A few years ago, many analysts doubted Lamar Jackson’s passing abilities. He was initially regarded as a better runner than a passer, which is why he was snubbed by many teams during the 2018 NFL Draft.

However, Lamar Jackson took those criticisms very seriously and improved his passing skills. This year, he has been one of the most accurate quarterbacks, and now he has a chance to be the most accurate one in NFL history.

Lamar Jackson’s passer rating this year has been 121.6. The all-time leader in one season is Aaron Rodgers, with 122.5 in 2011, and a big game against the Browns in Week 18 could help Jackson set a new record.

Aaron Rodgers currently holds the record of the best passer rating in one season

“If I’m in my childhood mindset [with] breaking a record, yes,” Jackson said. “But I’m trying to win games, so it really [doesn’t] matter. If it happens, it happens. If it [doesn’t, it] probably will happen sometime down the line.”

Can Lamar Jackson win the 2024 MVP award?

With the end of the 2024 regular season, the winners of the awards will be disclosed in a few weeks. Obviously, the most relevant one is the MVP, awarded to the best player throughout the entire campaign.
