making something happen

[dwightwordlaw]

That whole “you didn’t win silver you lost gold” hits hard.

[nikodasilvio]

Lamar Jackson has actually been to an AFC title game. Dak has never been to an NFC title game. That’s the difference

[CPryor]

Coachin staff went out there and abandoned the run game in afc game for ravens lol I don’t understand
