All Big Blue View insights about Lamar Jackson

Jackson's inability to win a Super Bowl or even reach one under Harbaugh raises critical questions about his performance in crunch time. Since Harbaugh's lone Super Bowl win, his Ravens teams were eliminated by teams led by Philip Rivers, Tom Brady, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, and Patrick Mahomes. Jackson went 0-for-5 against those elite quarterbacks in playoff games when it mattered most. The 2023 AFC Championship Game vs. Kansas City exemplifies the concern: the Chiefs showed a heavy front and dared the Ravens to beat them through the air, and Jackson was unable to exploit it. The underlying question is whether Jackson isn't quite as good as he often seems, at least in crunch time, or whether Harbaugh and his coaches failed to maximize his skills.

The source ranks Lamar Jackson at QB 41 vs. ADP 33 (QB2), fading him in Round 3 due to opportunity cost in a deep quarterback market. Concerns include reduced rushing volume last season despite health, average of three missed starts per season over five years, and uncertainty about Top-4 QB finish despite A.J. Brown addition. Source prefers loading up on backs and receivers while Jackson comes off the board, with better value available from Round 6 onward.
