Let’s try it this way. You are making a claim that is in direct conflict with what it accepted to be true. That’s fine, that’s how progress and change are made.
However, if you are going to make such a claim, a claim that goes against what is accepted as fact and backed up by that player’s peers, the writers who follow the sport every day of their lives, the analysts whose job it is to place value on such things, in other words, the people whose job it is to know better than you, then you had better have a better argument with actual statistics to back up your claim other than, “Lamar Jackson is overrated because I say so”.
Actually lay out your case. I’m always happy to change my mind in light of new information. I’d rather be proven wrong than cling to a disproven belief.
Edit: Spelling
Not looking to convince you... We can disagree and I am okay with that. I believe that it is okay for people to see things differently.
We live in an extreme offensive era... Unreal numbers....
So in an offensive league where we have video game numbers..... Who do we give the MVP to?
When there are 5-6 QB's putting up thesee incredible numbers.
Who is the MVP????
Rewind a few years back...
Tannehill goes to the Titans and starts producing like he is a hall of fame QB...
Led the league in Completion... QB rating.... Yards per pass.
Next year 4000+ yards 40+ touchdowns combined top 3 in QB rating and Completion %...
He did not get a single MVP vote.
Mind you the Titans went into New England and knocked off the defending superbowl champs... And ended coming up a play short from making the superbowl....
Not one single MVP vote.
So go ahead and you explain it to me... Convince me that Jackson with lesser numbers and no playoff wins was deserving of those MVP's
6 years in the league... 2 playoff wins.
But they gave him Multiple MVP's
Like I said.... Overrated.
Tua and Lamar same number of Touchdowns.(last year)
Who had more yards combined... Tua..
Who had a higher completion% Tua
Yards per pass... Tua
Lamar wins the MVP Tua does not get a single vote.
Ergo overrated.
Tua Did not get a single vote despite beating Lamar Jackson in most offensive categories.
