It seems like Jackson’s brand of football upsets some because he’s not a statue in the pocket. He doesn’t operate in structure very often, and it doesn’t fit everyone’s traditional expectations for a quarterback. But what those folks are failing to realize is Jackson’s improvisation is his structure. No one floats around the field, ready to land a devastating haymaker at any moment, quite like Jackson, a smooth, slippery quarterback with incredible agility, speed and the ability to flick a football 40 yards downfield for a big gain. He’s been playing at an elite level in the last month and notched two signature wins in the last two weeks, vaulting him toward the top of the MVP conversation. After a few months of working out the kinks, Todd Monken’s offense is fully realized now, and there’s no telling how far the Ravens can go. And it’s all thanks to Jackson, the most frustrating player to attempt to stop, and the most thrilling quarterback in the NFL.
