2) Lamar Jackson is just as dangerous with his arm as his legs

“He’s inaccurate.”

“He can’t be a true pocket passer.”

“He’s not a quarterback.”

“All that flashy run-first stuff won’t last long.”

“Defenses will figure him out.”

These might have been solid takes a year ago, but anyone still uttering them now simply hasn’t watched what Jackson has been doing. He’s proved each wrong with each week en route to consideration for the NFL’s MVP award.

Houston may have still believed some of these things coming into Baltimore, but they were sorely mistaken. Yes, Jackson can do some serious damage with his feet, but he can kill opposing teams with his arm too. His first two touchdown throws of the day were things of beauty, being placed where only the receiver could make a play.

Jackson has taken every criticism and worked to become a better passer. That dedication has paid off dividends this season with far better vision, footwork and accuracy than we saw from Jackson as a rookie. And perhaps that’s what makes him more dangerous than any other QB — there is literally no stopping him with the “pick your poison” mentality the Ravens offense is now capable of.
