Lamar Jackson Earns Top 25 Spot in All-Time QB Ranking

The Baltimore Ravens have one of the best quarterbacks of this generation in Lamar Jackson. But it is about time for him to be listed among some of the better field generals to ever play the game.

In a recent article by SB Nation, they put together a survey with 13 NFL analysts asking them who the 30 best quarterbacks of all time are. And at No. 23, they have the star QB of the reigning AFC North champions.

"For years, the NFL was waiting for a player like Lamar Jackson to come along - a true dual-threat quarterback that could dominate both on the ground and through the air," Sam Monson of The 33rd Team wrote. "Players like Michael Vick hinted at what was possible, and Cam Newton was able to put together one elite MVP season, but Lamar Jackson is the first player to sustain it... Special athletes have played the quarterback position before, but none have been as effective and efficient at passing the football as Jackson."

Before Jackson entered the league, Michael Vick was known as the king of scrambling quarterbacks, as he held just about every record.

But all of that has since changed.

Jackson recently passed Vick in rushing yards, and he did that while playing around 60 fewer games. The Ravens QB also holds the most rushing yards in a season by a QB with 1,206, which he did in his first MVP season in 2019. 

But he has proven time and time again that he is also an excellent passer, as he had 4,172 yards and 41 touchdowns through the air this past season. And he did all of that while throwing just four interceptions.

The one thing holding Jackson back a bit at the moment is the fact that he has not won a Super Bowl. But he and the rest of the Ravens will be looking to change that in 2025.
