What they are saying
"Despite falling to the final pick of the first round in 2018, Jackson has unquestionably turned into one of the pre-eminent players in football. Before turning 29, Jackson has already secured two MVPs (and may have been snubbed of a third) and gained three first-team All-Pro nominations."
Elite dual-threat QB with multiple MVPs and All-Pro selections despite late draft position."Nevertheless, Jackson has already rendered himself the best dual-threat quarterback ever and a probable Hall-of-Famer."
Confirmed as the greatest dual-threat QB ever with strong Hall of Fame probability."Jackson's more spotty playoff career, in which he owns a 65.1 PFF passing grade, will fall under scrutiny; if he never reaches a Super Bowl, it will certainly affect his legacy."
Playoff performance weakness could impact Hall of Fame candidacy if Super Bowl success doesn't materialize."If the Seahawks had Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen -- a player who was winning division titles and MVP awards all the time -- then sure, they'd be happy to pay top-of-market money and figure out the rest."
Referenced as elite tier quarterback worthy of top-of-market compensation; exemplar of MVP-caliber performance."This year, the Cowboys do have another two-time MVP on the schedule in Lamar Jackson"
Positive reference to Lamar Jackson as two-time MVP, star player for potential Thanksgiving matchup
