How did Lamar Jackson do in the regular season:

One thing we learned about Lamar Jackson is when he is allowed to be himself, good things happen. Jackson is who he is and that was the great lesson of the season. He’s a combination of arm talent and ridiculous athleticism. After his second full season as a starter, there is a lot to say.

Here are the highlights of the 2020 season for the reigning MVP of the NFL. Jackson added another 26 touchdown passes and had a passer rating just under 100. Jackson became the first quarterback in NFL history to have two 1,000 yard rushing seasons. There were some very good times to be an Action Jackson fan.

While his performance was a bit uneven sometimes, he’s been the best thing going for the Ravens. When Jackson missed the second game against the Pittsburgh Steelers it became painfully obvious how much of a difference-maker the former Heisman winner is. Let’s get to the report card for the 2020 regular season for number eight:

The Bottom Line:

When we look back at Jackson’s career this probably won’t be looked at as his top season. That’s fine. Jackson had to follow up the most entertaining season I have ever seen a quarterback produce. Jackson had a ton of A + performances in this game. He showed that the Ravens will always be a winner with him under center. Overall it was good. Greg Roman and Jackson figured out much of what was going wrong earlier in the year.

Ultimately this season will be remembered for what the Ravens do in the postseason. If Jackson gets his first playoff win against the Tennessee Titans, it will be the progress this franchise is looking for. Jackson is fun to watch, he’s a great leader and, he’s the most important player for the purple and black.
