Lamar Jackson is in his second NFL season and he only has started 10 regular season games. Just like it was unfair to ask him to be a finished product as a rookie taking over for Joe Flacco, it’s unfair to ask him to be perfect in year two. Jackson has shown incredible progress this year but consistency is still something he has to work on.
The Chiefs game was a prime example that his improvement as a passer is a process. Jackson’s biggest hurdle to get over is getting his timing down. A handful of times against the Chiefs, he overthrew his target.
