28 Nov
Summary
- Kyle Hamilton defended Lamar Jackson after a poor performance against the Bengals.
- Fans drew comparisons between Jackson and James Harden, criticizing his consistency.
- Jackson admitted he needs to improve consistency, despite insisting he's healthy.
Baltimore Ravens' safety Kyle Hamilton publicly supported quarterback Lamar Jackson after the team's significant Thanksgiving night defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals. Jackson, who had recently recovered from a toe injury, delivered a performance that fell short of expectations against a struggling Bengals defense, marked by a 53.1% completion rate, no touchdowns, and three turnovers.
This outing fueled considerable fan backlash, with many dismissing Hamilton's comparison of Jackson to LeBron James and instead likening him to James Harden. Numerous social media comments highlighted Jackson's struggles over his last four games, noting a significant dip in his touchdown production and overall effectiveness. Concerns about consistency were amplified.
Despite the criticism and persistent questions about injuries, Jackson insisted that his health was not the primary issue. He acknowledged the need to be "more consistent" with his throws, stating, "I have to make those throws. I don't miss them in practice." Mark Andrews also voiced his support, affirming that the team still trusts Jackson as their quarterback.
