Jackson and Pollard’s Twitter scuffle in Kevin Durant style

Is Lamar Jackson a quarterback in the top 10? Because there were just too many punches and counterpunches fired, we won’t even attempt to sort through them. Pollard questioned Jackson’s passing ability, and Jackson questioned Pollard’s playing ability, and it just kept going. Lamar comes out as being a touch overly sensitive to Pollard’s comments.

If Pollard wasn’t as effective as Jackson appears to think, he was as a defensive back. In reality, it all began on Tuesday when Ryan Clark, a current ESPN commentator and a former NFL safety, claimed that Jackson ought to be on the list of the top 10 quarterbacks, as determined by an ESPN poll of anonymous executives. Regarding Jackson, Pollard stated the following. Jackson didn’t say anything in reaction to that one.

The fact that receiver Hollywood Brown wanted to be traded out of Baltimore makes Pollard’s message even more difficult. Jackson, who, according to Brown, was aware of his dissatisfaction, reacted angrily and surprised when he learned on draught night that Brown had been moved to Arizona.
