FTF: Nick Wright & Chris Broussard Debate Lamar Jackson vs. Patrick Mahomes' Big Game Performance

Описание: On FS1's First Things First, Nick Wright and Chris Broussard dive deep into Lamar Jackson's performance, questioning his ability to elevate in big games and the playoffs, especially when compared to Patrick Mahomes. Nick Wright argues that while Lamar is an "amazing player," there's a "massive gap" between him and Mahomes in "every aspect of winning football games and playing quarterback," highlighting Lamar's crucial turnovers and the Ravens' questionable offensive strategy, particularly their underutilization of Derek Henry and a reliance on passing when their defense is struggling. Wright points to a consistent narrative arc over three years, where Lamar struggles in high-stakes situations, citing specific giveaways and fumbles in pivotal games. He criticizes the coaching staff's perceived insistence on proving Lamar is a phenomenal passer, even when it means moving away from his strengths.

Chris Broussard agrees that Mahomes is better, but suggests the significant difference primarily manifests in playoff and big-game scenarios rather than regular-season consistency. He acknowledges Lamar's "unbelievable" regular-season record but notes his struggles when facing elite opponents like Mahomes. The discussion also touches on historical MVP comparisons, graphically illustrating a similar gap between "MVP" QBs (like Matt Ryan, Brian Sipe, Fouts) and "way better" QBs (Tom Brady, Terry Bradshaw, Dan Marino), placing Lamar Jackson in the former category when stacked against Patrick Mahomes. The hosts explore whether the Ravens coaching staff is putting Lamar in a "really bad spot" by not leaning into his best attributes, leading to questions about the team's ability to "get over the hump" if they can't address these strategic issues.
