Nothing seems to have been resolved after the AFC Title Game! There is still much disagreement over which quarterback is better, Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson. Even after Mahomes’ team defeated Jackson’s team 17-10 and won the MVP award for the Super Bowl, the controversy is still very much alive. especially in light of Jackson’s NFL MVP victory.
DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy, two past Super Bowl champions, offered their opinions on the ongoing quarterback dilemma in the premiere episode of the 25/10 Show. Mahomes was comfortably positioned ahead of Jackson. Although Jackson has accomplished a lot, his performance numbers are not much higher than those of Bears player Justin Fields.
How do quarterbacks Mahomes and Lamar Jackson compare?
Avery is an excellent quarterback coach who has worked with players like Justin Fields, Deshaun Watson, C.J. Stroud, and Jalen Hurts. He has been keeping tabs on Mahomes and Jackson’s development. The quarterback coach likened Mahomes’ accuracy with the ball to that of a proficient pitcher who is proficient in three different throw patterns. “Mahomes can throw the ball three different ways, and he throws it just as well,” said Avery. Mahomes demonstrates his versatility by making accurate passes that are straight, touch, and high-trajectory.
On the other hand, Jackson brings a different set of extraordinary skills to the table. His evolution as a pocket passer has significantly altered defensive strategies against him. Avery pointed out, “There was a point in time where people thought, ‘OK, let’s just make him throw.’ But that’s not the way it is now.” Jackson’s ability to dominate from the pocket while retaining his unmatched athleticism makes him a formidable challenge for any defense.
Avery drew parallels between Jackson and other legendary dual-threat QBs like Michael Vick and Cam Newton. According to Avery, Jackson’s athleticism, combined with his improved pocket passing, sets him apart. “He just throws the ball so well from the pocket. Like, I don’t think people understand how good of a job he has done with that part of his game,” Avery observed. While Mahomes may not outpace Jackson in a footrace, his agility and ability to create space are second to none.
