I said when a team takes away his running. Lamar has always choked in the biggest game. Sure, the ravens beat up on the Texans. But against a good defense in KC, he looked a lot like playoff Andy dalton. It’s also his horribly untimely plays.

Over the course of his career, Jackson’s completion percentage is worse in the playoffs (57.4 percent) than in the regular season (64.5 percent). Jackson’s passer rating is worse in the playoffs (75.7) than in the regular season (98.0). His average yards per attempt is just 6.8 yards in the playoffs, significantly worse than his 7.5-yard average in the regular season. In regular season games, Jackson has thrown 125 touchdown passes to just 45 interceptions. In the playoffs he’s thrown only six touchdown passes, and six interceptions.

Jackson’s passing numbers in the playoffs have been worse than his passing numbers in the regular season in all four of the seasons that he reached the playoffs.

And, of course, the Ravens have won just two of the six postseason games that Jackson has started.

I simply don’t think a rushing first QB will ever win a Super Bowl. It simply comes down to the fact that you can take that away.
