Ravens Fan Recounts Friend’s $1,000 Bet That Lamar Jackson Will Never Win a Super Bowl Amid Top 10 QBs Debate

Lamar Jackson is one of the NFLs brightest stars.

Hes a three-time first-team All-Pro and two-time MVP.

Hes the leagues all-time leader in rushing yards by a quarterback.

And entering the 2025 campaign, hes only 28 years old.

He still has plenty of time to add numerous other accolades to his resume.Its possible that if Jackson retired today, hed make the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

His fans arent content with things as they currently stand, though.

As badly as Jackson wants to taste Super Bowl glory, they want him to rank among the best quarterbacks in NFL history.

And theyre risking a lot of money in the process.John Middlekauff, host of the 3 & Out podcast, answered questions during his mailbag segment on Thursday.

One of his listeners revealed he made a hefty wager on Jackson becoming a champion one day, and asked Middlekauff where he thinks Jackson could rank all-time amongst quarterbacks.Do you think Lamar Jackson can be considered a top 10 quarterback of all time if he wins at least one Super Bowl and one more MVP? Hes the best rushing quarterback ever...

one of my friends bet me $1,000 that Lamar will never win a Super Bowl.Middlekauff didnt specifically discuss his personal top 10 quarterbacks, but did offer his opinion on how Jackson could earn such status.

The key, in his mind, is postseason advancement.He plays for one of the best organizations in the league, so his teams always going to be good...

theyre on the short list [saying], the Ravens can win the Super Bowl.

But...

hes now had back-to-back years [with] an atrocious interception in the playoffs.

Its no secret that Jackson, so far in his career, has not shown up when things matter most.

His regular season winning percentage (.745) almost doubles his playoff mark (.375).

His regular season TD:INT ratio (166:49 equals 3.38:1) nearly triples his postseason one (10:7 equals 1.43:1).Only one of FOX Sports top 10 quarterbacks (No.

10 Dan Marino) doesnt have a Super Bowl ring.

Jacksons dual-threat abilities could allow him to join that list without one.

However, his case obviously gets much stronger if he gets over that humpMiddlekauff believes Jackson can hoist the Lombardi Trophy one day.

He admitted thats not something he would have stated three or four years ago.

Until Jackson shows he can protect the football, though, Middlekauff doesnt think hell actually do so.One of the things with playoff football [is] we dont need the sexy stuff all the time...

[its] more about like playing smart, not turning the ball over and getting first downs...

thats what they got to do.

Play smart football, no turnovers.Nobody will deny that Baltimores incredibly talented and deep roster is capable of winning the Super Bowl.

Once they learn how to stop shooting themselves in the foot, they just may be the last team standing.Their 2025 run starts where their 2024 journey ended: in Buffalo against the Bills.

The Week 1 Sunday Night Football contest will kick off at 8:20 p.m.

E.T.
