Colin Cowherd says he'd take Bo Nix over Lamar Jackson in a clutch fourth-quarter comeback, dropping the two-time MVP from his top-10 list.

He lists off Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, and more.
"I no longer trust Lamar Jackson in a big spot. I'm selling my stock... I'd take Bo Nix today in a fourth-quarter, come-from-behind situation over Lamar," Cowherd said Tuesday. Drake Maye Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson reacts as he runs off the field after an NFL game against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif.
, on Nov. 25, 2024. On the surface, leaving Jackson outside the top 10 sounds like a form of rage-bait.than football analysis, Jackson has been one of the league's premier quarterbacks over the past seven seasons. He won two league MVP awards during that span. Given his previous regular-season dominance, Jackson's MVP odds this year are rightfully higher than most of the quarterbacks Cowherd ranked ahead of him.
That said, there is a valid counterargument. Though Jackson's ceiling remains among the highest in football, his floor may no longer be. In 13 starts, Jackson averaged just 196.1 passing yards per game, fewer than Michael Penix Jr. and Geno Smith. Projected over 17 games, his 21 touchdown passes would have been roughly league average.
He also wasn't the same rushing threat, finishing with just 349 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens runs for a touchdown during the third quarter against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. Perhaps injuries played a role. Maybe he was never fully healthy.
If so, he could certainly return to MVP form this season.went from one of the NFL's elite quarterbacks to an average starter in one offseason. Cam Newton experienced a similarly steep drop-off. Quarterbacks who rely heavily on athleticism often age less gracefully than those who primarily win from the pocket. Jackson is an accurate passer, but his unparalleled running ability has always been central to what makes him special.
As Cowherd noted, Jackson has consistently fallen short in the biggest moments. Despite his regular-season success, his postseason résumé is underwhelming. He is 3-5 in the playoffs with a 60.6% completion rate, a 10-to-7 touchdown-to-interception ratio, and an 84.6 passer rating. Those numbers lend support to Cowherd's claim that he would trust Bo Nix over Jackson in a fourth-quarter comeback situation.
In one playoff game last season against the Bills, Nix showed more big-game clutch ability than Jackson ever has. If that's one's primary standard for evaluating quarterbacks — how they perform in the biggest moments — then leaving Jackson outside the top 10 becomes a defensible position. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson leaves the field after a win over the Cincinnati Bengals in an NFL football game. The game took place in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Dec. 14, 2025.
It's also reasonable to identify 10 quarterbacks entering the 2026 season with fewer unanswered questions. We don't know whether Jackson is fully healthy, whether his athleticism has begun to decline, how he will adapt under a new coaching staff, or how committed he is to football long term. Nearly every offseason brings reports questioning his dedication to the game or his happiness in Baltimore. Those concerns don't exist to the same degree for many of the league's other top quarterbacks.
Mahomes, Allen, Stafford, Burrow, Maye andall enter the season as safer projections than Jackson. The debate is how he compares to quarterbacks such as Jordan Love, Jared Goff, Jayden Daniels and Sam Darnold. Put simply, it's fair to ask whether Lamar Jackson is still a top-10 quarterback. And until he delivers in the biggest moments, such questions will remain valid.
