As training camps approach, Lamar Jackson finds himself with a new source of motivation after a rival's assistant coach commented on Joe Burrow being the best quarterback not named Patrick Mahomes. This claim, made by Kansas City Chiefs' defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, has stirred debate among fans and analysts alike. While Burrow led the league in touchdown passes last season, Jackson was a close second and surpassed him in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns.

Despite recent accolades for the Ravens' secondary from Pro Football Focus, the offensive line was rated just 17th in the league, sparking controversy. Jackson's performance, including a leading passer rating of 119 last season, showcases his dual-threat capability, proving he deserves respect among the elite quarterbacks.
