Lamar Jackson

There's no positive storyline that can come out of the rest of these playoffs for Lamar. Some are worse than others.

In the squarely horrible bin:
Hurts wins the SB. Everyone will think Hurts is the new greatest QB of all time when he actually sucks. Lamar is the far better player and it's not particularly close. But if the Eagles do it, they beat Lamar to Lamar's game. Shame on the Ravens.

Burrow wins the SB. An AFC North team wins it. Smug ass Burrow and Bengals fandom become even more annoying. Burrow is now the king (he kind of already is just look at Colin C). This one would just hurt so much. We were loads better than them.

In the totally sucks bin:
Mahomes wins a second SB. He becomes a HOF in just his 6th season. Lamar has one playoff win in 5 seasons. Mahomes gets out in the TB12 category and people begin to play the will he catch him game.

In the oh what could have been bin:
49ers bring home a SB with Mr Irrelevant at the helm. Meaning an elite QB isn't required at all to win the SB which would absolutely buck the trend of recent and medium term history. All because you have a top defense and top running game with a little creativity in the pass game. The 49ers were just the Ravens of the NFC with a competent play caller and WR room.
All scenarios described are preferred over Burrow and the bengals

eh I think the bengals winning it is 1000x worst than al other outcomes combined

we had 5 years of Lamar ball to win it and failed to do so. wouldn't mind the eagles at all showing how to do correctly and maybe that moves the needle for us acquiring wrs or their OC

Yeah I honestly don’t mind any of the 3 other teams winning it all

Thinking I’ll probably be rooting for the 49ers but ultimately don’t care as long as it’s not the bengals…
 
I wrote the same thing without seeing your post lol, if the bengals win it we lose the only thing we have over them for the next decade (the ring argument)

ill be rooting my heart out for the chiefs
Nah. I want to Bengals to go the Super Bowl and LOSE !!!!! I loved it last year and want a repeat performance.
 
Saw a mock where we trade Lamar to Atlanta for their 8 and 44, 2024 1st rounder, 2024 second rounder and Grady Jarrett for Lamar and we select Levis lol. Turn Grady into Terrell and we might be onto something

You know , Lamar would be a an even better QB in a dome. I could see Atlanta making a bid.

Lamar is not a cold weather QB imo.
