Cam Newton’s Lamar Jackson praise will certainly raise Josh Allen’s eyebrows.
While Allen is the MVP frontrunner thanks to the Bills winning ways, Jackson has actually put up better numbers this year for the Ravens. Newton passionately claimed Jackson was better than Allen, saying that Buffalo’s superstar passer does not get held to the same standard as Jackson does, which skews the discussion.
“He’s just the greatest quarterback in the league,” Newton said on “First Take” in a fiery tirade towards Stephen A. Smith. “Right now, I’m taking Lamar Jackson over any other quarterback in the NFL…You ain’t holding Josh Allen to the same standards.”

Whether it be Buffalo’s winning ways, or the fact that Jackson just won the MVP award last year, the case for him to repeat isn’t that strong. Newton disagrees with that, and while it may be an unpopular take, the numbers back him up. At the end of the day, the guy who has the most postseason success will likely be considered the better quarterback, so while debating the MVP race is fun, both Jackson and Allen are likely focused solely on doing whatever they can to make a Super Bowl run this season.
