Lamar Jackson’s six-word message might be his most telling yet

Six words. One clear mission.

Lamar Jackson’s 2024 season was a masterclass in quarterback play. No one created more problems for defenses—or solved more problems for his own team—than Baltimore’s should-have-been MVP signal caller. Statistically, it was about as dominant as it gets.

So when NFL analyst Warren Sharp posted a comprehensive breakdown of Jackson’s league-leading efficiency across nearly every advanced metric, Flock Nation was fired up. Jackson? He's got six words that should fire up Ravens fans:

“All for nothing? LETS TURN IT UP A NOTCH !! #25-26  #Patientlywaiting”

No celebration. No need to explain. Just an emphatic, six-word reminder that even one of the best seasons in league history didn’t get him what he came for. In other words, he's unsatisfied... and that should terrify the rest of the NFL. Let's turn it up a notch.

Lamar Jackson is tired of individual accolades

Let’s break down just how ridiculous Jackson’s 2024 campaign was—and why his post landed the way it did.

According to Sharp, Jackson ranked first in EPA per attempt in the following categories:

  • Throwing outside the numbers
  • Throwing when outside the pocket
  • Early downs without play action
  • Throwing when kept clean
  • Against all zone coverage
  • Against two-high safety looks
  • In the fourth quarter
  • When passing within 2.5 seconds
  • Inside the red zone

He also ranked top five in:

  • Throwing between the numbers
  • All short and intermediate attempts
  • When pressured
  • Throwing inside the pocket
  • Third and fourth downs
  • Throwing with play action

And that’s just the efficiency breakdown. His raw production? Also elite. Jackson threw for 4,172 yards, 41 touchdowns, and just 4 interceptions. He led the NFL in passer rating (119.6), and he ran for 915 yards with another 4 scores. He became the first player in league history to throw for 4,000 and rush for 800 in the same season.

He was named First-Team All-Pro for the third time, added a fourth Pro Bowl nod, and once again proved why he’s the most electric player the league has ever seen take the football field.

But none of that changed how the season ended—another disappointing playoff exit, more history being broken, another round of criticism, and another trophy he didn’t take home. It’s not that Jackson doesn’t appreciate the individual recognition. It’s just clear that none of it matters unless it comes with a Super Bowl ring.

At this stage in his career, it's the only thing that matters. Everything else is meaningless.

Jackson’s repeatedly made it clear he’s not chasing stats. He wants that Super Bowl title. That’s what’s missing. He’s said it before—he wants to bring a championship back to Baltimore, not just for himself, but for the organization and fanbase that have stood behind him since Day 1.

He’s been through the crushing playoff losses. He’s heard the trash talk. He knows what’s expected of him. The playoff success has eluded him, but there's no denying he is a generational talent.

The reaction from Ravens fans to Jackson’s post said it all. There was no overanalysis or stat breakdown needed—just an outpouring of belief, emotion, and urgency. Flock Nation wants what Jackson wants. The replies were filled with one unified message: bring home the Lombardi. And if the mood surrounding this team is any indication, the fanbase believes this could be the year it finally happens for No. 8.

So when he says ‘Let’s turn it up a notch,’ it’s coming from a quarterback who knows exactly what he has to prove.
