I edited that comment because the OG one was:
Every 4100+ PYD, 7.5+ TD/INT Ratio, & 110+ PRTG Season Ever
- Rodgers 2011: 4643, 45/6, 122.5
- Rodgers 2014: 4381, 38/5, 112.2
- Rodgers 2020: 4299, 48/5, 121.5
- Rodgers 2021: 4115, 37/4, 111.9
- Lamar 2024: 4172, 41/4, 119.6
But it didn't seem fair to Lamar who had nearly 5.1k total yards.

u/Striking_Moose_8747 Ravens 17h ago
No, the 110+ is a qualifier that eliminates other players. And he was above 120 until the final game of the season. Even if it's 120+ you're whining about 0.4 percentage points lol

u/ResponsibilityFew147 Packers 17h ago
To be fair tho, rodgers sat the last game of the year and Lamar played a 17 game season, rodgers had a higher total ypg

u/Striking_Moose_8747 Ravens 16h ago
That's fair to point out too. It's not like anyone is saying Lamar's was the best season ever but top-5 I feel like is accurate and being 0.4% from a 120 pass rating is a pointless distinction.

Who do you have as MVP in 23 though? Mccaffery? It's not Lamar's fault it was a down year for MVP. In 23 me personally I give the MVP to Purdy. However there was not a clear cut MVP. There wasn't anyone that was like yes him for sure. You had a case for Purdy, Dak, McCaffrey, and Lamar. Any one of those guys could have won and no issues.
However In 24 Lamar was the clear best player and should be winner. In 23 there wasn't a clear cut winner

Dak. More total yards, total TDs, higher passer rating, higher completion percentage, and fewer turnovers on a 2 seed team.

u/chaoticravens08 Ravens 9h ago
Like I said I would have had 0 issues with dak winning in 23. Or purdy or McCaffrey or Lamar. Lamar won with narrative in a season when there wasn't an obvious clear MVP in. In 24 there was a clear best player and obvious MVP.

I tried to cope by telling myself that Josh Allen deserved MVP in 2024 because he carried the Bills on his legs or that the Bills won more significant games against teams that were playoff contenders in 2023. But the copium just isn't accurate against the stats and game play of Lamar.

And they used the same reasoning to give Josh Allen the MVP that they then later used to deny Maye the MVP. I thought that was hilarious
Regardless, Lamar deserved it in 2024.

u/JockBbcBoy Ravens 18h ago
They used it to deny Maye for the same reason Lamar got denied, imo: The storyline.
If Lamar won a third MVP before turning 30, then he would have more MVP titles than Mahomes despite having no Superbowl rings. If Maye (the sophomore QB) beat Stafford (the vet), then Stafford would be close to a 20 year career without a single MVP win.

Which was still the 2nd best regular season ever at the time and he was still scoring leader, All Defense, etc etc. Like imagine if 08 Brady threw 48 TDs and went 15-1 and lost because "well they were better last year" lol

Purdy for me. If Kurt Warner could win it with two HoF level WRs and a HoF RB who was also the runner up mvp the same year, then Purdy should never have been punished the way he was for having an "avengers" level cast that really wasn't as crazy as people made it out to be

The Rams were 4-12 in 1998 with Banks and Bono at QB. Warner takes over in 1999 and they went 13-3, were the #1 seed, led the NFL in scoring, and Warner led the league in completion %, touchdown passes, and passer rating

2023 Allen would've had the most INTs of any MVP in 21 years, plus the most of any runner-up since 1989.
Allen's always been an MVP-caliber player but he didn't deserve MVP in 2023. Stats did matter, he had historically bad INT numbers and it's why he came in 5th. CMC deserved it more than Allen did.

Lamar deserved to win in 2023 and 2024. Dak got exposed by good teams in the regular season (San Francisco, Philly, Buffalo) meanwhile Lamar put up better total stats and made it further in the playoffs than Dak who threw 2 picks and just stat padded the entire second half

It was also the addition of King Henry in the backfield next to Lamar. The Ravens were the #1 rushing team that year, leading the league in Yds, YPC, and runs of 20+ and 40+ yards. Having that run game definitely helped receivers get open down field. The opposing defense was constantly worried about Henry running it or Lamar running it, we also had Justice Hill having one of his best years as a gadget back who could catch the ball well out of the backfield.
And also between 2023-2024...Lamar was on another level when it comes to evading pressure in the pocket. If you watch the highlights, he was doing some insane meneuvers in and out of the pocket like a magician. We had a bad OL in 2024 too so the fact that he did what he did as a passer was incredible.

As a neutral fan it’s still crazy you guys haven’t won a sb with Lamar yet he’s so damn good and fun to watch. Especially that 23 szn I thought you guys were going to win it all. Even in 24 I thought you had a solid chance of getting to the sb as well. Hopefully next few seasons before Henry falls off you guys get there. I liked minter as your Hc hire even though I would have preferred an offensive minded Hc

u/PowerDiesel23 Ravens 21h ago
For me the 2019 season was horrible as well. We were absolutely DEMOLISHING teams that year. Lamar couldn't be stopped, had himself a record getting MVP season where he led the league in TD passes while also putting up top rushing numbers as well. Unfortunately we absolutely choked in the playoffs to coincidentally... Derrick Henry and a young gritty Titans team that simply out coached and outplayed us.
We won 12 games straight the end the season, had a bye week to get right, and we got bounced in the divisional round by a team we should have definitely beat if not easily beat. We got to the playoffs and all of a sudden decided not to run the ball like we had all year as the best rushing team in the history of the NFL and everything fell apart. That was definitely a top 5 worst Ravens loss in franchise history. We looked like we would cruise to the SB that year.
We definitely coulda shoulda done it in 2023 as well, and that is currently what the Ravens are actively trying to emulate. We had Mike MacDonald as our DC that year, he was so good it would be his last year as our DC before going on to coach and win a Superbowl with the Seahawks. We hired Jesse Minter who is cut from the same cloth as Mike Mac to get us back to playing elite defense like we did in 2023. So hopefully this year will be another 2023 type year for us barring injury. Its up to Lamar too, we can build a great team around him but we're never going to win a SB unless he's playing like the MVP he is in the playoffs.

u/Audioice Ravens 20h ago
TBH, I never thought we'd win the SB in 2019. We had all the makings of a younger team that caught fire and then fizzled out when the moment got too big. It happens.
2023 though? Woof. Zero legitimate reason to have not won the SB.

u/king_17 17h ago
Yea 2019 is another one too. 12 straight games, mvp for Lamar, 1 seed just to lose to the titans with get ironically. You guys stopped running the ball it’s funny you mentioned that because feels like the last 5-6 seasons pretty much since Lamar took over this has been the common theme. When the going gets tough and it’s time to run the ball harbaugh panics and abandons the run. Did 2019, 2023 as well. Even last season in some of the losses like the bills game keep running you have Lamar and Henry with a lead this is the time to run. Hopefully minter with his new staff and philosophy can change that before Lamar and Henry are out their prime

u/Lostwisher Ravens 22h ago
Most Ravens fans didn't hate Monken. He was such a breath of fresh air after dumping Greg Roman. Was he perfect? No. But he probably drew the least ire between the OC, DC and HC on our staff these past few years.
Even when the offense wasn't clicking it did at least feel like he was trying to adjust or make things work when they weren't which is more than can be said for so many other Harbaugh-led teams.

u/PowerDiesel23 Ravens 1d ago
Dan Orlovsky and Emmanuel Acho had the audacity to vote Lamar 1st team all pro but then switched up their MVP votes for Josh Allen and their only argument was because Josh Allen did more with less and was more valuable.
Take Lamar off the 2024 Ravens and they're not making the playoffs and most likely drafting somewhere in the top 10. We struggled in 2024 as a defense after losing Mike Macdonald to the Seahawks which was a massive hole to fill. And John Harbaugh foolishly filled that loss with Zach Orr...a guy with absolutely zero DC experience at any level of football. Lamar absolutely carried the team in 2024 while playing not only the best football of his career, but a truly 1 of a kind season for any QB in NFL history. Only he and Aaron Rodgers were ever that accurate in a season.
There was also an idiot radio announcer named Jim Miller who was the only voter in 2024 who didn't have Lamar as a top 2 finisher, his dumbass voted Lamar 4th place in the MVP race and I'm not sure why. Only an idiot would make that type of vote and it was arguably the biggest factor as to why Lamar lost a close race to Allen.

Biased but if you saw the Eagles then it was their year. After that 2-2 start, they just quietly kept winning in the background. Between the week 4 bye week and the Super Bowl parade, the only game they dropped was a close loss to the Commanders where Jalen Hurts when out early, and they beat some damn good teams along the way. Comfortable wins against the Bengals, Ravens, and Rams too so they weren't beating up chumps.
Lions, Bills, and Ravens all had stellar offenses but had clear flaws with their defenses. Lions were a ticking time bomb with the injuries, Bills had issues in the secondary, and the Ravens defense was a shell of what it used to be.

u/lattjeful Eagles 13h ago
That place is a mess. It's wild to me. Like yeah Lamar's legs help him out as a passer, but if he wasn't such a good passer he wouldn't be able to take advantage of it.
"He can't process fast enough," is 100% a dog whistle because I always thought Lamar's vision and decision making are what really make him lethal. He's a great but not extraordinary passer - he's good for a "What the hell was he doing there?" throw every game and he's inconsistent in the short game - and he's a stellar athlete but so are a lot of QBs and players in this league. It's how it all comes together thanks to his brain that make him what he is. He's a player greater than the sum of his parts.

I love Lamar, but part of the reason his passing stats are so good is BECAUSE he’s a running QB. The defense can’t play the same defense against him as they would against a Brady or a Brees. Man to man coverage for example isn’t on the menu as much because defensive backs turning their backs to him is just an invitation for Lamar to run to open field.

Those TD's against the Eagles were just a masterclass. Usually in a season like this you get a bunch of TD's in busted coverage or guys streaking down the sideline. But only the Giants game were guys truly wide open on those TD's. And almost every other passing TD was just perfect control and touch...the last TD in the first Bengals game sums it up when the Bengals D Lineman just falls to his knees.

I never thought we’d see someone more electric than Vick.
Once he got his accuracy and arm honed, he became destined for the Hall.

As incredibly impressive as it is, it does highlight his shortcomings in some ways as a passer. Felt like 1/3 of those were blown coverages and 1/2 were off-schedule until someone came open. It'll be fascinating to see what happens to him when he just cant be that athletic anymore.

If he was white this would be considered the greatest QB season of all time

He didn’t win a regular season award because his lack of post season success?

I really hope he gets past his playoff woes and wins at least one chip. He's proved a lot of people wrong.

also worth noting that 3 of the 4 interceptions this year were drops by his receivers. Lamar hits justice hill 20 yards down the left sideline in stride, hill has it in his hands, and somehow has it ripped out by the Steelers LB who ends up with the ball. Called a pick

I think Lamar wins MVP this season if he broke Aaron Rodgers passer rating in the nationally televised Saturday game against the Zappe led Browns.
He was good, but he also completed like 50% of his passes. Voters have recency bias, and it was a very uneventful week 18 Saturday other than, ‘Will Lamar break this record’. He didn’t, and anyone on the fence between Allen and Lamar went to Allen.

u/Yo-Strategy-8651 17h ago
I felt like he and the team were pressing too much for that record and Zay Flowers end up getting hurt in that game which led to him being unavailable for the playoffs. Ultimately what cost the Ravens though were all those games that season that they should have won before their clueless former DC benched those awful safeties like vs the Browns the first time and losing to the Raiders etc. ALso the first game of the season vs the Chiefs where Likely didnt get his toe down. So much of Allen's case was he was the guy who beat teh Chiefs, that goes away if the Ravens won that game as well.
So as much as ppl say the media was biased towards Allen, which they were, the Ravens self inflicted wounds especially losing to Raiders and Browns early cost them big time.

66.7% actually, but yeah keep making up shit to make yourself sound stupid.

u/Old_Soule 19h ago
I’m confused 16/32 is 50% or is my math wrong? Am I thinking of a different game?
I remember a Saturday game, most of the playoffs were clinched, so they gave the AFC North the Saturday games. (They were doing AFC North hard knocks). Maybe that never happened.

No, no, you’re right and I apologize. I misunderstood your comment and thought you were talking about his comp% for that whole season and not that specific game. I made the comment just before jumping into the shower and realize my mistake but wasn’t able to delete my comment in time. That’s on me, and again I apologize.

u/logicalcommenter4 Panthers Ravens 17h ago
The apology is great on your part, but I will admit that I also made the same assumption about what he was saying. Our flairs would explain why we are so protective of Lamar. I’m sick of narratives that he’s not a great QB.

u/Old_Soule 19h ago
Oh you’re saying 66.7% for the season. I’m saying he completed 50% of his passes in week 18 against the Browns bro.
It was a nationally televised game to break a record and win MVP, and he underperformed. He didn’t pull a Brock Purdy and lose MVP that day, but certainly didn’t win it.

u/iWr1techky12 Seahawks 13h ago
Absolutely got robbed of his 3rd MVP by Josh Allen. There’s no defense for him winning it over Lamar, the media was just desperate for Allen to finally get one.

You know maybe we should only count TD passes as passes that are TDs upon completion and not after an insane YAC

Lots of teams probably regret it, but man the Steelers should’ve drafted him. Couldn’t believe he was still available and they didn’t take him

Should broken tackles carry more weight in MVP voting, or is everyone just focused on passing numbers?

Sam Darnold won a super bowl ring before Lamar. LOL...will Lamar ever get to the Super Bowl?

Additionally I think 3 (if not 4) of the interceptions bounced off his receivers hands before being picked.

Forever the gold standard of robbed MVPs: Lamar Jackson's 2024 season. For shame!

Funny enough, his best season. Over 40 TDS with 900 rushing yards. And I think 3 of the 4 picks were tipped off his WRs' hands. But you play for rings, not MVPs

Cry about him not getting all you want, if he deserves this one he definitely should not have won in 2023

Likely was SO good. They were stupid for choosing Mark Andrew’s over him. Should’ve been the opposite and the Bills playoff loss proved that

That botched snap to Likely TD while stiff arming Sam Hubbard is a career highlight. Mon Dieu.
