Stephen A. - " Lamar Jackson is a pivotal player for this team in the playoffs"
Also Stephen A. " You're wrong and here's why !"
he don't ever wanna give him props for an actual qb
Hahaha,so true.....
One day he is a Brady hater and the next day he defends him against that kellerman jackass.
They need to do a video of Stephen A. debating himself, cuz he continuously contradicts his own statements 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Stephen A changes his mind Like he changes his underwear
Barely? Lol
That’s what supposed to happen when evidence is brought forth.
Dafuq is he supposed to do, keep being wrong even after evidence is clear and he’s been proven wrong?! 😂
@@_troublesome_ He does this despite the facts though. I guarantee if Lamar has a bad game he will be saying otherwise
Anthony S yeah he does sometimes fight the facts I agree. But when he changes his mind after all these weeks of hating at least he is admitting how good he is now.
Look like Stephen A also change his barber
Nah don’t switch up now, keep that same energy y’all had in week 1! When y’all said Lamar couldn’t throw into an ocean. LJ 4 MVP💜🖤
Bro the ravens fans switched up they were calling for flacco in the playoff game
Fax bro Greg Romen is a genius!!
caleb anderson I was at that game and I didn’t hear that lol. Everyone always says that. There was booing after the 87th three and out at the beginning of the fourth quarter with yet three more runs up the middle.
I head muttering. Guy next to me was saying bring in Flacco. But I hear people saying there was a Flacco chant. If there was, it wasn’t something you could hear through the whole stadium or anything.
But ravens fans can be very fickle. Most of us aren’t and knew you couldn’t bring Flacco in there. Even if they did it wouldn’t have helped lol
Des Hanson did they actually say he couldn’t throw it into and ocean lol?
Joshua Hoffman not particularly them, but the media (ESPN) were saying he wasn’t capable of throwing in the NFL.
Nah Stephen A don’t try to get wit Big Truss now Bucko😴
Mahni Wave facts
BIG TRUSS!
Lol I'm saying...nah I'm just glad Ravens are getting this much attention this year and having a most likely MVP...we've had many amazing players great seasons and teams including 2 SB teams in our short team history but never seemed to get talked about as much as this season....this is a special team and expecting that 3rd Lombardi Trophy!
Word
SAS can't hop on the bandwagon because we only take big boys, no little boys
No one going to give Molly her props? She said and asked all the right questions in this segment. Good for her
She has her days much better at nfl than nba ironic since her husband is one of the more famous basketball players ever lol
@@postsniper-7532 She used to be an anchor on NFL Network, so she must watch more NFL. Give her props
It's not cool to like her apparently and you know everyone follows and jumps on bandwagon so it don't matter what she says people already have their minds made up....I think she's great
Baltimore Fan shut up simp
Stop simpin bruh.
Stephen A: “Lamar Jackson isn’t that special and isn’t the best QB in the league, he can’t throw”
Also Stephen A: “Lamar Jackson is the most pivotal QB in the playoffs”
Boi if you dont get somewhere with your bandwagon opinionated ahhh. Hop off big truss u didn’t wanna get on don’t hop on now
Mace Sports most pivotal to his team, baltimore isn’t anywhere close to what they are now without lamar, him being most pivotal to his team dont mean hes the best
@Pio Pius why not?
@Legend__ 21 i don't think its a problem. He's going in the right direction.
@Legend__ 21 it's just annoying that this convo always comes up. He doesn't have to fully make the transition to pocket passer. RG3 wasn't ready to be a pocket passer which is why he sucked after he got hurt. He needed time that he didn't have. The ravens know his speed will diminish as he gets older and I'm sure they have plans but it's not neccessary at this moment
Stevie A is a slick talking clown pay no attention to him. He was popping junk since LJ was in college.
Why does Marcus Peters get mentioned before Marlon Humphrey? Peters is a good corner but the media acts like he’s the best corner on the team
Because he leads the league in interceptions since hes been in the nfl
Marlon’s always been underrated but picks are more flashy and noticeable than locking someone down. Humphrey this season def a top 5 corner
@@TAXFREETV1993 Marlon humphries is the best defensive player on the ravens bruh and marcus plays like he did Sunday he might not have a job in Baltimore much longer.We have no room for "I" players on this team
xDREAMx987 marlon 2nd Pierce is the best defensive player on the team
Jordan Davis same reason everybody was sleeping on Gilmore last year till the sb he locks down but doesn’t get the pics n flashy plays
I’m so happy for Lamar‼️ Just think about the teams him and the Ravens have beaten over the past few weeks. Seahawks, Texans, 49ers, and Patriots.
And think of all the teams that passed on him on draft day 😌 I know he’s feeling vindicated
Ratoya Banks Hello Ratoya 👋
@Michael Wright that's such an idiotic comment I can tell you don't watch football. When Lamar is not the starting QB Ravens are a below average to average team. Ravens really haven't been relevant since they won the SB. Now they are relevant because of LJ. Obviously he's the true MVP of the league for 2019-20
@Michael Wright That is the stupidest comment of 2019
@Michael Wright Good point, but the reason people would lean towards Lamar being the MVP is because of the teams that the Ravens have beaten this season which include the Patriots.
Stephen "prisoner of the moment" A Smith
If that was the case he woulda been on Lamar train....he's just finally realized he was wrong but instead of admitting it he just casually jumped on the band wagon like no one would notice lol....Stephen A is that dude tho so it's all good
@@baltimorefan5642 Exactly. SAS is so confused. He was critcal of LJ against the Rams when he played in 6 drives, and scored a TD in all 6 drives
Every week we have to “pump the breaks” on Lamar and that he hasn’t proven anything yet. Now he wants to hop on the bandwagon because he looks stupid. Keep that same energy and stay consistent bruh.
Giants/Mets/Blazers you ain’t ever changed your mind on something?
But stephen a I thought he couldn’t throw 🤣🤣🤣
Analysts just lost ability to scout talent n progression, it's just bandwagon
@@watchvidz7162 They get really biased by whatever has happened most recently and don't consider the future progression enough.
@@navonmyhand7999 remember.... they hated jesus too. Not saying hes jesus but they gon hate the great 1s
@@navonmyhand7999 dont 4get when they start hating on u
He never said lamar Jackson couldnt throw. He said he cant throw as well as guys like Deshaun jackson and patrick mahomes. Which is true. But what lamar Jackson can also do with his legs makes him more valuable to his team and a harder player to deal with. And jackson is still a very good passer. Just not as good at PASSING SPECIFICALLY as some of the other top tier qbs.
Woah. A couple of days ago you were more impressed by the niners.
Right! This dude talks like they don't record every show! He contradicts his self so much, he is sad SMH
And i made a video on it lol 😂😂
Those two things are unrelated. Stopping LJack from burning them for over 30 points is highly impressive
@@TMCommentator i love that video!! saw it when you posted it!! lol thanks for making that video and showing everyone how much SAS contradicts himself.
@@johnnyalonso much love brother
Lamar is the most important player because he has full control over his offence and as the 49ers game has showed that Lamar is clutch in close game moments.
Mahomes is great too though so 🤷 I like both of them, they are two different Qb's.
12MAN NATION did you not see him be clutch on 3rd and 4th downs?
Not worried about Lamar. Niners showed everyone in the 2nd half how to stop him. Contain and don’t let the tight ends get loose. When it comes down to it, Lamar won’t be able to throw outside the numbers when they need a big play.
Handsome Thanos that argument is dead and the Niners took a L stop being salty
Ryan Williams we hear this every week and it’s not guaranteed the Niners or ravens will play each other also did they slow him down I doubt he would only throw for 100 yards in good weather conditions
@Ryan Williams Lamar is 10x the player he was last season... completely different then the guy he was against the chargers and still almost led the team back in that fourth quarter. Guess what, 49ers are best defense in the league and this was a young QB's first time playing in such harsh conditions. I don't see anyone stopping this Ravens offense. Lamars best weapons are his IQ and decision making.
Lamar can make it happen, both with his legs and his arm
Hoop Station they can’t run how lamar can 😂
Hoop Station your wrong and sean Owen's told you why
Sean Owens he cant come close to throwing like Mahomes
QuarterBacking 32 you sound like a twelve year old starting pop warner quarterback playing older but lighter.
QuarterBacking 32 8-4😂😂😂
Wow Stephen a smith had no faith for Lamar Jackson earlier this season 🙄🙄🙄🙄
2-3 weeks ago both Stephen A and Max were all in on Deshaun Watson over Jackson. Funny how they sneakily moved away from that narrative
Paul Revere I think they all expected Lamar to fall off at around midseason but dude gets better every game
Paul Revere in the long run im pretty sure we're still going with watson
This is what rg3 was supposed to be for us in Washington 🥺
Blame shanahan and snyder for ruining him
😢
The knee injuries negated everything. Even if they had sat him that game, he had the knee issue going back to high school, it wasn’t going to hold up for his career/play style either way
Bruh am still hurt, he is still a better QB than what we have now...
Difference is Baltimore has an elite organization and brilliant coaches...plus Lamar has that Kobe mentality and is durable...but no disrespect to RG3 he's awesome and accomplished great things and happy to have him as our back up
They all doubted Lamar now everybody jumping on the train 🤦🏾♂️
yessir only one that stated he was wrong was max
I remember ravens fans booed Lamar i felt so bad for the kid then i.m proud he is successful at this moment
Ikr
Lowkey, Molly is getting better she's been putting out some decent talking points lately.
Lol she probably has seen the thousands of comments everyone leaves about how trash she is haha
You do know she just repeats what the producer says in her ear right.. ?
Watch molly from 4:45-5:07 she zoned tf out😂😂
She's listening to the producers talking in her earpiece.
Notifications got cut off mid-send. Lol.
LAMAR MVP 🐐!!!
gottabump 2nd
gottabump he might be the best but he’s not the mvp
RMadrid57 how if Russell has more yards, touchdowns and less intersections than Lamar?
Angel Cruz lamar has more tds and russ have 1 less interception also lamar didn’t play 4 quarters due to blowouts and stats are still close lamar has more tds passing on a lot less drives
Uncle Shannon I agree with you but me personally I believe a mvp should be who is needed more on the team.
Jackson is young and still learning baltimoreans are proud to have him.... GO RAVENS
Ravens all day put sum respect on The Ravens name.
I remember watching the draft , seeing how much he wanted to be drafted. Watching every team in the league pass on him except one.
The last pick of the first round.
Max thinks Patrick Mahomes walks
On water..
patrick Joseph lol rite tbh I don’t think he’s as good as they think he is. No tyreek or Kelsey he’s jus above average
stackz dollaz best player in football
Every year around week 10 Lions fans need to adopt a football team that is fun to watch or wait until next season to watch more football. This year it's the Ravens.
Stephen “ when I look at it from that perspective” A. smith
Oh finally recognizing my QB.
Good job, Molly. Great in this one. Steered it nicely.
Lamar Jackson is better than Patrick Mahomes..I’m sorry this not last year anymore
Yea they hyping mahomes lol!
Who’s in the super bowl and who isn’t. Lamar or Mahomes?
Yeah ok. All Lamar does better than Mahomes is run the ball. He isn’t as good a passer or a playmaker
Stephen A showing love to Lamar? GLEEEE
Meh
Nice to Steven A not hating on Lamar for ONCE
molly i have a question for you max
max: patrick mahomes
Lol facts
Ya boy Steven over there looking up t shirts in the middle of show 😂 c mon Steven lol
I got to give it to Molly. This has been her best week of hosting by far, so far. Actually adding to the show. Bringing up good points. Keep it up
She's married
She's seeking their approval so bad. I think shes thirsty to get double teamed by Max and Steven A after the show
Ryan's Motorsports until she meets me
She’s right but she needs to stop pushing for approval and just add points once in a while. Let max and Stephen A clown it up by themselves 😂
@@geneleep6422 Her husband is a millionaire and former NBA star... not likely. No offense to you at all, but once you get that kind of lifestyle it's hard to backtrack.
I speak for Lamar the Ravens and the fans when I say, WE don’t need your approval Stephen A. Keep it moving!!!
Max @ Molly 5:19 lol
Wow how Stephen changes his mind every week
Lamar is literally a point guard at qb just like in college & i told everybody wait until he is surrounded with NFL type talent now he is front runner for MVP at 22
Steven A clean clean today!
Can hear it from anyone else on TV than this man
Llamar Jackson is the best controller of the clock there has ever been in the NFL. Llamar rushing for 100 yrds is more profound than him throwing for 100yds because 100yds rushing by a quarterback runs twice as much time off the clock as throwing for 100yds does...if you control the clock your odds of winning go up exponentially.
Exactly! Lamar Jackson is controlling most of the games like a great point guard does.
I think he means Most Valuable Player ever
Uhh Nathan Peterman is still in the league
SKST Games really😂😂?
Y’all must’ve forgot!
NP for MVP
If you thought Lamar was gonna go this crazy THIS season you either cappin or a Ravens fan
fk24gator im a ravens fan and trust me. Even if you are a ravens fan and you say you thought this would happen.....💯 🧢
This is beyond any of our wildest dreams
Finally he gives some props but he acts like he always believed this that’s what pisses me off lol he never admits he was wrong 😂
This years Superbowl should be called "Elite Champions of the World Bowl" its gonna be a good one!
There is only one elite Champion.....and after he wins it again this year,they should rename it:
The Brady Bowl!!
@@batmanforpresident9655 He needs some wideouts, he cant make players look good by himself anymore. Hes getting to old for that. Patriots should go get Dez and Antonio.
@@theophilusone7 I agree he could use a wideout...
However,the too old nonsense is ridiculous.....
People said the last year and look what happened!!!
Please compare his statistics this year to same time last year...
They are only SLIGHTLY off.....
He is FARRRRRRRR from being too old to play this game .
@@theophilusone7 and he most CERTAINLY still can make players look good
This a whole 360 from what he said last time😂😂
Stephen “of the worlds” a smith
LAMAR GREW UP WITH KODAK, Kodak chose the streets , LAMAR TOOK THE FIELD AND BECAME LEGENDARY....Free Kodak !
Kodak is still a multi platinum selling artist lol. Either way they're both successful. Kodak got caught with a firearm while entering Canada. He didn't sell drugs or something or shoot somebody. Nowadays every rapper should be strapped going to a show. He's not legally able to possess firearms, but had he left it and got sprayed up or something, then everybody would be like yo I would have had my strap regardless.
Jackson is the MVP. The Niners are loaded on that defense and did pretty well. And Jackson having a down game was 200 yards of total offense 2 td’s and a few key important plays in the clutch. That’s a bad game. This kid is very very good. I can see how they have embarrassed most teams they play.
Big facts. LJ QB opinion is different.
Molly had to wait forever to get that coaching comment out smh lol
Lamar is the most dangerous player in football if you didn't know already 🏈
When molly actually says something good
Our defense is better than KC’s.Outside of quarterback, if you put our offense and KC’s next to each other on paper, more people would choose the Chiefs. Lamar is the catalyst for the Ravens success.
A quaterback has more rushing yards than the rushing back. What a quarterback Lamar is. And I am a 49ers fan, but you have to give credit where it’s due
I'm convinced Max is Smoking K2
Lamar Jackson Deserves MVP This Season Facts
Seems that Molly's notifications have been slightly turned down/off. Makes her a much better moderator.
3:42 Actually I did.
Just excited we will have a Mahomes vs Jackson rivalry like Brady vs Manning.
FINALLY,You guys get it,GO RAVENS
Lamar Jackson knows how to move the boys! 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆❤️🇺🇸
Mad respect for Lamar but like you guys said that KC Offense is high powered man, grand slam waiting to happen🔥 you just gotta be scared to face that as a Defense. Got some good football teams 🙌🏼
Stephen A think peoples have forgot he wasn't a Lamar Jackson fan
I'm glad Stephen A is finally giving Lamar Jackson some credit, he can do better with this though.
For the NFL, Lamar Jackson aka "The Galloping Ghost with a Arm" -- a 2019-202? Death 🌟 Star [ TRUE SCOUT ]
Molly has been on a good wave lately
When you realize Duck Hodges in the picture
be so consistent that your haters become your friends
Max "Rapper Quote" Kellerman
I swear these two be switching sides and point of views mid debate😂😂
Put it like this.. If Andy Reid slowed down his offense.... they will control the time of possession... Kansas City leaves to much time on the clock.
For once in the AFC someone seems more important than Brady. I wonder how Skip would have felt about this debate.
It’s called “Death By A Thousand Cuts”
We have best QB, 2 top 10 runners, best te group, arguably best o line, best k & p, best 2ndary
Ill Xane definitely not best secondary, Your TEs are not the best, Eagles TEs are better. and your punter is completely average
I'm a giants fan to the grave and beyond but this guy Lamar Jackson is the best in the league it's not even close SHEESH 👀👀👀
Time... Can we acknowledge the fact that the Bills are in the Wild Card, and Colts are at the bottom of the hunt..
Andy Reid is a good season coach but always seems to mess it up a shortage of timeouts or whatever
Max probably told Stephen A to say Lamar Jackson.
look at all those Elite QBs, you got Brady, Lamar, Duck, Watson and Mahomes
who's last name is duck 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@bomatthews9352 nah its Devlin Hodges' nickname, the Steelers QB
@@attatara5364 oh ok gotcha
One name doesn't belong lol ducky hasn't proven much yet
@@dkazz6183 shhhhh
Lamar is like barry bonds😎✊
I could have swore you guys were doubting him last year!!!
It's all about Lamar Action Jackson & The RPO'S!
Patrick Mahomes is still the beat QB in football... this kid is so good the kid has 20 TDs 2 int with a 107 QBR and people are saying "Hes having a down year"
That's ridiculous!!!
Exactly bro
Having a good defense helps u score points Stephen A
Not hating what so ever. But i know vince young was doing close to the same thing
Lamar Jackson is one of the greatest players to hit the NFL in a long time. He is a complete QB -- smart, clever, heart of a lion and possesses superior athletic skills. Ravens could go all the way in 2019.
This is what we call a two headed man
Which means the Ravens vs Chiefs comes down to whether the Ravens defense can get enough stops vs Mahomes because unless they injur Lamar , he's going to eat up the clock like smashmouth football without the stigma of being hit a 3rd as often as a good Running back.
This dude ain’t loyal to none of his opinions😂 he once to believe that he is right all the time. He just waiting to see this kid mess up so he can attack his character and play lol wow bruh wow 😯
King Gun That’s the truth.📣
Did he call Mahomes an all time great? Dudes only in his second full season.
a broken clock is right twice a day.
Lamar Jackson wouldn't be 6-6 without that Elite offensive line and double tight end blocking.
And what is that based on?
He is a runner first QB who will be a back up in 2022.
Max you mean Patrick Mahomes is Barry Bonds not Babe Ruth
SAS done bout to curse the ravens lol
You can laugh at molly all you like but the babe knows her football and can hold herself in a football analysis among other football analysis
Kansas City has more talent on offense than Baltimore has and Kansas City has won a game without Mahomes. Lamar is the MVP!
Not gonna mention the defenses? We glossing over that?
I agree though
