Lamar Jackson hasn’t been seen in the OTAs so far. However, that doesn’t mean the Ravens quarterback isn’t working on his skills. Recently in a video, Lamar was seen throwing the ball for 50-yards while on one knee. The throw was quite sensational, and Jackson showed his doubters that he is improving his throwing game continuously.

Due to the sensational throw made by the Ravens quarterback, an old video resurfaced. The video was of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Back in 2016, during his days at Texas Tech, Mahomes made a 60-yard-throw while being on both the knees.

It would be fair to say Mahomes’ throw was relatively better than Lamar Jackson’s throw. It is no secret that the Chiefs starlet has one of the best arms in the league. As a result, Jackson’s 50-yard throw looked quite timid in front of the Mahomes Magic.

Both of them are quality quarterbacks, and their skillset is unmatched. Mahomes has a cannon of an arm, while Lamar Jackson is a dual-threat. The Ravens’ quarterback can open up the defenses anytime he wants with his special skill set of running the ball better than a running back.

Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson? Whose team will go further this season?

Last year was a year to forget for the Baltimore Ravens. Many of their key players got injured throughout the season, which ultimately cost them a playoff place. Lamar Jackson himself missed multiple games, and the Ravens didn’t have results go their way.

The Ravens will look to bounce back in the upcoming season. They have a good opportunity of winning their division. The Steelers will be having a new quarterback, while the situation in Cleveland is yet unknown. Only the Cincinnati Bengals, led by Joe Burrow, stand in their way to winning the AFC North.

On the other hand, Patrick Mahomes will face one of the toughest challenges of his career so far next season. The AFC West is stacked. All four teams in his division are capable of winning the Super Bowl. As a result, his biggest task will be to take the Kansas City Chiefs out of that division and reach the playoffs.
