Like the Cowboys this is just such a tough situation to be in, they don't give out rings for regular season accomplishments.

Until Lamar can get the Ravens to a SB then I just can't put him in that class of being an elite QB. I don't care about NFL MVP's, it means nothing at this point. You can pile up all the individual awards but if your team can't get to a SB then you're just another great player that couldn't get his team over the hump. You have to put the team on your back and get past KC. You can't play like you did in the Championship game at home and be considered an elite QB. That's just how I see it.
I agree, Dak is kinda in the same boat. He just doesn't play his best ball when it matters most. Go ahead and pile up stats all you want. No one in Dallas cares. You gotta beat SF, you gotta beat Green Bay at home. Now this year Dallas has no running game so more pressure will be on Dak. He will fold like he always does.
