Who cares? He’s the current MVP hosting a home AFCCG. Keep grasping onto whichever straws you want to.

Pretty sure I'm not the one that said that a QB running the football is "fundamentally a cognitive skill and not a physical one" while trying to convince folks that Lamar's out there winning with massive brainpower. A veritable football savant, no less.
If either of those things were true, early 30s Lamar should be a BETTER running QB, to say nothing of having unlocked the mysteries of the universe when it comes to deciphering defensive schemes as a pure passer.
This is your disseration, my guy. It's not my job to defend it for you.
Lamar Jackson is a dynamic athlete - the greatest to ever play the position. And because of that, he's an absolute pain in the ass to play defense against. He's also dumb as a bag of hammers and because of that he's been this unholy pain in the ass for 6 years and has only just now won his 2nd playoff game despite having never even had a below average defensive team behind him in the post-season. The one year he had a mediocre defense, he missed the dance entirely.
The Ravens have a damn good team. And a damn difficult quarterback to deal with. But I'm not going to sit here and pretend he's something he isn't because even the
Ravens didn't believe this shit for the last 2 years when they weren't wanting to commit to him long-term.
And 'Savant' doesn't happen after 5 years as a starter. You're that guy or you're not. He's not.
