Everything but the Super Bowl.
Lamar Jackson has been money since he arrived in the National Football League, winning the MVP in 2019, his second in 2023, and in 2024, he almost won it, finishing second to Buffalo’s Josh Allen (even though Jackson was the AP First Team All-Pro).
A Quarterback with two MVPs (and remember, almost three) is a slam dunk to make it to Canton, but he does not want to challenge Dan Marino as the finest QB never to win it all.
That is where it gets tricky.
Bluntly, unlike every other position in the NFL, a quarterback’s legacy is based on winning it all, or at least getting there. There is no doubt that he has been phenomenal throughout his career, but in 2025, Jackson had his first losing season, and he was clearly frustrated to the point where it looked like he might be moving on from the Ravens.
As we enter the 2026 season, Jackson and the Ravens are looking to rebound, and he has the skills to do it. This is still a top-five QB, and he currently boasts the highest all-time Passer Rating. Saying that, is Lamar transitioning from a Hall of Fame lock to a Hall of Fame debate? This season could speak to that.
