What QB is under the most pressure this postseason and why?

[BucciMane]

As many have already stated, it's Lamar by a wide margin. I don't think any of the NFC QB's have a ton of pressure, but in the NFC I'd say Goff and Hurts if I had to pick.

However, for the entire playoffs, it's quite clearly Lamar for numerous reasons. He's a two time regular season MVP and possibly on his way to a third regular season MVP. The Ravens added Derrick Henry who almost rushed for 2,000 yards this season, but was a little overshadowed the past month or so by Saquon. Lamar has had some poor playoff performances in his career. Not all of it was his fault as I've said many times that the Ravens play-calling and coaching is beyond questionable and quite frankly, dismal at times.

This is a year where the Chiefs don't look like how they looked in previous years and then the Bills who don't have a ton of weapons on offense and the defense has been suspect. This is the year where Lamar really has a chance to get it done. Getting back to the playoffs is no easy task, and it's even tougher when the AFC has arguably the top five QB's in the NFL in Mahomes, Lamar, Allen, Burrow, and Herbert. This is the best chance he's had.

I don't think Josh Allen is under a ton of pressure, but I could see people placing him second, but it's a distant second. We can't re-write history, and if people are being objective, most people said the Bills would take a major step back this year, and they did not. He has less to work with then some of these other QB's, and he's not a two time MVP that added a first ballot HOF lock HB to his team.

It's Lamar, and it's not remotely debatable.

I choose Jared Goff

• Goff needs to make it to the Superbowl in order for that Rams-Lions deal to look good for both sides.
• The Lions have the Bye and on paper should make it to the Superbowl; in a sense, the door is wide open.
• Ben Johnson is leaving after this season

Though cases can be made for Lamar in terms of if he can have success, now that he has Henry... along with Josh Allen, and if he can beat Mahomes when it matters.

Goff was a throw in, throw away in that deal. Only pressure was on Stafford and, lucky as it was, he got it done. The Lions have more playoff wins with Goff than in the previous 60 years worth of QBs including Stafford. Beyond that they 15-2, best offense in the league and he is not even a serious MVP candidate. We not bout to disrespect and disregard this man left and right AND put all the pressure on him.









Doesn't matter because him and his squad gonna be in the SB anyway.

It's josh allen. He is going to be the league mvp not because he was the best player in football in the regular season but because of lamar voter fatigue and the media love and narrative. No excuses. He has the exact same number of conference finals appearances as lamar. It's time to win the big games. They already changed the playoff rules once because he couldn't beat mahomes in regular time

STOP THAT MAGA BS

Hurts is too low. He’s gonna hear it in Philly if he don’t play well. Fans are already uneasy with him right now.

I only put Hurts there because this is Detroit's best chance to win it all and as far as Wilson, it's really Tomlin. Whoever loses that game is gonna hear it all year long.

If your saying Lamar, while not mentioning Josh Allen.. then you’re part of the issue and fall into this bs media narrative

 

[Dem313wayz]

It's Lamar. It's how he has lost. Last year was a complete melt down and no show

 

[OscarAcosta]

If the Lions didn't have this kind of a year, I would 100% be Lamar, but with this special year and Goff being traded... and Stafford winning a Superbowl... this might be Goff's best chance to win a Superbowl with no Mahomes until the Superbowl itself.

There are no NFC teams that on-paper look like a major roadblock, they are the team to beat.

I hear ya. I'd also think that they'll be better off as players, coaching staff, and organisation, for the playoff experience of last year. Get to play in the dome all the way to the SB, too, presuming they make it. As you also say, can't really see them being handled by any of the other NFC teams.

For me, it's Lamar & Allen. Lamar will always be in the conversation until, hopefully, he makes it all the way. fukk, he has had some odd games in the postseason. I just hope that the pressure doesn't compound - he's a joy to watch when he's on his game.

One has two MVPs and people thinking they should win a third one, while the other one has none. It’s a difference.

Can’t keep using the whataboutism with Allen if you think Lamar is the better QB by far.

 

[jaydawg08]

1. Jackson
2. Allen
3. Wilson
4. Goff
5. Hurts
6. Darnold
7. Stroud
8. Love
9. Stafford
10. Herbert
11. Daniels
12. Mayfield
13. Nix
14. Mahomes

Couple things I got issues with your list (good job putting it together I’ll give you props)


Why is Stroud ahead of Love? Love has not played up to what his contract dictates this year, and frankly the Packers looked better with Malik Willis as the starter (doesnt mean Willis is a better QB)

Stafford, a SB winning QB ahead of Herbert is also crazy. What the hell has Herbert ever done to receive this level of pass. Hes constantly in that 2nd tier of QB and is treated with kid gloves

He is the quarterback. In the end if the Lions fail, it falls on him and Campbell.

Josh Allen is constantly talked about as a HOF level, best player in the NFL, and has the same level of success as Lamar in the postseason

Facts there is always an excuse for josh allen. According to the media its mahomes and allen that are the two top qbs ignoring the fact the josh allen has the same amount of afc championship game appearances as the "choker" lamar. They had to change the playoffs rules because the media got angry allen couldn't beat mahomes in regular time

I disagree with this. If Zay Flowers doesn’t fumble on the inch line that game looks different…. But that’s football

Both of those points are made up bullshyt and even you know that

 

[Black Hans]

Lamar. Could win his third MVP, has never been to the big game, and now has Derrick Henry, one of the GOAT RBs, in the backfield. He HAS to go to the SB THIS postseason.
