Will Ravens QB Lamar Jackson become a champion or just another cliche?

Nobody is going to save Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson a slice of the sweet Lombardi pie when he’s unwilling to stand the heat of the kitchen. The mediocre mindset has fully engulfed Jackson, and the adopted principle of 'we’ll get them next time,' founded by his head coach, John Harbaugh, has fans fully convinced that there actually might never be a next time. Besides providing apologetic commentary in post-game press conferences that convey nothing more than remedial recollections, Jackson hasn’t really done much to convince us that his heart and soul are dedicated to making sure his team prevails.

With December upon us and Christmas just around the corner, kids across the nation are waiting patiently in hopes of receiving their desires. Ravens fans are just like those kids, except they know that Santa Claus always seems to forget just how nice they’ve been to Harbaugh and Jackson. The never-failing love fans pour into a frequently failing Ravens’ franchise has finally become a problem. The Ravens rank No. 28 in pass yards per game, so this looming idea that offensive coordinator Todd Monken is a genius isn’t backed by statistical evidence. Also, the 6-6 season record features only one win versus a playoff-contending opponent. Jackson and Monken aren’t in sync, and the turnover clinic on Thanksgiving suggests a drastic change in the offensive approach.

There’s been an apparent decline for Jackson and the Ravens since tallying up 14 wins in 2022. The losses are beginning to sting, and if this past Thursday doesn’t ring a jingling bell for Jackson, he can kiss the chances of making a run at the Lombardi trophy goodbye, right under the mistletoe.
