00:00Alex K, number one on his most overrated quarterbacks list.

00:03I can imagine.

00:05Yes.

00:06He's going to say Jaden.

00:07No.

00:08Who?

00:08Lamar Jackson.

00:10He's smoking crack.

00:13That man smoking crack.

00:16I'll read.

00:17Mm-hmm.

00:18Because I think this is just one of the wildest statements I've ever read.

00:23Lamar Jackson may not just be one of today's most overrated active quarterbacks,

00:27but also of all time.

00:30While his regular season statistics and team success are undoubtedly impressive,

00:34his 73% win percentage is one of the best in history,

00:38he hasn't found a way to deliver when it truly counts.

00:41The Baltimore Ravens star has been a four-time pro bowler,

00:43three-time all-pro for his inflated regular season marks,

00:46but his two-time MVP status is borderline fraudulent.

00:50His credentials simply don't measure up to the other legends who have won the

00:53award on numerous occasions.

00:55Of the 10 players who have joined the multiple MVP club during the Super Bowl

00:59era, Jackson is the lone member without a Super Bowl ring.

01:02All the others, a list that includes Johnny Unitas, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers,

01:06Tom Brady, Brett Barb, Joe Montana, Steve Young, Kurt Warner, and Patrick Mahomes,

01:10were able to take their team to multiple Super Bowl appearances and won at least one.

01:16Jackson has yet to even reach the big game, let alone help raise a banner.

01:20He has a 3-5 lifetime playoff record, a 375 winning percentage in the postseason.

01:26Rodgers is the second lowest on the list with a 524 playoff win percentage after going

01:3111-10 in the playoffs.

01:33Until Jackson can prove he can take the Ravens beyond the AFC championship game,

01:38a stage he's reached just once, a 17-10 defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs,

01:42during which he had more turnovers than touchdown passes, he'll remain overrated.

01:45He said he didn't name Dan Marino not making it to a win in the Super Bowl.

01:54And I'm sure he was more easy MVP than once.

01:56I'm guessing he wasn't.

01:58Otherwise, the article's incorrect.

02:00It could be.

02:01If we just test it a little bit.

02:03Did Marino ever win two MVPs?

02:06I'm blowing it up as we speak.

02:08Because I guarantee he don't say Marino's overrated.

02:12He didn't win one either, did he?

02:13Marino only, he didn't win a Super Bowl, but he only won one MVP award.

02:18But I don't think, if you are at that level of winning two MVPs,

02:23and some of the greatest of the greatest.

02:25And maybe, a lot of people thought he was going to win last year.

02:27Two on third one, but the thing about it, that's not overrated.

02:31I think, I think multiple things can be true.

02:35I think calling Lamar overrated is silly.

02:38I think it's stupid.

02:38You win an MVP for what you do in the regular season, right?

02:41I do think Lamar's lack of playoff success will mar his record until he changes.

02:47It will mar his record from him being considered.

02:49Just as it does with Marino.

02:50Yeah, but every time you talk about great quarterback, Marino's name does get popped up.

02:54And then you say, but he never won a Super Bowl.

02:56But still, his name gets popped up.
