If Lamar Jackson retired today, he would be a HOF right?

[Street Knowledge]

3 time first team all pro
2 time league MVP
Led the nfl in passing touchdowns in 2019
Led the nfl Passer rating in 2024
6th highest winning percentage in history
All time leader in rushing yards by a QB

There are QBs in the HOF right now who have worse resumes than Lamar does at 28 years old.

No.
Too short a prime
If Plunkett isn't in, no way in hell should Lamar be in.

But plunkett wasn’t a good QB even in his era

Middle of the road QB who was clutch in the playoffs.
You could say he was a proto-Eli Manning.
Its a shame Eli gets in but they keep Plunkett out.

Should be a 3x mvp

He would get in. Retired today they might not let him be first ballot but he would get in.

 

[Supa]

Every player with 2 MVP's is in the HOF.

Lamar has 2 MVP's.

Spoiler

He should have 3

Absolutely.
