Not, not a runaway, but that was JustWinBaby's argument, not mine. i have simply pointed out that Jackson had a much better team around him than Wilson. I am not sure that is even debatable, but it's the Shark Pool where everything is up for debate.He elevated the offense as a whole. Loaded lmao come on man. Stanley, Yanda, and Zeus anchored an excellent offensive line. The rest of the skill position players are below average as a whole. Andrews is probably the only one considered in the top 10 at his position. Maybe you can make a case for Ingram but I suspect you’ll struggle to list him as a top 10 rb on talent. You start at him being 3rd or 4th in his own division.
The point is getting lost here. I jumped in to counter the guy who claimed Russ wins MVP in a runaway if we’re only looking at passing stats. I contend that the guy who led the league in passing tds (in roughly 14 games) and passer rating and quarterbacked his team to the best record in the league would be in the conversation for MVP. Sure we could argue supporting cast, strength of schedule, etc but there would be an argument which is the point. Not a runaway. Do you disagree with that?

With all due respect, to say I am making no sense and then saying Wilson was awful during the back half of the season was awful seems a "pot calling the kettle black" situation, unless you think a QB going 5-3 over an 8-game stretch with 14 touchdowns and 4 interceptions is awful. Also, the Ravens were a .500 team (10-10) in the 20 games prior to Jackson starting, FYI, so it is not unfair to say that the Ravens would have still been a .500 team in 2019 without him, especially given the division in which they played (Bengals awful, Browns being the Browns again, Steelers missing Ben for most of the season).You point out he had talent all around him and proceed to give us a who's who of garbage talent that won't be in the league in 2-3 years that he didn't elevate. You're making no sense whatsoever. Claiming the Ravens would still be a .500 team without Lamar (which they weren't in the previous 20 something games before he took over) when they had a 14-2 record is also a mind boggling argument to make. So he is 6 games above replacement level? That is what makes you the MVP.
And save me the Russell Wilson worship. He was awful during the back half of the season and single-handedly cost them a couple games.
