Great video! Lamar Jackson is without question, the most disrespected superstar in NFL history. I'm just glad that he's confident enough to tone out the doubters and continue to ball out even with the odds against him.
The #1 overall pick of that draft is on his 3rd team. The 3rd overall pick is a backup somewhere. The 7th pick is Josh Allen. The next qb before Lamar is not in the league or on his 6th team. The only one to win an MVP and is still doubted is a proven winner at his position is Humble Lamar Jackson.. May God bless him with a superbowl championship.
Appreciate the video. Only thing I’ll say is, if you reached out to the Ravens flock we’d show you the plays that really display his INSTINCTUAL ability to play QB that is why he’s so successful! And 2019 was four years ago, which is where most of your clips came from - he’s a WAY better NFL QB right now
Thanks, I did use mostly 2019 clips for NFL footage but the basis was that the narrative of him proving draft doubters wrong was completed when he won the MVP. Although, I would revisit his story if he wins a Super Bowl, since he many aren't ranking him as a top 5 QB in the NFL right now. Probably should have expanded the footage though, thanks for the feedback!
I’m going to say it again no quarterback is required to do more than LJ 🎱. And he’s done more with less than any other quarterback has. I can’t wait for all the haters to change their target 🎯 after this year because there’s going to be absolutely nothing else negative to say about LJ🎱!!!
I've been a Ravens fan since day one. ANYbody who knows ANYthing about the Ravens knows that before Lamar the Ravens were the team QBs and WRs went toTO DIE. It's rooted in Newsome's antiquated philosophy that WRs are skill position players NOT WORTH INVESTING IN! It's HIS CORE PHILOSOPHY. And it showed. The Ravens sucked at offense but excelled on D and STs. Lamar was both asked to do more then criticized at the same time for only being a running QB. It's been a crapfest since before he arrived. And all he's done was prove, time and time again, that he was right and they were wrong. FINALLY, the Ravens brought in an OC who knows what he's doing and they finally drafted a WR, Zay, who's killing it. One caveat however: The Lamar bashing won't stop. They'll keep moving the goal posts. Hell, after Lamar and the Ravens trounced the Niners, Sexy Rexy claimed it was the DEFENSE, not Lamar, that was the real standout in the Niners game. Richard "DICK" Sherman is still ranting about the "stats". Stephan A. is his usual a-hole self. Shannon NOT TOO SHARPE is another one blasting Lamar over and over again. So really...I see no end to the bashing.

Great video. There's something I've always found endearing about Lamar. I'm not a Ravens fan but I love watching him play. He needs to take his team to the playoffs to quiet his doubters though. I believe he finally has the pieces in place this year to help him do it!
It is always shocking when Skip decides to not troll. Lamar is primed for a big year. Ravens secondary seems like their biggest risk to a deep playoff run.
I just LOVE watching that man play ball. Exciting, resourceful, I've watched him literally will his team to keep fighting and win. Can't wait for this season to start!! Go Ravens and LJ8!!!
The medias darling Tom Brady loves Lamar and told him he’s next maybe they should listen to their poster child QB because Lamar is something magical 💜🖤💜
So, can I spell it out for all you haters!!! As a qb your job is to get your key players into the game & when all else fail call your own # FOR THE WIN!! Noone has done that better than Lamar not even P. Mahomes!

Heartfelt video bro.... been watching lamar since high school in 2015 and to see him rise above all the unwarranted hate is extremely motivating! No matter what happens in his career moving forward, I am extremely proud of Lamar Mf Jackson!
I always felt like his arm was underrated its just tht the system we were in, and the personnel didnt match up. I believe he could lead the league in passing tds again i think thts a hot take but when u think about how he did it with seth roberts and willie snead doesn’t seem to far fetched
I think he has a relatively strong arm, but his accuracy outside the numbers is the issue. He makes up for it by being an insane athlete, but he doesn't have any more/less issues than I could point out with other top QBs throwiing the ball.
@@theunlikelysuccess just saying i felt like accuracy isnt a big issue, i also think having a bigger body receiver like a pickens (who i wanted us to pick) would help show tht aspect isnt a hole in his game but i always understand the criticism when its fair

I can’t wait until this regular season gets started 💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜 and Lamar Jackson was responsible for at least 70% of The Ravens total offense, so can anybody out there, imagine how much this Ravens offense is going to impose their will on opposing defenses 😳 The way I see it. Lamar Jackson is about to silence not only the crowd of people that did not believe that he could do it ( including myself ) = because I don’t follow college football 🤷🏾♂️ but he will silence all of his haters too 🤫 Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh Btw. How Bout Them O’s ! 🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡 and this is the year of The Birds Of Baltimore City & Y’all better recognize 😏 ✌🏾👊🏾
I’m a Rams fan, but I’m also a big football fan in general. Lamar getting asked to play WR so often still blows my mind. He won the Heisman, and they were like, cool, can you play receiver? Insane
@@theunlikelysuccess Well, I get it, and though I am a fan of the three major sports, but there are just way too many bowls and D 1 schools and colleges, so I just don’t follow college football & unless a kid’s name gets as big as a Johnny Manzel or a Manti Te’o, I honestly don’t know who they are & this includes ( Lamar Jackson ) and he isn’t your typical QB, because when I first saw him, I was like ( what in the world are the Ravens doing 😳 ) because I was going by the fact, that he was not 6 ft 5 / 230 lbs ( you know ) the typical QB, but once I saw him play, I told everybody on my job, how wrong that I was & I even told the people on my job, if they place Lamar Jackson in a system like a Drew Brees type of offense ( then watch out ) because ( Lamar Jackson ) is a weapon all by himself, and I watch how he plays the game, and he often holds on to the ball, ( not because he is show boating, but because, clearly his receivers can’t get separation, so he razzle dazzles a lot trying to buy time for his receivers to become an open target, but with these new additions this year, watch the difference 😂✌🏾💜🖤💜 lol & if the defenses thought that it was hard to contain Lamar Jackson before 😳 just wait lol and those defenses won’t know what even hit them 👊🏾
@@shawnkincheloesr5192 new receivers are going to make things interesting. Lamar is the ultimate weapon when healthy. Also, I track college football, but can't say I catch everyone either. There are so many teams and players. It's a lot to digest. I'll be rooting for Lamar, but I have to some extent since he came into the league. He's too good of a guy to root against.
Definitely! been a fan forever and OBJ , Lamar , Andrews and the rest of the offence deadly and the defence with Ronnie Stanley's comeback season this year!
Very strong case for him to win that second Heisman, but Baker did have a very good season. I wouldn’t call Josh Allen a bum, but the other guys haven’t lived up to expectations. Lamar was also very upset at the fall in the draft. Been working to prove them VERY wrong.
Dope video... Im not a ravens fan but lj8 is my fav qb... And i love how u put this together and put the truth out there. The only thing i would change and its ok to say bcus the nfl has a history of doing this. They dont ask lesser talented qbs to change positions. U named those that get drafted above him and he is better than EVERY QB IN HIS DRAFT CLASS INCLUDING JOSH but they only ask black qbs to change positions and they always have. They asked cordell stewart thats how and why he played 2 positions with the steelers. But bfore Stewart up to now with lj8... We know sam darnold trash but he hasnt been asked to be a punter... How many chances will baker get.... Rosen just faded off but he was hot garbage and he was never asked to be the mascot... Hell the bills were thinking about trading josh until they got diggs and with diggs josh still do dumb stuff... And the last playoff game last year he quit on the team basically and until now lj8 has never had a diggs type of player and still has accomplished more as a qb than allen with lesser talent around him.... But yea they only ask black qbs to change positions and if the white ones do change is because they were given a choice to do something else if they wanted to but if they dont they can continue to stink it uo at the qb spot
Thanks for watching. My video is focused on celebrating Lamar overcoming the ask to be a WR. I can say there have been other QBs asked to play WR, but they didn't have Lamar's success in college. The part I found interesting was that college recruiters also asked him to change positions. I am planning a future video on Vick and will be interested to see if it happened to him. Appreciate your views and your comment.
The notion that he would just play WR for the 1st time in his life in the NFL is not only disrespectful to his personal career achievements up to that point but HIGHLY disrespectful to the WR position as a whole and it shows that they dont believe that position takes real skill or intelligence.
@Tigercam24 This was one of the most wild things to me too. I know there have been guys who could do it, but there have been several that failed also. Lamar as a wide receiver would have been a disservice to him and NFL fans.
True, I like Todd McShay on draft stuff but he’s about it. I listen to a lot of the analysts, but it’s such an in exact science. Who do you like from the rookie QBs this year?
@@theunlikelysuccess I like Bryce Young, Anthony Richardson, CJ Stroud. I think they can all have success. I think Will Levi’s being drafted by the titans was a mistake because they’re were already drafting Malik Willis and I wish a team like the Raiders would have drafted him. I think what your video shows is that he’s hot take artists go to the absolute extreme for no reason at all.
@@Watchingvideoslikeu it’s crazy hot extreme they are. There were so many more clips I could have used. The class this year has promise, but I agree Levis could be in a bad spot. Feels like they gave up on Willis after one year. Most times, QB seems to be about what team you were drafted to and whether they maximize the player talent. Exceptions obviously, but a lot of talented QBs are hosed by a situation before they even start.
@@theunlikelysuccess totally agree look at Trey Lance. He was drafted to a team in win-now mode and doesn’t have the room to make the normal developmental mistakes that young quarterbacks are usually afforded.
@@Watchingvideoslikeu Great example. They knew Lance was a developmental player and he basically got 3 halves to play. Luckily for him, he was drafted high enough to make millions immediately.
They started an untrue narrative, and people without an eye for pure talent jumped on board. Instead of looking at how great he is, they immediately look for something to criticize. He has the most total TDs before the age of 24 and Lamar Jackson leads that list by a LARGE MARGIN! The best QB in the NFL is LJ8
I can't go to the best QB in the NFL, but I think Lamar is the most underrated. Injuries and lack of playoff success hurts his case, but he is truly incredilbe to watch.
"It's disheartening to witness the prejudice and racism directed at him. Some media figures and outlets like ESPN believe they have the authority to dictate his actions. Notables like Bill Polian of the Colts, and Kiper were even corrected by his mother. Yet, no one wants the label of 'racist.' It's clear to many what's being implied and said. There seems to be a preference for athletes who fit a traditional mold, reminding them of their own kin, leading to sympathies for individuals like Colt McCoy Darnold, and Mayfield." I don’t even like the water down documentary. You are too nice to the institutions that gravitate toward White traditional qbs. Diagnose this properly and it should hurt and be embarrassing for all those responsible.
I think media and scouts got away with fitting players into previous molds for a long time. Players who looked different, played different, or had an innovative lean are always questioned or ranked lower. My video is intended to highlight Lamar and how he overcame the doubts around his ability to play a position he's succeeded at. I didn't focus on diagnosing the cause for the doubts, I chose to focus on Lamar proving them all wrong. Appreciate your opinion and thank you for watching.
This conversation is a mirror image of nearly everything wrong with the world. We literally can't be honest. It is like talking to a lair and trying to reason with a lair. Like we are gas lighting and can't stop. Is a overwhelming part of the NFL QB conversation we just don't say it. Black quarterbacks are always looked at as glass half empty while white QB's are looked at as glass half full. Every draft seasons with anonymous scouts questioning something related to the cognitive ability of a Black man playing QB... "can't he learn the offence?".. "he played in a spread system"... on and on and on.. always some type of comment about the cognitive ability of a black person.... just look how the talk about how Sam Howell is the answer after 1 start throwing 168 yards in a loss.. vs Desmon 'Riter' who played significately more games and had more "we got something here" moments... but he tone surrounding him is "replace at the next draft" Artificial inflating white quarterbacks and mitigating black QB's in EVERY draft cycle. I see Drake Maye get hyped up as the 2nd best QB maybe best QB in next years draft cycle. While completely ignoring players like Micheal Penix Jr the nations leading passer who over that season AND CAREER has been more consistent more productive. While ignoring Drake Mayes last 4 games of 2022 losing 4 straight games totally 268 yards in any of those games max and 4 TD and 4 INT over that stretch... I look how Quin Ewers is hyped up and i just keep thinking to myself if that QB competition at Texas was open he may not even BE the starting QB.. and i am not talking about the Manning kid.... a complete OVER hype on EVERY level of football from highschool to college and in the pros.... to see Jared Goff get hyped up when his career stats and performance has look fairly similar to to Ryan Tannihill minus a super bowl appearence. While Dak Presscot is drilled by fans and media for tossing interceptions when his career high in INT is 15 for a season... 4 more than Josh Allen last year.. With more career touchdowns and less Interceptions than Goff... when Eli Manning had 3 seasons of 20 plus interceptions...While the 49ers stayed with Alex Smith on their roster for 6 years before he finally had a break thru season (which in reality was him going 17TD to 4 int and leading the NFL in sacks taken and throw aways in his BREAK OUT season )..... Massive Massive levels of hypocrisy.... when i look back and ask see 20 years of drafting NFL QBs and i simply ask.. who made a pro bowl.. and 2nd contract or a conference championship game?.... of white QBs drafted from 2002 to 2022 of the 59 drafted in the 1st and 2nd rounds 20 fit that discription 34%... where as black QBs over that same stretch drafted in the 1st and 2nd round that either made a probowl, 2nd contract, or conference championship game.. 26 was drafted and 18 met that standard 61.5%.... nearly double the % chance of panning out. There is a sense of this changing happening and that change was felt all the way back with Warren Moon. That if given a fair chance that all 32 teams would have QB's that are black. And this the NFL and some media and fans fight against this tooth and nail. The double standard and gas lighting is easy to see. It is in EVERY element of this sport and all levels and is a microcosm of the greater society. Lamar Jackson can throw for 6000 yards and rush for 2000 yards and lead a undefeated Ravens team winning it all .... and these same people will rather have a white QB not as productive. That is why old school white men like Bill Polin etc just have to all die off because unless Lamar Jackson turns out to be actual Jesus in his return they will always want to switch him to wideout. So asking why and trying to do a deep dive on this without look at the history and being HONEST just makes you another person that can't be trusted because it is just more gas lighting.... Race is BIG part of this. Because of Lamar Jackson was white red head white guy named Patrick McCullen.... Patrick McCullens Jersey's would be EVERYWHERE and EVERYONE following him like a cult following. That is the truth about this that people just won't discuss honestly .... and MOST are tired of being constantly lied too.
My aim on this video, and others I’ve made is to celebrate someone who faced adversity and succeeded. Stereotypes in the NFL definitely exist, and they are part of nearly every position, unfortunately. The aim of my video on Lamar is to highlight him as a person and player for ignoring the doubts and finding a way to overcome. Thanks for watching!
@@theunlikelysuccess Understood, it is just hard to enjoy things that are so slanted with obvious bias that is so powerful... everyone kinda just talks around it and silently agrees not to talk about it. Sort of like how physical abuse on woman was (uncle Buck always kicking Aunt Crystals teeth in and the family pretending it aint happening at family dinner with her caked up make up). Sorry for the reaction, it just hate that we talk around issues that are obvious. Like nobody standing up to the bully is how it feels. But i appreciate the video form your view point.
The media changed the way they talked about quarterback when Lamar Jackson came along,Blackman continue to have the old media to change what they say about his play and what a quarterback should do nothing but a white wash this is the life of a Black person
Funny none of these bs media ppl ever say how Lamar lead the NFL in passing TDs one season saying Tebow 2.0 should get that clown 🤡 fired. These clowns actually said Sam Darnold was gonna be a better QB😂😂
The Tebow 2.0 sound was too good when I found that one. Darnold was unpolished coming out of USC, never got the appeal imo, but who knows maybe he even turns it around.
Like Reverend Al favorite quote. Keeping it real. Lamar is black man. Haters get over it. Its 2023 not 1823..Them days will never come back. Click on your remote and just watch him and shut up.
I heard the stupid media praise Lamar the most over rated player who threw for only 21 TD's and he only won 1 playoff game, he's not the MVP and Most underrated player is Purdy Passer Rating of 116.9 and a QBR score of 74.7....!
@trt581 is Purdy one of the best three players on his own offense? Lamar had a bad game, but he had a good season. He outplayed Purdy head to head, and Purdy hasn’t played well in the playoffs this year either. Purdy is an incredible story and a very good player, but it’s disingenuous to compare his situation to Lamar’s.
Rich white men with influence is the reason why quarterbacks who have brown skin got very little chances from the beginning. Can't stop us all brother.

@@Ravensnation94 no defense for tribisky at all from me. The puzzling part of Lamar is that college recruiters asked him to play receiver also. I couldn't source why, and am going to do a video on Mike Vick in the future to research if he was asked somethine similar.
😂😂😂😂😂😢😂😂😢😢😂 Poor Lamar Jackson. The only person people have doubted, and the only Qb that has been ask, or thought to ask to change positions. LoL. People like this state things they don't know. 😂
The most direct comps for a Heisman winner asked to change positions would be Eric Crouch (primarily a runner at Nebraska), and Tim Tebow (played years in NFL at QB before being asked about TE). Other comps would have seen lesser success at the college level. Appreciate you watching and commenting on the video. Are there other Heisman-winning QB's I missed who were asked to change positions? The focus of the video was to highlight Lamar overcoming doubts and not to suggest he was the only doubted player. I plan on continuing to cover different players who had to overcome obstacles, not just Lamar and not just QB's.

The idea is to identify how we can all overcome, and I have responded to comments trying to bring back the focus. Thanks for the feedback.
Rise to what? We saw this same story with Vick. Gawdy play making, highlights, win nothing and WR's tell the team IN ADVANCE "do NOT draft me" because they know that playing with Lamar the "QB" is career suicide. We've seen this Lamar thing before and it always plays out the same way, his window is already closing, his character is suspect and he's already created more drama than success, completely TYPICAL.

He's a RB that can sort of make passes my daughter could complete.

Warren Moon didn't win anything either but HE was worth the money and threw the best spiral I've ever seen, he was a QB. The shelf life on these RB 'qb's' is LOW and the end comes quick.
Unfair statement since he didn't miss any games in 2018, he simply was a backup to Flacco to start. The only game he missed in 2019 was the week 17 game the coach sat him because Baltimore already had the #1 seed locked up. Then in 2020, the only game he missed was a game many on the team missed due to the former strength and conditioning coach giving half of the team covid. Lamar has played 5 seasons and only missed starts due to injury in 2 seasons. The games in those two seasons were critical and important, so I'm not here to act like hey weren't.

I can’t say exactly why they asked at each level. I think that because he is such an outstanding athlete they thought you could take advantage of him elsewhere. In the early 2000s they asked Eric Crouch to play WR after he won a Heisman, but he wasn’t the QB Lamar was in college.
Stop crying got dammit. The dude has 2mvp, had 2 seasons where he had the best team, a top 5defense every yr with a top 10 offense and is 2-4 in the playoff. to much is given MUCH IS EXPECTED. They did the same thing to Jordan till he won so enough with the bs
@tom97009 Not crying, just pointing out that it was odd. He definitely has to prove it in the playoffs. I think Lamar would acknowledge he hasn't played well enough to win.

I've been a Ravens fan since day one. ANYbody who knows ANYthing about the Ravens knows that before Lamar the Ravens were the team QBs and WRs went toTO DIE. It's rooted in Newsome's antiquated philosophy that WRs are skill position players NOT WORTH INVESTING IN! It's HIS CORE PHILOSOPHY. And it showed. The Ravens sucked at offense but excelled on D and STs. Lamar was both asked to do more then criticized at the same time for only being a running QB. It's been a crapfest since before he arrived. And all he's done was prove, time and time again, that he was right and they were wrong. FINALLY, the Ravens brought in an OC who knows what he's doing and they finally drafted a WR, Zay, who's killing it.
One caveat however: The Lamar bashing won't stop. They'll keep moving the goal posts. Hell, after Lamar and the Ravens trounced the Niners, Sexy Rexy claimed it was the DEFENSE, not Lamar, that was the real standout in the Niners game. Richard "DICK" Sherman is still ranting about the "stats". Stephan A. is his usual a-hole self. Shannon NOT TOO SHARPE is another one blasting Lamar over and over again. So really...I see no end to the bashing.
@@samk4801Stop crying got dammit. The dude has 2mvp, had 2 seasons where he had the best team and is 2-4 in the playoff to much is given MUCH IS EXPECTED. They did the same thing to Jordan till he won so enough
@@tom97009 STFU....There was never any talk about Jordan not being able to play basketball when he came into the NBA either... This video was made for idiots exactly like you. Lamar comes into the league and clowns like u were convinced he couldn't even play the position. He quickly proved u wrong on that front, and then when he didn't have automatic post season success you immediately move the goalpost and treated him like he was an underperforming #1 overall pick.
He’s about to win his 3rd mvp and will finish top 4 ever
Great video. There's something I've always found endearing about Lamar. I'm not a Ravens fan but I love watching him play. He needs to take his team to the playoffs to quiet his doubters though. I believe he finally has the pieces in place this year to help him do it!
He’s taken his team to the playoffs 4 times in 5 years 😂
Great video man. Also really liked the message towards the end. Stay true to who you are and keep chasing success
Appreciate it. Trying to highlight the success of people, especially since social and traditional media have the failures talked about so much.
Good vibes bro / keep up the good work thank God you’re not a hater 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Figured I’d try something new on the internet, and be positive 😂. There are more than enough haters out there already. Thanks for watching!
Shockingly skip bayless is one of the few that called his greatness. Hes not finished either. #theflock
It is always shocking when Skip decides to not troll. Lamar is primed for a big year. Ravens secondary seems like their biggest risk to a deep playoff run.
It was a lot of nay Sayers outside of the media, Lamar was doubted even after winning a hesiman
@eazymoneymane7789 I made this video a long ways back and probably due for a follow up. He's one of my favorite players in the league.
I just LOVE watching that man play ball. Exciting, resourceful, I've watched him literally will his team to keep fighting and win. Can't wait for this season to start!! Go Ravens and LJ8!!!
His playing style lends itself to watchability. He's a highlight reel at any moment.
The medias darling Tom Brady loves Lamar and told him he’s next maybe they should listen to their poster child QB because Lamar is something magical 💜🖤💜
Lamar is a game and position changer!
Agree. He has also been a humble leader of the Ravens.
What's so crazy is that He's going to go in the HOF as a quarterback watch!
Strong likelihood he will be the best rushing QB ever and his career longevity could make it a crazy high number. Barring anymore injuries.
Amazing vid

Lamar needs to win something to quiet the critics. He’s set up pretty good to do that this season.
He got paid and they added wide receivers. It will be interesting to see the offensive approach under the new OC.

I always felt like his arm was underrated its just tht the system we were in, and the personnel didnt match up. I believe he could lead the league in passing tds again i think thts a hot take but when u think about how he did it with seth roberts and willie snead doesn’t seem to far fetched
I think he has a relatively strong arm, but his accuracy outside the numbers is the issue. He makes up for it by being an insane athlete, but he doesn't have any more/less issues than I could point out with other top QBs throwiing the ball.

I can’t wait until this regular season gets started 💜🖤💜🖤💜🖤💜 and Lamar Jackson was responsible for at least 70% of The Ravens total offense, so can anybody out there, imagine how much this Ravens offense is going to impose their will on opposing defenses 😳 The way I see it. Lamar Jackson is about to silence not only the crowd of people that did not believe that he could do it ( including myself ) = because I don’t follow college football 🤷🏾♂️ but he will silence all of his haters too 🤫 Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh Btw. How Bout Them O’s ! 🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡🖤🧡 and this is the year of The Birds Of Baltimore City & Y’all better recognize 😏 ✌🏾👊🏾
I’m a Rams fan, but I’m also a big football fan in general. Lamar getting asked to play WR so often still blows my mind.
He won the Heisman, and they were like, cool, can you play receiver? Insane
@@theunlikelysuccess Well, I get it, and though I am a fan of the three major sports, but there are just way too many bowls and D 1 schools and colleges, so I just don’t follow college football & unless a kid’s name gets as big as a Johnny Manzel or a Manti Te’o, I honestly don’t know who they are & this includes ( Lamar Jackson ) and he isn’t your typical QB, because when I first saw him, I was like ( what in the world are the Ravens doing 😳 ) because I was going by the fact, that he was not 6 ft 5 / 230 lbs ( you know ) the typical QB, but once I saw him play, I told everybody on my job, how wrong that I was & I even told the people on my job, if they place Lamar Jackson in a system like a Drew Brees type of offense ( then watch out ) because ( Lamar Jackson ) is a weapon all by himself, and I watch how he plays the game, and he often holds on to the ball, ( not because he is show boating, but because, clearly his receivers can’t get separation, so he razzle dazzles a lot trying to buy time for his receivers to become an open target, but with these new additions this year, watch the difference 😂✌🏾💜🖤💜 lol & if the defenses thought that it was hard to contain Lamar Jackson before 😳 just wait lol and those defenses won’t know what even hit them 👊🏾
@@shawnkincheloesr5192 new receivers are going to make things interesting. Lamar is the ultimate weapon when healthy.

I'll be rooting for Lamar, but I have to some extent since he came into the league. He's too good of a guy to root against.
Definitely! been a fan forever and OBJ , Lamar , Andrews and the rest of the offence deadly and the defence with Ronnie Stanley's comeback season this year!
@@matthewq3089 OBJ as part of the Rams was a revelation. Thought he was a diva before the Super Bowl run. Will be rooting for him to play well also!

WAIT WHAAAAT. FOR A FRESHMAN. THOSE STATS ARE INCREDIBLE
Couldn't help but compare his freshman stats to his sophomore and junior seasons.
People don’t always know what to do with generational talent. He probably would be a great WR but he said what he said lol. He a QB
Sad that the media placed all those bums ahead of lamar and giving away his 2nd heisman to Baker Mayfield
Very strong case for him to win that second Heisman, but Baker did have a very good season. I wouldn’t call Josh Allen a bum, but the other guys haven’t lived up to expectations.
Lamar was also very upset at the fall in the draft. Been working to prove them VERY wrong.
The majority of people on UA-cam still claim lamar is not a real qb
@klardfarkus3891Unfortunately true. Lamar is proving them massively wrong as his career goes on though.
Dope video... Im not a ravens fan but lj8 is my fav qb... And i love how u put this together and put the truth out there. The only thing i would change and its ok to say bcus the nfl has a history of doing this. They dont ask lesser talented qbs to change positions. U named those that get drafted above him and he is better than EVERY QB IN HIS DRAFT CLASS INCLUDING JOSH but they only ask black qbs to change positions and they always have. They asked cordell stewart thats how and why he played 2 positions with the steelers. But bfore Stewart up to now with lj8... We know sam darnold trash but he hasnt been asked to be a punter... How many chances will baker get.... Rosen just faded off but he was hot garbage and he was never asked to be the mascot... Hell the bills were thinking about trading josh until they got diggs and with diggs josh still do dumb stuff... And the last playoff game last year he quit on the team basically and until now lj8 has never had a diggs type of player and still has accomplished more as a qb than allen with lesser talent around him.... But yea they only ask black qbs to change positions and if the white ones do change is because they were given a choice to do something else if they wanted to but if they dont they can continue to stink it uo at the qb spot
Thanks for watching. My video is focused on celebrating Lamar overcoming the ask to be a WR. I can say there have been other QBs asked to play WR, but they didn't have Lamar's success in college. The part I found interesting was that college recruiters also asked him to change positions. I am planning a future video on Vick and will be interested to see if it happened to him.
Appreciate your views and your comment.
Not a single team of all 32. Not one. Except us.
The notion that he would just play WR for the 1st time in his life in the NFL is not only disrespectful to his personal career achievements up to that point but HIGHLY disrespectful to the WR position as a whole and it shows that they dont believe that position takes real skill or intelligence.
@Tigercam24 This was one of the most wild things to me too. I know there have been guys who could do it, but there have been several that failed also. Lamar as a wide receiver would have been a disservice to him and NFL fans.
Well done.
Thank you! Hopefully you get a chance to check out a few of our other videos.
I hope he see this foreal
Thanks for watching and saying that!
Great video on LJ the great! 💞🎱 - #L1C4
Thank you! Appreciate you watching!
If you’re a football fan. Trust your own eyes, because these sports media pundits are usually always wrong.
True, I like Todd McShay on draft stuff but he’s about it. I listen to a lot of the analysts, but it’s such an in exact science. Who do you like from the rookie QBs this year?
@@theunlikelysuccess I like Bryce Young, Anthony Richardson, CJ Stroud. I think they can all have success. I think Will Levi’s being drafted by the titans was a mistake because they’re were already drafting Malik Willis and I wish a team like the Raiders would have drafted him. I think what your video shows is that he’s hot take artists go to the absolute extreme for no reason at all.
@@Watchingvideoslikeu it’s crazy hot extreme they are. There were so many more clips I could have used. The class this year has promise, but I agree Levis could be in a bad spot. Feels like they gave up on Willis after one year.
Most times, QB seems to be about what team you were drafted to and whether they maximize the player talent.
Exceptions obviously, but a lot of talented QBs are hosed by a situation before they even start.
@@theunlikelysuccess totally agree look at Trey Lance. He was drafted to a team in win-now mode and doesn’t have the room to make the normal developmental mistakes that young quarterbacks are usually afforded.
@@Watchingvideoslikeu Great example. They knew Lance was a developmental player and he basically got 3 halves to play. Luckily for him, he was drafted high enough to make millions immediately.
They started an untrue narrative, and people without an eye for pure talent jumped on board. Instead of looking at how great he is, they immediately look for something to criticize. He has the most total TDs before the age of 24 and Lamar Jackson leads that list by a LARGE MARGIN! The best QB in the NFL is LJ8
I can't go to the best QB in the NFL, but I think Lamar is the most underrated. Injuries and lack of playoff success hurts his case, but he is truly incredilbe to watch.
"It's disheartening to witness the prejudice and racism directed at him. Some media figures and outlets like ESPN believe they have the authority to dictate his actions. Notables like Bill Polian of the Colts, and Kiper were even corrected by his mother. Yet, no one wants the label of 'racist.' It's clear to many what's being implied and said. There seems to be a preference for athletes who fit a traditional mold, reminding them of their own kin, leading to sympathies for individuals like Colt McCoy Darnold, and Mayfield." I don’t even like the water down documentary. You are too nice to the institutions that gravitate toward White traditional qbs. Diagnose this properly and it should hurt and be embarrassing for all those responsible.
I think media and scouts got away with fitting players into previous molds for a long time. Players who looked different, played different, or had an innovative lean are always questioned or ranked lower.
My video is intended to highlight Lamar and how he overcame the doubts around his ability to play a position he's succeeded at. I didn't focus on diagnosing the cause for the doubts, I chose to focus on Lamar proving them all wrong. Appreciate your opinion and thank you for watching.
This conversation is a mirror image of nearly everything wrong with the world. We literally can't be honest. It is like talking to a lair and trying to reason with a lair. Like we are gas lighting and can't stop.
Is a overwhelming part of the NFL QB conversation we just don't say it. Black quarterbacks are always looked at as glass half empty while white QB's are looked at as glass half full. Every draft seasons with anonymous scouts questioning something related to the cognitive ability of a Black man playing QB... "can't he learn the offence?".. "he played in a spread system"... on and on and on.. always some type of comment about the cognitive ability of a black person.... just look how the talk about how Sam Howell is the answer after 1 start throwing 168 yards in a loss.. vs Desmon 'Riter' who played significately more games and had more "we got something here" moments... but he tone surrounding him is "replace at the next draft"
Artificial inflating white quarterbacks and mitigating black QB's in EVERY draft cycle. I see Drake Maye get hyped up as the 2nd best QB maybe best QB in next years draft cycle. While completely ignoring players like Micheal Penix Jr the nations leading passer who over that season AND CAREER has been more consistent more productive. While ignoring Drake Mayes last 4 games of 2022 losing 4 straight games totally 268 yards in any of those games max and 4 TD and 4 INT over that stretch... I look how Quin Ewers is hyped up and i just keep thinking to myself if that QB competition at Texas was open he may not even BE the starting QB.. and i am not talking about the Manning kid.... a complete OVER hype on EVERY level of football from highschool to college and in the pros.... to see Jared Goff get hyped up when his career stats and performance has look fairly similar to to Ryan Tannihill minus a super bowl appearence. While Dak Presscot is drilled by fans and media for tossing interceptions when his career high in INT is 15 for a season... 4 more than Josh Allen last year.. With more career touchdowns and less Interceptions than Goff... when Eli Manning had 3 seasons of 20 plus interceptions...While the 49ers stayed with Alex Smith on their roster for 6 years before he finally had a break thru season (which in reality was him going 17TD to 4 int and leading the NFL in sacks taken and throw aways in his BREAK OUT season )..... Massive Massive levels of hypocrisy.... when i look back and ask see 20 years of drafting NFL QBs and i simply ask.. who made a pro bowl.. and 2nd contract or a conference championship game?.... of white QBs drafted from 2002 to 2022 of the 59 drafted in the 1st and 2nd rounds 20 fit that discription 34%... where as black QBs over that same stretch drafted in the 1st and 2nd round that either made a probowl, 2nd contract, or conference championship game.. 26 was drafted and 18 met that standard 61.5%.... nearly double the % chance of panning out.
There is a sense of this changing happening and that change was felt all the way back with Warren Moon. That if given a fair chance that all 32 teams would have QB's that are black. And this the NFL and some media and fans fight against this tooth and nail. The double standard and gas lighting is easy to see. It is in EVERY element of this sport and all levels and is a microcosm of the greater society.
Lamar Jackson can throw for 6000 yards and rush for 2000 yards and lead a undefeated Ravens team winning it all .... and these same people will rather have a white QB not as productive. That is why old school white men like Bill Polin etc just have to all die off because unless Lamar Jackson turns out to be actual Jesus in his return they will always want to switch him to wideout.
So asking why and trying to do a deep dive on this without look at the history and being HONEST just makes you another person that can't be trusted because it is just more gas lighting.... Race is BIG part of this. Because of Lamar Jackson was white red head white guy named Patrick McCullen.... Patrick McCullens Jersey's would be EVERYWHERE and EVERYONE following him like a cult following. That is the truth about this that people just won't discuss honestly .... and MOST are tired of being constantly lied too.
My aim on this video, and others I’ve made is to celebrate someone who faced adversity and succeeded.
Stereotypes in the NFL definitely exist, and they are part of nearly every position, unfortunately. The aim of my video on Lamar is to highlight him as a person and player for ignoring the doubts and finding a way to overcome.
Thanks for watching!
@@theunlikelysuccess Understood, it is just hard to enjoy things that are so slanted with obvious bias that is so powerful... everyone kinda just talks around it and silently agrees not to talk about it.

Funny none of these bs media ppl ever say how Lamar lead the NFL in passing TDs one season saying Tebow 2.0 should get that clown 🤡 fired. These clowns actually said Sam Darnold was gonna be a better QB😂😂
The Tebow 2.0 sound was too good when I found that one. Darnold was unpolished coming out of USC, never got the appeal imo, but who knows maybe he even turns it around.
😂😂 thats my runningback 😂😂 naa but fr he gonna humble everybody this year
Beginning part of the comment in full T.O. voice 😂
Like Reverend Al favorite quote. Keeping it real. Lamar is black man. Haters get over it. Its 2023 not 1823..Them days will never come back. Click on your remote and just watch him and shut up.
I heard the stupid media praise Lamar the most over rated player who threw for only 21 TD's and he only won 1 playoff game, he's not the MVP and Most underrated player is Purdy Passer Rating of 116.9 and a QBR score of 74.7....!
@trt581 is Purdy one of the best three players on his own offense? Lamar had a bad game, but he had a good season. He outplayed Purdy head to head, and Purdy hasn’t played well in the playoffs this year either.
Purdy is an incredible story and a very good player, but it’s disingenuous to compare his situation to Lamar’s.
Even Josh rossen was higher than lamar?
Every team needs a black QB.... why is this still happening 😭
Rich white men with influence is the reason why quarterbacks who have brown skin got very little chances from the beginning. Can't stop us all brother.

@@stackovershine I'm not sure how good he'll be. The new coaching staff in Indy and the owner might not be a perfect situation. Hopefully they give him a few years to grow.
I’ll say what this guy won’t as to why he was ask this and they weren’t. He was the only black qb
I'm not sure I'd say that was the primary reason personally. Deshaun Watson, Patrick Mahomes, Jameis Winston, and Cam Newton (positive I'm forgetting others) weren't asked the same question as Lamar during college or the draft.
The best comp I could find to Lamar being asked to play wide receiver was Eric Crouch, but he was nowhere near the QB Lamar is.
The focus of my video is to draw attention to Lamar overcoming all the repeated attempts and handle himself so well. Thanks for watching and the feedback. Looking forward to watching Lamar play well this year.
@@theunlikelysuccess yeah but they were coming out with 4 white options viewed as equal or better. If Lamar was the 1 or 2 guy than of course. But teams will always go with the white qb if there is even a small choice. Hell why did trisbsky go over watson
@@Ravensnation94 no defense for tribisky at all from me. The puzzling part of Lamar is that college recruiters asked him to play receiver also. I couldn't source why, and am going to do a video on Mike Vick in the future to research if he was asked somethine similar.

Poor Lamar Jackson. The only person people have doubted, and the only Qb that has been ask, or thought to ask to change positions. LoL. People like this state things they don't know. 😂
Only QBs who were garbage at QB are asked that usually. Not QBs who have played at the absolute highest level in college
@@zayshairjourney5499 LoL 😂. 👌 ok.
The most direct comps for a Heisman winner asked to change positions would be Eric Crouch (primarily a runner at Nebraska), and Tim Tebow (played years in NFL at QB before being asked about TE). Other comps would have seen lesser success at the college level.
Appreciate you watching and commenting on the video. Are there other Heisman-winning QB's I missed who were asked to change positions?
The focus of the video was to highlight Lamar overcoming doubts and not to suggest he was the only doubted player. I plan on continuing to cover different players who had to overcome obstacles, not just Lamar and not just QB's.
@@theunlikelysuccess You just named some....yet I didn't hear people crying about them.....wonder why🤷♂️. How about Qbs that weren't even drafted that had great college careers.

Definitely not intended.
The aim was to showcase how Lamar rose above doubt. I have covered various athletes since starting the channel and focused on what I think were moments they succeeded against the odds. The idea is to identify how we can all overcome, and I have responded to comments trying to bring back the focus.
Thanks for the feedback.
Rise to what? We saw this same story with Vick. Gawdy play making, highlights, win nothing and WR's tell the team IN ADVANCE "do NOT draft me" because they know that playing with Lamar the "QB" is career suicide. We've seen this Lamar thing before and it always plays out the same way, his window is already closing, his character is suspect and he's already created more drama than success, completely TYPICAL.
"character" - I don't think that word means what you think it means.
Lots qbs don’t win anything like Andrew Luck, Dan Marino ,Jim Kelly so what’s the difference 🤔🤔🤔 hmmmmmm what could it be
@@deesee2051
Dan Marino won an AFC title, Jim Kelly won 4 and Luck went to a dumpster fire of a team and was sacked more than any other QB in history, Stafford would have died that death in Detroit if he hadn't gone to the Rams to get a title.
Kelly was one on the most efficient QB's to ever play, Marino used to hold every PASSING record.
Sometimes 'where' you go matters but Baltimore isn't that case. It's a top tier organization, managed and coached very well. They got clowned paying Lamar all that money.
When it's all over, the 'wheel of excuses' will be spun, I've seen this story already.
@@TheCountofToulouse What’s the excuse for Just Herbert losing a 27-0 last season? When is he gonna win a playoff gm by Lamar’s 4 yr he’d already won a playoff game and mvp what’s Herbert excuse he’s had a HOF WR since he’s been in the nfl
@@deesee2051
Terry Bradshaw was considered a bust, he went on to win 4 titles. I'm not making excuses for QB's, this video was about tugging Lamar's junk, I'm not a believer.
The year Lamar won the MVP, he was 22nd in passing and he only had 401 attempts. Pathetic. I'm calling his MVP a pile of 'diversity higher' garbage. He's a RB that can sort of make passes my daughter could complete.
I stand by my statement, his legs will be gone, he'll get sacked more, he'll get injured and he wont be enough of a QB to have any sort of career.
Warren Moon didn't win anything either but HE was worth the money and threw the best spiral I've ever seen, he was a QB.
The shelf life on these RB 'qb's' is LOW and the end comes quick.
Lamar has missed a start or more in every season SMH
Unfair statement since he didn't miss any games in 2018, he simply was a backup to Flacco to start. The only game he missed in 2019 was the week 17 game the coach sat him because Baltimore already had the #1 seed locked up. Then in 2020, the only game he missed was a game many on the team missed due to the former strength and conditioning coach giving half of the team covid.
Lamar has played 5 seasons and only missed starts due to injury in 2 seasons. The games in those two seasons were critical and important, so I'm not here to act like hey weren't. Trying to paint it, as you did, is intentional misinformation
@@JB-gc9jg Feel free to list all the excuses why he missed a start or more in 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022. But it doesn't change the FACT that Lamar has missed a start or more in every season SMH

If lamar was a white quarterback he would have won the Heisman twice and drafted number one in the first round. Tell me I'm lying
He'll never be a Manning or Brady. To expect that is foolish.
Fair, those are big shoes to fill. Lamar is still young and will carve out his own place in history.
Who will be?
There are more black quarterbacks comming they're going to take Over as quarterbacks and they're gonna be more talented than their counterparts. God is getting tired of this mess in America With this discrimination Reddit.
They were hatin on Lamar and he exposed them all😂
This is y you don’t listen to haters and people who don’t know what they are talking about 😂
The real reason is they knew that he would revolutionary QB so they tried to take his confidence and break his will to be a great success.
I can’t say exactly why they asked at each level. I think that because he is such an outstanding athlete they thought you could take advantage of him elsewhere. In the early 2000s they asked Eric Crouch to play WR after he won a Heisman, but he wasn’t the QB Lamar was in college.
Stop crying got dammit. The dude has 2mvp, had 2 seasons where he had the best team, a top 5defense every yr with a top 10 offense and is 2-4 in the playoff. to much is given MUCH IS EXPECTED. They did the same thing to Jordan till he won so enough with the bs
@tom97009 Not crying, just pointing out that it was odd. He definitely has to prove it in the playoffs. I think Lamar would acknowledge he hasn't played well enough to win.
I thought I was about to respond to a YT guy … but the fact u have melanin saying this … on code don’t mean anything no more .. most millennials and gen z are 🦝🦝🦝 who will sell out for exotic 🐱
How could anyone expect him to be a NFL receiver if he never played the position over all the other receivers that play the game ?
What skills did he display that showed he would be a good NFL receiver? When did he ever play the position? So why even bring it up? Because y’all were hating on him but God had his back 😂
He was always very successful until he went to pro . This shows a lot of high paid reporters don’t know what is obvious and their ego makes them look stupid when they don’t admit how wrong they were.
Bill Polian came out a few years later and admitted how wrong he was. Unsure if Mel Kiper or Colin Cowherd admitted how wrong they were on it though.
