Sherman responded to the comments attributed to an anonymous NFL defensive coordinator who spoke to The Athletic's Mike Sando. The anonymous defensive coordinator said the following about Jackson: “If he has to pass to win the game, they ain’t winning the game. He’s so unique as an athlete, and he’s really a good football player, but I don’t (care) if he wins the league MVP 12 times, I don’t think he’ll ever be a 1 as a quarterback." He continued: "He’ll be a 1 as a football player, but not as a quarterback. So many games come down to two minutes, and that is why they have a hard time advancing even when they are good on defense. Playoffs are tight. You have to be able to throw the ball, and he is just so inconsistent throwing the ball. It is hit or miss.” “This doesn’t seem cowardly, it is cowardly. This doesn’t seem personal, it is personal.”

How does Lamar Jackson s record as a passer compare

Wild Card Round - Baltimore Ravens v Tennessee Titans Since entering the league in 2018, Lamar Jackson has taken the NFL by storm. He displayed a unique skill set that has seen him quickly become one of the most talked about players in the league. His explosiveness and playmaking abilities, especially as a runner, have been a nightmare for defensive coordinators. It has been a problem that none of them appear able to solve. Jackson is still averaging a ridiculous 5.9 yards per carry. His talents as a runner are undoubted. His abilities when it comes to throwing the ball, however, have received intense scrutiny. Some have disrespectfully labeled him a running back who plays quarterback. There is a belief within the NFL community that if you can force Lamar to throw from the pocket, then he becomes ineffective. The question then is, do the statistics support that theory? In 2021, Lamar registered a pass completion percentage of 64.4. This placed him 22nd in the league. He was behind the likes of Davis Mills and , but ahead of the likes of . He was also an impressive 13th in yards per game, above and . Perhaps the most telling stat comes when focusing on Jackson's numbers in crunch time.
