The Herd | Lamar Jackson will face Brock Purdy on MNF game – Colin Cowherd reacts

And I think there’s a reason for it because he missed 10 games in December and January the last two years and Baltimore went 2 and8 and everybody in the world knew Baltimore was going to resign him everybody in the world knew you watch Baltimore last couple of years

Without Lamar Jackson did you think they were going to let him go and you’ve watched Baltimore this year number one seed last couple of years with Lamar Jackson number one number two seeds did you think they were going to let him go I’ll tell you Baltimore is never going to let him

Go in his prime and CID city is not going to let Mahomes go and buffalo is not going to let Josh Allen go and the Chargers aren’t going to let Justin Herbert go so I think the reason there wasn’t a big um mad rush to get Lamar Jackson was he’d been injured that’s

Part of it he was going to be expensive certainly Ravens weren’t letting him go and everybody knew it but the NFL has a lot of poor owners and poor GMS and poor coaches they lack vision people in my business the good ones have it the average ones don’t

Vision a lot of people in the NFL and every business have to see something before they get something in Tech the money’s in seeing stuff before it happens same in the NFL it’s called Patrick Mahomes it’s called Brady in every field if you can see stuff before it

Happens they get the trophies you get the wealth you get the stature the Ravens have always had a vision for Lamar Jackson day one and have adapted to his unique stylistic traits throughout his career there’s been this discussion of what Lamar doesn’t do but the Ravens have never

Been concerned with that instead of concern they’ve been consumed with figuring out how to best support this unicorn this one of one even in the NFL with lots of smart people there’s a bunch of followers you need need Vision with Lamar Jackson day one you needed Vision when you drafted him you needed

Vision his rookie year you needed Vision last week he’s just different stylistically personality skill set he’s different and a lot of teams in this league draft out of fear they don’t want to be mocked if they make a mistake and he was a different cat I watched him in college and I’m like

Uhuhuh I didn’t byy into the he has to try out a receiver stuff but I was like I don’t know if that works he run around a lot but it worked really fast week 11 it worked I talked to two GMS that played him twice they’re like the first

Time you play him if you’ve never played him he’s going to blow you out in fact go asked NFC teams this year who don’t get a play him regularly that have to go to Baltimore and play Detroit and Seattle he’ll wear you out I mean there’s Ka that are comps to Mahomes

There are guys I mean Matt Stafford can do arm angle stuff like Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen and Jaylen Herz can run around like Patrick mahom there’s nothing like Lamar there’s nothing like him and so I’m glad that he stayed with the Ravens I’m glad there wasn’t a huge

Market I’m glad somebody didn’t pursue Lamar Jackson he has found the perfect family and the perfect fit and they’ve never been concerned with how it would look what they know is when Lamar is healthy and Lamar has support he ends up a number one two or three seed and he wins 75 to

80% of his games this is one of those you know when Aaron and the Packers split they probably would have been better staying together for the next three years Aaron wouldn’t be in this circus Jordan love Growing Pains divorces are tough I’ve been through one I love the fact that the

Ravens get Lamar Lamar’s loyal to the Ravens they’ve never been concerned with what he can’t do simply consumed with what he can and I think that explains why there wasn’t a market he is the Ravens he’s committed he’s tough he’s Relentless he’s Twitchy he’s unique so

Are the Ravens it’s a perfect match I wouldn’t want to see him in any other uniform jmck with the news no turn on the news this is the herdline news people read really loved our Brock py discussion yesterday what was it chalk or Brock or it was

Brock right right right they love that they love it uh people are enjoying this I think we’re going to have to do it daily let’s start with it shall we the ners they’ve got maccaffrey in the MVP mix as well as py well the goat Tom Brady future Fox teammate of ours said

That mcaffrey should be the favorite to win the award I remember the first time I actually got a glimpse of Christian was in the Rose bow he caught like an angle p against Iowa and ran for about 75 yard touchdown I was like well they’re not

Going to catch him he was a dynamic player then he’s a dynamic player now and I think all what he’s done this year is a lot what he’s done in the past it’s just you know it’s a different team with some different opportunities and they’ve been really Dynamic on offense so he’s

Definitely uh you know my mind the MVP favorite you know it’s interesting that a lot of times with running backs not all positions quarterbacks tend to get better over the next seven eight years right quarterback grows running backs it feels like a lot of times the best you

Get is the first three years in the league saquan Zeke most running backs don’t age better mcaffrey is better today than seven years ago like I think this is the best version of him that’s what makes him unique is that almost there’s certain positions where guys like left tackle guys get better year

Two three four five six quarterback you’re three four five six s running back rarely year six you’ve seen the best of it now Derk Henry developed later didn’t do much first couple years mcaffrey now is better than two years ago better than four years ago now part

Of it the system but his cutting he doesn’t get hurt anymore never gets injured he is faster than he’s ever been he breaks more tackles than he’s ever done he’s so historically unique that running back do not age well except CMC um I’m I’m just

Curious so when it comes to the MVP vote okay remember it’s not you know we can like to think we’re influencing the vote but it’s a bunch of media guys we zero who cover the lead that’s the weird part about this do you think they will vote for a running back Christian mcaffrey

Remember quarterbacks on the award like nine years running all we talk about all the time is quarterbacks are worth to the point spread how about or do you think they will look at the numbers and say well geez it’s got to be Brock py I think these two will split the vote and

Somebody else will win it no who’s just somebody else Tyreek Hill has three great games no they’re not come on I’m just saying these two are going to split the vote it’ll be a 6040 either way they’ll split the vote and somebody will come in and win it that’s what I think’s

Going to happen Lamar Jack by the way if Lamar Jackson beats the Niners on is it Monday night well yeah we’re we agree with that if Lamar wins that game I think he vaults ahead I also think if Josh Allen runs the table no remember dude even running the table he may not

The division so what Brock and Christian are both going to get a ton of votes so they’re going to split that thing there is no Universal belief that it’s either Brock or Christian it’s all being split so it’s why wouldn’t Tua take some of Tyreek Hill’s votes if why

Are they not splitting it well they’re not nobody considers Tua an MVP he’s not even in the discussion only time Tyreek Hill does anything is when Tua throws him the ball well that’s a little silly if if Christian mcaffry and P you’re going to split the vote why wouldn’t Tua

And Tyreek because it’s a different component entirely like like Tua literally when Tyreek doesn’t have a great game loses Brock prie and Christian mcaffrey when they both play they win if they both didn’t they’d lose it’s that nobody’s talking about two you’re you’re strong I don’t think two is a guy but I

Think nobody does not you’re making up an argument that doesn’t exist two is not in the MVP race it’s over nobody to nobody’s kills in the MVP race yes I think people are if he has three great game if he goes off against the Dallas Cowboys this week you don’t think he’s

In the MVP race well how does he go off he’s not running punts back he’s not taking handoffs like mcaffry he beats donon Bland who bites on two outs he’s terrible sorry
