The Baltimore Ravens were close to the big prize last season. They were close to reaching the Super Bowl, and while the San Francisco 49ers were formidable, the Ravens had dominated them in the regular season.
Lamar Jackson fell short of expectations in the AFC championship game. It appeared he chose to stay in the pocket rather than utilize his scrambling instincts, resulting in a setback.
This fueled speculation about his playoff performance and the viability of winning with him as quarterback.
Looking to counteract this narrative, HC John Harbaugh expressed his belief in Jackson’s potential to become the greatest quarterback of all time.
While met with mixed reactions and some ridicule, former NBA star Paul Pierce endorsed Harbaugh’s statement in the latest edition of Undisputed.
According to Pierce, it’s all about the mental aspect of the game and the coach’s role in instilling confidence in his players.
Coaches are tasked with developing players, and Harbaugh’s commitment to Jackson aligns with this responsibility.
If coaches are not striving to bring out the best in their players, perhaps coaching isn’t the right career path for them.
