Lamar Jackson was incredible on Monday Night Football and it's looking more and more likely that he'll capture his third MVP award. He might, as Colin Cowherd suggests below, be the best football player on the planet. But it doesn't really matter until he proves he can lead the Baltimore Ravens on a meaningful playoff run. And even then his place in the court of public opinion won't change much because he will still be, as he is now, known as someone who can't "win the big one."
So he has no choice but to hear pundit after pundit make this point over and over again until he gets another chance to change the conversation in January. Which can't feel great, especially when he's being lumped into the James Harden-Joel Embiid category by Nick Wright.
