In any realistic measure, Jackson had a fantastic third season. His stats weren’t exactly what they were during his 2019 MVP campaign, but Jackson still led the Ravens to a record 11-5 in the regular season and his first post-season win since 2014.
He became the first quarterback in NFL history to run for 1,000 yards in several seasons and showed growth as a passer as well. At just 24, there is no reason to believe that Jackson will not continue to improve.
He will enter the off season looking to grow even more as a passer to help reinforce an attack that led the league in races, but finished last in the NFL in aerial yards per game (171.2) and close to the bottom in passing efficiency.
“I just think he’s going to look back for the whole season – not just this game, the whole season – and he’s going to make the adjustments he needs to make to be an elite quarterback; an even more elite quarterback. He’s an elite runner, an elite passer, but there are steps he can take, better steps he can take, and he knows it, “said wide receiver Willie Snead IV.
“This is the competitor in him, who wants to improve every off-season, fix the little things that his game needs to improve and continue to improve as a passer. I think if he works hard in that part of the game and really reaches his full potential in that area, so the sky is the limit for Lamar, man. It’s just a matter of time. So it depends on him. I think this game will be a warning for him, I hope this off season. So, we’ll see what he’ll do in the next year. “
