Lamar Jackson's Entire Football Identify is Playoff Choker

Watch Jason McIntyre, guest-hosing for Colin Cowherd on FS1’s The Herd explain why the Super Bowl window for Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens could already be closed, as McIntyre says Lamar is the NFL’s version of James Harden and Joel Embiid as a regular season dominator who gags in the postseason. 

Check out the segment above as McIntyre calls out Lamar and his insufferable apologists who refuse to admit that Lamar’s identity is synonymous with playoff letdowns. 

Jason McIntyre: “Lamar Jackson has a big problem on his hands and he’s gotta face that. The newspapers used to be the gatekeepers of sports, but the internet and social media kind of changed that. The new model is ‘I can just control the narrative on social media’ or ‘I can go on my buddy’s podcast and have him toss me a bunch of softball questions’ and totally change the narrative. If you have another stinky playoff game as Lamar Jackson did back in January, you can just wash that away with ‘HERE I AM WORKING OUT! I LOST 15 POUNDS IN THE OFFSEASON!’... But we are eight months removed from Lamar Jackson totally pooping his pants on national television against the Chiefs in a massive letdown AGAIN. Lamar has the highest winning percentage of any quarterback in NFL history to never win a Super Bowl. He hasn’t even gotten to the Super Bowl yet.
Look at these numbers [2-4 in the playoffs, 57.4 comp %, 6/6 TD-INT, 75.7 passer]. He falls off a cliff in the playoffs. I get it, winning in the postseason is hard and it’s a tiny sample size. Peyton Manning started his career 2-4 in the playoffs. You can’t crush the guy, but when the two most exciting players in the NFL – Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson – why is one of them stacking Super Bowls and the other is stacking crappy performance in the playoffs when it matters most? Mahomes is 15-3 in the playoffs, Lamar is 2-4. People are just glossing over it because they’re not going to ask the tough question.  
Hey Lamar, you have three fumbles lost in the postseason. That’s as many touchdown rushes you have in the playoffs [3]. You wanna look at the interceptions? Six. Touchdowns passes? Six. It’s not great. It’s downright bad. We do this all the time with Lamar. We bend over backwards to defend him when the reality is he’s a lot closer to a guy like James Harden or Joel Embiid. Totally dominant regular season players and then when it's down to crunch time in the postseason when it matters most – what happens?? CRICKETS. Lamar has not been good in the playoffs. Why is Lamar so inept offensively in the postseason when it matters? The two wins that he had, he was favored in both games, so they should have won those. And in those four playoff losses, he has never completed more than 58% of his passes. Win some damn games that matter!  
Embiid, Harden, and Lamar are like every Netflix series I’ve seen. They start out amazing and then it kind of goes nowhere. If I had Lamar here on the couch – and he wouldn’t because he doesn’t take tough questions – I'd say ‘Lamar, man, I’m a huge fan but what’s going on in the playoffs??’ Why can you win from the pocket in the regular season but in the playoffs... Is it nerves?? Are the windows that much tighter? Are the gameplans that incredible from them and that poor from you guys??' There’s no more excuses. John Harbaugh is a great coach.
I don’t want to set any alarms for Ravens fans but I said last year that the Super Bowl window for the Bills was closed and done... Lamar Jackson turns 28 in January and I looked and saw they lost three offensive linemen. I know everyone is excited ‘OH, DERRICK HENRY!!’... We’ll see... Lost their defensive coordinator, lost two other defensive coaches, down four defensive starters... Folks, you gotta wonder – is the Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl window closing??”
