Lamar Jackson’s remarkable performance in the Baltimore Ravens’ decisive victory over the Houston Texans has been the talk of the NFL world. His achievement was unprecedented: two passing touchdowns, two rushing touchdowns, over 100 rushing yards, and a passer rating surpassing 100.

This extraordinary feat was first brought to light on Twitter by Ryan Mink, the editorial director of Ravens, who highlighted Jackson’s historic accomplishment. Mink’s tweet read: “Lamar Jackson is the first player in NFL HISTORY (regular season or postseason) to have in one game: 2 passing touchdowns, 2 rushing touchdowns, 100 rushing yards, 100 passer rating.”

This remarkable statistic swiftly caught the attention of Stephen Espinoza, Showtime’s head honcho. With a hint of irony, he commented on Jackson’s versatile skills, tweeting: “If only he were more quarterbacky.” This sarcastic remark playfully poked at the traditional quarterback image, contrasting sharply with Jackson’s dynamic play style.

Not long ago, Lamar Jackson was called “not quarterbacky enough” by Fox Sports Radio co-host Monse Bolaños. She made this statement in a segment discussing MVP candidates, where she argued that Jackson couldn’t possibly be the league’s best player because he wasn’t “quarterbacky” enough. However, many have criticized Bolaños for her comments, which they believe are rooted in racist tropes about Black quarterbacks and their ability to set up winning attacks.

Thus, the response from Espinoza came as a humorous taunt at Bolaños. As a result of this, Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions, couldn’t help but react to Espinoza’s witty observation. His response was simple yet revealing, as he tweeted: “Boss man.” This laughter-filled reaction showed a mix of amusement and acknowledgment of the unorthodox nature of Jackson’s performance.

Lamar Jackson’s extraordinary performance and the subsequent social media reactions encapsulate more than just a game’s outcome. They symbolize a shift in the perception of the quarterback’s role in the NFL. While Jackson’s athletic prowess rewrote records, the playful banter between Espinoza and Ellerbe on Twitter highlights the evolving narrative surrounding quarterbacks.
