I know Lamar Jackson has his detractors on this board, but he's a two-time MVP, who is right now Vegas' odds-on favorite for a 3rd MVP.
He's a better QB than your average Bengals fan will admit to, but like is being said it can't be ignored that his success rapidly decreases in the postseason. They lost a close one at home to the team who would go on to defend their crown, so there's no shame in that, though I doubt anybody here would be ecstatic with our QB if he managed 10 points in a home AFCCG. He's a 2-time MVP who has been in the league for 6 seasons and has 2 playoff wins... that's not a good record in the part of the season which actually matters. Maybe that changes in the future, but it hasn't yet.
