Lamar ain’t that guy. Stop it. Got the deal he wanted, got the free agents he wanted, got the freedom to control the offense as he saw fit, had yet another stellar defense but with an offense to match, the team was healthy for the entire year for seemingly the first time, hit on your draft picks and had internal development from your second and third year players, got a first week bi and home field and you still lost in embarrassing fashion largely due to Lamar’s play. It took you having the best year imaginable due to health, QB play being down or outright injured and even got to play a rookie led Houston Texans team that wasn’t even projected to make the playoffs this past offseason as your first opponent and still lost. Your teams best case scenario happened and you ended up in the AFCCG whereas the Chiefs had the worst case scenario and ended up where they always do - the AFCCG. Being the guy is having the ability to rise above the circumstances that are outside of your control but Ravens’ fans seem to take the opposite approach of coddling their 260 million dollar man unless everything is setup perfectly for him. What’s the excuse now? Health? Receiver depth? Location? Coaching? Was their pillow not fluffed enough times and that’s why they fell short yet again?

Ngl you cooked

​@@pristinedecision1877Litterally won the league MVP first year afterbhebgot his contract. You're opinion is mute and irrelevant.

@@pristinedecision1877 you can easily criticize the other 31 teams for not being successful this Year as well. So, I’m not finna take you seriously. Patrick been in the same system for 6 years. Can u say the same thing for Lamar? Come on my man. You taking too much time out yo hands to simply be harsh to one player.

Completely agree. The real question is: Can we keep Monken as OC for the next 3-4 years? I hope so.

It is amazing how lazy the national media is in regards to this fact. I thought the players survey ranking Harbaugh 20th would have fueled some discussion, but noooooooo.

Plus the AFC West is a far weaker division until this year.

That division is equivalent to the AFC East that TB12 was *DOMINATING* for years in New England. That is definitely *ADVANTAGEOUS* for the Patrick Mahomes led Chiefs as well. The same difference. Lamar plays in the toughest division the AFC North in comparison. Alex Smith even had a 50-26 career record with the Chiefs under Andy Reid. Albeit 1-4 playoffs record. But he made the playoffs 4 out of 5 seasons. @@seanswinton6242

he’s not even a good rah rah guy either. 20th ranked by players.😂 I’m sure the Ravens decided to tank when harbaugh started dancing in the locker room.

I see a hitch

There is definitely some personal resentment there. Their social media exchange is well documented. It's time for Shannon to let it go. Not every player is going to listen to you bad mouth them still respect you.

Makes you wonder why the Vault insists on covering him every day? It's a fairly good bet that Shannon doesn't even watch the games or study the tape. Why keep validating his opinion by responding to the ridiculousness every show? HE does it because it creates engagement for him. Lamar haters like his posts and videos and Lamar defenders go screaming at him about how wrong he is. The Vault would do the flock a favor if they stop pushing his nonsense. I follow Ravens centric content creators almost exclusively. I'd never hear about Sharpe's antics without this podcast talking about it everytime!

He did the same with Donovan McNabb before that and when to 3 straight NFC Championship games and one Super Bowl once T.O. showed up!

His real nickname is 'Lego' bro. You didn't know?

Exactly!

I've personally never seen Shannon say something good about Lamar that didn't come with a "but" or wasn't a backhanded compliment. His "good" comments about Lamar always go.... " yeah Lamar had a good game he scored 8 TDs BUT he only had 200 yards passing. So, he's got to....." or "Lamar made plays when it mattered most and won the game but he's got to get that offense going earlier and throwing for 300 yards isn't going to enough in the playoffs" or my personal favorite" Lamar is a great runner of the football but to win in the NFL you've got to be able to throw the ball consistently". Or backhanded compliments like " Lamar had a great game but what impressed me most is that he won the game with his arm and not his legs. Lamar has to throw like this consistently to win." He can't ever just let the man have his due.

@nonya this is the best comment I ever heard about Shannon sharpe talking about Mr. Lamar Jackson you are right on point. So I say thank you very much.

I guess that's n/a when it comes to Lamar Jackson. He has to win a 'Chip' in spite of.

Shannon Sharpe was also among those who said NOT TO PAY Lamar Jackson! Then when he was paid, Shannon then went along with SAS saying Lamar Jackson isn't worth that money and/or the Ravens weren't getting their money's worth from Lamar Jackson! I'll stand on this, Lamar Jackson will go to the NFL HofF before Shannon's brother Sterling! It is karma for the Sharpe Brothers terrible and disrespectful comments they've made about Lamar Jackson since he entered the league. They both also said LJ8 wouldn't last. It's kinda funny because Lamar's career has now lasted longer than Sterling's! Shannon is resentful because with Lamar's 2nd MVP and other accomplishments, he would get into the NFL HoF before Sterling Sharpe now! Karma happens!😂

Ravens lost bc we ran the ball 6 times going away from the game plan

@@montrezbateman2236 Agreed. I think Lamar should have been a big part of running the ball more

Not Superbowl. Dies Lamar now need to throw, alcatch, block, and run now? Did he play his very b3st game.. no. But it was far from a bad game. His numbers were better than Mahomes, including the qb rating. Take away the turnivers and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, Ravens easily win that game. The only Mistake Lamar made was the int. Which should have been PI. Which was bad. But far from a bad game.

@cjstats1514 Definitely not a bad game. I thought he outplayed Mahomes too. I'm guess I'm saying I wanted the mamba to come out. I feel there are times when Lamar must decide he's gonna get it done. Personally, if need be. He's the best weapon we have. Use all of him when it counts the most

​@SPORTS1000NFL Kobe could be Mamba when ever he wanted because only 1 guy can shoot the ball. For Lamar to take over a game, he has to have other guys help. He can't block for himself, he can't catch the ball himself... there is so much that is out of his control.

Exactly! That’s how we know that Shannon’s takes on Lamar are personal!

This is what's done period. Don't know how old you are, but, they did the same to Peyton Manning and his team sucked. Yet until he won the superbowl : he was a fair weather qb, a regular season qb, he chokes in the big games....that comes with being the qb.

Jld593 is an idiot. Lamar is a top 2 QB in the NFL and he won't be #2 forever. Go cry about it!

☕👍🏼

Agreed. How do people know Lamar isn't saying no to these major brands? This is a man who won't even take his Heisman trophy or MVP out of the box in his closet because he wants to have a SB trophy before he does. Not certain Lamar doesn't feel the same way about being the face of the NFL.

Exactly! Also, Jackson has a higher overall winning percentage!

Who has the hardware? The majority of players would take Mahommes over Lamar any day if you’d ask them to be honest. Lamar isn’t nowhere near the level of Mahommes. Y’all need to stop

One is a natural behind the camera.. the other is camera shy, awkward and not well spoken. It not always racism but if you search for “privilege” you can always find it.

Lamar don't have an agent, hmmm. But maybe he has enough class not to tell people to spend $500 on sneakers, hmmm.

@@michaelwaninger3155 ads is the one thing I wish he had one for

Your spelling rating ranked F. Last among people without learning disabilities

Agents don't just do contracts they help with sponsors, and all the pr stuff with not having one he has to take time to do that stuff himself which would take alot of time out his daily life

Yea,,and how is that working for them.😂😂

At least they trying is what I’m sayin and it seem like the ravens doing the opposite

I was wondering what that was in the background, thanks. 😂😂

Chiefs didn't have any skill position players reach 1,000 yards either...

The Chiefs averaged 2.6 drops a game....the most in the NFL last year. Additionally, the Ravens defense was ranked higher. I don't understand your logic.

aside from lindenbaum giving the ol an ok is generous

Stanley played huge role in Lamar's sacks & hurries. Prob worst game in his career. Like a rag doll.

@corilou11 that was a problem all season most of lj fumbles came from the blind side

Did it ever cross your mind that maybe if Lamar had a better teacher (like Andy Reid), he wouldn't throw into triple coverage and he would learn to decipher a blitz? It probably didn't since it seems like you have a vendetta against Lamar.

Fun fact: Lamar threw half the ints that Mahomes did this season. He's also thrown less ints for his career, nearly 20 less. Y'all wanna judge Lamar off one bad play like Mahomes has never thrown a bad ball in his life. Stfu.

😂 Lamar isn’t just a regular season qb. It’s just hard to win offensively relying solely on the qb in the playoffs. Mahomes doesn’t have to be Superman in the playoffs for his team to win games.

So you are saying that only LJ didn't play well in the playoffs? Got it.

@@tdogx9545 It's also weird how people say Lamar didn't play well in the playoffs when the week prior to the Chiefs game he had a 4 TD game...

So Manning didnt go to a superbowl till year 8 a 9 Rodgers also and brees and lamar is in year 6 and people wanna say he would never going to one😂😂😂 just pure hate..outside of his rookie year every year that lamar has a full year he have go a round further in the playoffs wildcard divional round and this year afc championship he is not allen Who strand in the divional every year 1-5 is allen...

​@@angelopinagomes1591Allen is 5-5 in playoffs. You might want to do some research before you make statements. Rodgers sat 3 years behind Favre and won a superbowl in his 3rd year starting.

Sweet or hood? Hmmmm. Is this code? So he can't speak clearly enough? Dude come on. There are basketball players and rappers who talk like him who are in commercials. You can also do commercials like they did for Vick back in the day. But saying being hood or street can't be marketed is off and borderline something else.

Horrible take

@@tdogx9545 Bull. It's not code. The guy doesn't answer to others and walks to the beat of his own drum. No management. Good on him. Name any other jock in a lead speaking representative roll in a commercial or franchise who speaks the same or less clearly than Lamar. His first season teammates were having trouble picking him up in the huddle. You think it's easy reading for stuff like that? I've been there. TV executives and marketing execs are picky as hell. People think he should have deals like Mahomes or Brady? Ain't going to happen unless he gets coached up. If he doesn't care, good for him. It's all corporate BS in the long run.

@@montrezbateman2236 It's reality. Nothing racist about it. It's not easy doing the Mahomes or Manning thing. If Lamar doesn't care and doesn't want the stress of re-inventing himself to sell crap, then good for him. He's rich and happy. He'll appear in posters and montages of him playing, but you're not going to see him saying much of anything in an ad campaign, and that makes it hard to "know" him and sell around him. You're kidding yourself if you think he get do speaking roll ads the way he speaks in interviews. And BTW, that makes him NORMAL or average. Not many people pull off being Patrick Mahomes. Aaron Rogers was crap at it in comparison to Mahomes and Brady, and isn't doing ads like that anymore - and you can't get much more mass-media friendly than Rogers at first glance.

@PalindromeDesign Yes he walks to the beat of his own drum and yes good for him. Year 1 he said he had trouble with saying all the words in the play quickly for his team. I never heard a teammate say that they struggled to understand him. Regardless that was his rookie year. He speak to the media frequently and there doesn't seem to be an issue in understanding what he says. Like I said. Even if you have some issues with how he speaks, there are ways to do commercials without him speaking. You could also just do billboard posts. I don't give a damn how picky they are, if it is gonna make money they will find a way. Oculus did it with him in for 2 video games. Also like I said, there are rappers with TV commercials and NBA players who talk like him or worst. But hey you go head a cook because you know better

Lol. If Lamar was drafted by the Chiefs and learned an Andy Reid for the past 6 years, he would be a master at it. You're comments are so racially motivated its crazy

You sound dumb

As if vernacular has anything to do with intelligence. It doesn't.

Travis you hunt open space Pat you throw it.....yep not many can operate that.

Get real fool it's 2024 if Shannon Sharp can talk the whole NFL can, Lamar is 20 and 1 against the NFC haters haters 😢

Except that's not why they lost. How stupid are you

U must not have seen any games of the Ravens this yr

Well yeah, when everybody on the defense knows a pass is coming, its easier to defend. If the Ravens even threatened to run the ball, those passes would have been easier/more open

@@guyfromnewark 💯. Dude just repeats what he hears

That is a lazy take. His deep ball was not that great, but mainly it was with Bateman. Remember Bateman didn't really practice in training camp. They will be ok. Also the idea of keeping him in the pocket only worked because the WRs did have some issues with getting open at times.

That’s fair but don’t praise him when the tide turns. And no retorts of I’ll do what I want. You made your decision. Stand on it Ho.

That was game rigged from the start.

Game was rigged

It's funny because you speak like LJ was the only one who played bad in that game. Let's not forget Stanley got beat costing us 7. Zay fumbled costing us 7. Simpson hold then the miss blitz cost us at least 3. You then factor in the 2 non DPI calls. I don't say this to defend him, but while his play was not top tier, he still didn't lose the game. You figure any two of these things go in favor of the Ravens and we win. You also look thst after the 1st two drives, Mahomes was not that great.

@@freshlyfe4400 The NFL is rigged and scripted, I already knew that, that’s why I didn’t sweat the Raven’s loss to the Chief’s because I knew it was scripted like the WWE before the game even started! 🤣🤣🤣

Your stupid if you think Lamar is anything close to Fields. Move Fields to the Ravens or Chiefs and neither is making the playoffs. Swap Lamar and Mahomes and both teams are still making the playoffs. Gtfoh with the Mahomes is God worship.
