FIRST TAKE | Lamar Jackson is the KING of AFC North! - Stephen A. "excited" by Ravens beat Steelers

[@tecianholmes]

Tired of the narrative. ​​⁠The reason Lamar won MVP last year is because his team was 10-2 against playoff teams which was an NFL record. Allen wasn’t even in consideration last year because of his interceptions. It was between Lamar, CMC, Purdy, and Dak. Dak had a terrible game in the final three weeks and Lamar beat the 49ers on Christmas in front of the whole nation before having a 5 TD , perfect passer rating game to close out the year against the Dolphins. Allen is only 3-3 against teams over .500 this year, and is playing worse than Lamar in every category other than Rushing TDs. It is not the same at all.

[@18milford]

I agree with everything you said

[@callmeceester]

W breakdown!!!

[@Michael-tc1dm]

Doesn't matter they're not going to give lamar a 3rd mvp until he stops choking in the playoffs.

[@Jesussing16]

Not only that but he had the best stats across the board against winning teams

[@benshreve9683]

Lamar has best stats

[@princemunchie8112]

The only quarter back in the nfl with the best qb passer rating and the lowest interceptions he’s the best

[@mr.onehundon2437]

That's Justin Herbert with three int but Lamar is still putting up better numbers than Allen🤷🏿‍♂️

[@mr.anderson3694]

Allen is still MVP.

[@RavensTheNextDynasty]

@mr.anderson3694Allen is 3-3 against playoff teams Lamar is 6-3. Allen has 5 passer ratings below 90 this season Lamar has 2. Josh Allen had 2 great games where he went 1-1 and he had a mediocre game against the chiefs that everyone over hypes. This isn’t even close.

[@madprophet69]

Too bad MVP is not a "who has the best stats?" award

[@MikelKeane-lf7te]

If Lamar Jackson doesn’t win the MVP this year… it is robbery

[@smokey_410]

They are eating crow/raven now, but you can tell they hate having to give Lamar his props. I dont hear the Josh Allen Mvp narrative, its a no brainer Lamar is the back to back MVP.

[@mikewhite1364]

Steven A .got away from that segment quick,fast and in a hurry.No Lamar discussion

[@divronejones2301]

It’s so hard for y’all to say Lamar the best

[@sterrell1892]

So why play regular season, oh yeah because it matters for everybody but Lamar. But before the season Lamar isn't top 3, but he's treated like the best. Make this make sense. Every week is a must win, Baltimore wins , it's about what Lamar does in the playoffs.

[@stephom]

Damn you don’t comprehend Lamar needs a PO win and SB visit or win in his resume who cares what he look like regular season he is great but let’s see that greatness in the tournaments

[@sterrell1892]

@stephom can you comprehend that Lamar is a hall of famer now as we speak. Comprehend that Lamar is rated by the players in the NFL as the number 1 player and can you win po games in the regular season. You seem like an idiot who doesn't think for self or see what's obvious. Every year the MVP favorite is Josh or Joe. How many Superbowl wins do they have. None would be the answer

[@Dozjah]

Why does Dan have an MVP vote? First it was Lamar can’t win because of his team record. But now it’s if Burrow makes the playoffs he’s the MVP??? They went the entire show without talking about how the Bills almost choked. Interesting.

[@drb5003]

Dan Orlovsky, Mina Kimes, Teddy Bruschi and Acho are 4 of the 50 voters for MVP. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@williepipkins3905]

Lamar is a Top Tier QB No matter what you Naysayers think..F Yall!!

[@OGSkillz-ml2eq]

Thank you bro flock nation 💜🖤💜🖤

[@Boredmillenial]

Gotta let a naysayer know!

[@BootCampBrandon]

I need Cam on this segment

[@deniriowatkins3662]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@tiddablacksaav8634]

Really though! Stephen talking out both sides of his neck week in and week out 😂

[@Moblinn]

It’s insane how easy it is to tell what they are allowed to say and aren’t. You already know they are NOT allowed to say on air that Lamar is best qb in the league. Multiple times on this broadcast they said he was the best then quickly reworded it to “one of the best”

[@joshuagarcia9862]

Where’s the mfs that picked Steelers?

[@Michael-tc1dm]

They're just waiting for the playoffs so they can watch lamar choke as usual.

[@DamonAlston-u9o]

I don’t see no team beating us when we playing like this so I’m just hoping & praying that we keep this up like Dan said don’t over complicate things be a balance team give the ball to Henry the running game will open up the passing game & on the defensive we made adjustments

[@tonygotbars8835]

I agree no one can beat us wen we are playing like this, defense & Zach Orr have finally got there shìt together. Benching Williams and giving Adarius Washington the starting spot was the best decision harbs has made all year. An let’s not forget that Keaton is coming back to elevate our offense and give Henry some rest before the playoffs.

[@thebreakdownwithtomross]

Pure narrative you see how hard it is for them to compliment Lamar jackson and the ravens .. they are acting like someone has a gun to their head and they aren’t talking about how great Lamar’s season is this year

[@rocoosp70]

Ravens are so fun to watch!!!! The talent is off the charts!!!

[@StevePhillips777]

Stephen A, was funny and humble talking about the Governor of Maryland Westmore talking trash about the Ravens in the face of Stephen. I'm from MD, now in TN, and the shot of Westmore supporting the Ravens while standing next to Stephen A. was priceless.

[@GoddeKnows]

Lamar had 2 bad games on the season and these mfs talking like he got 10 ints and has actually cost the ravens games this season based on him throwing the ball poorly. Man if I didn’t know any better I’d think he wasn’t having one of the best statistical seasons in league history for a QB.

[@Michael-tc1dm]

He lost against the 2 worst teams lol.

[@graysuede12]

@@Michael-tc1dm tucker missed multiple kicks in those games, receivers dropped multiple passes some of which turned into an int, and the ALL-PRO DEFENDERS dropped poorly thrown balls by ravens opponents.

[@davidsmith-uw2ci]

​@@graysuede12 exactly

[@RavensTheNextDynasty]

@@graysuede12exactly their isn’t a game this year where you can be like damn Lamar sucked and cost them the game. Even his worst game of the season was against Steelers he should have win if tucker made kicks (and his rating was significantly worst than it should have been if justice hill would have just caught that ball)

[@kiyanwest149]

⁠@@Michael-tc1dmthe defense cost them those two games

[@dyn-juanmcnair1721]

7:23 Shannon switches up every year about the ravens. Everytime. Wishy-washy too much.

[@purplehaze2110]

I felt the same way, but tbh every year you really don’t know what you’ll get from the ravens in spite of lamar tho

[@drb5003]

He's a follower.😂

[@Ralph-y3t]

Dan trying so hard not go back on his stance 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@bodyguard8257]

Why Allen not measured that way

[@davidsmith-uw2ci]

They use LJ MVPs as an excuse

[@williepipkins3905]

Well Shannon that just means it all Boils to the Coaching ?Right? Is that what you’re saying? I Mean Lamar Doesn’t decide How Many times that Henry Runs the Ball ..Right?

[@trevorgittens1993]

Actually I'm disguised seeing Steven A giving "LJ PROPS" because he was very negative on the kid at the beginning of his career !!

[@robertjohnson1397]

I’m dying “ Steven A looking like the Backstreet Boys “🤣🤣🤣

[@HooksyCollins]

Good enough defense!? STOP IT! I'm a Ravens fan since 03 and this is some of the worst defense we've played for a whole season. Seems like all the media love to act like our defense and The Bengals was neck and neck in terms of horrid defensive play. We've got a few notches better but the defense has me worried as hell for this playoff run. The drop off from last year to this year is insane. I don't think this years defense can keep KC to 17 points.

[@jehushaphat]

More about the quality of the competition than about Pickens' absence. They lose to the Eagles, Ravens, and Chiefs WITH or WITHOUT Pickens.

[@bagoboy2446]

Lamar putting it in his belly and pulling it out is Craaaazy unc 😂😂😂 ⏸️⏸️⏸️

[@mr.brooks9802]

Aye yoooo 😂😂

[@justenhayes3774]

you think Stephen A is wearing carthartt😂😂😂

[@vonteboyd1849]

He couldn’t wait to say is coat was Tom Ford 😂

[@arkie622]

Lamar wants that SB 🔥

[@davidsmith-uw2ci]

What made that game even better is that SAS was at that game lol

[@MalakKodok-e3g]

Why russ throw the ball to the opponent when he could take the sack

[@vonteboyd1849]

Thats my Governor 😂🙌🏽

[@adrianbradford9354]

This why nobody watches these sport shows no more and watch podcasts because they can speak truth this shit change every day smh

[@Shupedoop]

Allen lost stock in the MVP race with how he played vs the Patriots. Lamar’s went even higher against a dominant performance against the Steelers.

[@bubbajr19]

Looking back at Lamars draft, scouts said Lamar should switch to receiver or if he was drafted at QB, he won't make it past two years. They said he will never be an nfl quarterback. 2 mvps later Multiple games with a perfect passer rating Multiple games throwing for 5tds Lead the league in passing TDS TWICE It seems the narrative changes every year for a Quarterback they called a runningback 😂

[@dremiller7108]

Why first take dont put pressure on coaching. Coaching is going to be the reason why ravens don’t stayed prepared

[@jayharris2918]

Them: Lamar must beat the Steelers!!! He can’t beat good teams Also them: regular season doesn’t matter

[@fredfoy1133]

You cant just say the formula is only Henry and Lamar throw less than 20 times. Different teams are capable of stopping different things. You have to be multiple and take what the defense is allowing. If teams are selling out to stop Henry, you dont just run 25 times into a 9 man box.

[@antinoking1751]

What about DAN MORINO.....😮

[@hunt_]

Ravens overall best team in the league

[@yaboiahmon]

Not learning anything from the steelers win????? ESPN and everyone was saying Steelers is Lamar's Kryptonite for a month!!!

[@vonteboyd1849]

Carhardt? No, that’s Tom Ford 😂

[@bigcmac8006]

Yall crazy if you think your supposed to give your 30 year old running back 20 carries a game, they saving him for the playoffs I guarantee he’ll be unleashed

[@tiddablacksaav8634]

Somebody pull up this week's Stephen a hate for the ravens, prior to the game please!!! Between Stephen a and the facility Lamar will never get his flowers

[@tiddablacksaav8634]

Shannon Sharpe "we did do something special down bmore in 2000.😂😂😂Who runs the North? WE DOOOOO😂

[@OGSkillz-ml2eq]

💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤

[@anibalperez7072]

I disagree with that, that the Baltimore Ravens will lose the first round, not anymore, and I agree Shannon about Baltimore,we got everything but we got to play without penalties

[@truspirit1925]

They haven't won the division yet if at all, and he's 2 n 5 against the steelers so oh yeah he's the king of the north.

[@IG.Lajet_]

Last 6 Years, Ravens won the Division 3 times. Its safe to say he the king of the North

[@kiyanwest149]

2-4 but ok

[@AnthonyBoone-qk6it]

Now he happy 😂😂😂he a funny dude

[@seymourblankbanks5589]

if lamar lost to pittsburgh all media wouldve killed him and started that no big wins talk

[@jkink8049]

Lamar having his best season ever but I’m sure he will shit the bed by the postseason just like Josh Allen so we have no hope we mide as well get ready for swift bowl 2025

[@gerardoglesby9258]

I agree with everything Shannon says

[@Cookndabooks]

Winning 1 game makes you King of the division??? 🤔🤔🤔

[@hunt_]

LET A NAYSAYER KNOW LAMAR

[@drb5003]

So let's just stop the BS. Josh Allen and Joe Burrow should be measured too.🤡

[@johnmadden2106]

Chiefs are going to smack the Steelers. 5 straight years without a division title incoming The ravens are going to take the division with a win over Houston and Cleveland. I don’t think they Steelers are going to beat cincy either

[@kiyanwest149]

It pains them to talk good about Lamar

[@est.inthe80s]

Looking like a backstreet boy is crazy

Shannon is wrong Travis is better than mark Andrews and isiah is faster than Henry and worthy is better than flowers

Where is RC hating ass 😂

[@silvergold2140]

Steven A.. The Only Thing Lamar Jackson Is King Of Is Being The King Of Choking In The Playoff's, 2-4,, No Super bowls.. Yet Patrick Mahomes, won the last 2 super bow's, 3 in total, won his division the last 9 seasons MAHOMES IS THE KING.. NOT CHOKING LAMAR.

[@kiyanwest149]

Easy to win when they refs rig the games for you no one cares about the rigged Super Bowls the chiefs win so scripted

[@bodyguard8257]

So Lamar call plays lol

[@Waaavvyy]

Shannon Sharpe so fun self righteous it aint even funny. Boi gets on ny nerve
