Lamar Jackson is wasting generational Super Bowl talent and isn’t worth $450m given to Patrick Mahomes

Lamar Jackson’s fawning supporters still insist that he’s been wronged and overlooked for years. One of Action Jackson’s early haters was foolishly adamant that he needed to be a pro running back, instead of a two-time NFL MVP. “I was wrong, because I used the old, traditional quarterback standard with him,” Bill Polian told USA Today in 2019. This is where the truth lies for Jackson seven years later, after Week 8 of the 2026 season. He’s wasting his generational athletic talent and Jackson’s latest injury immediately calls into question his future as a Baltimore Raven.
