There are no two-ways in stating that Lamar Jackson shares a special bond with Tom Brady. With both spoken off Quarterbacks having their special set of talent, you simply cannot call the game until these two are on the field. Now in Week 8 of the 2022-23 season, these two gigantic footballing stars are set to lock horns.
The special connection was on show when Tom Brady posted about Lamar Jackson being the ‘next’ big thing in NFL, initially when he retired in February. Moreover, to add to the respect they share for each other, Jackson even went onto claim Brady as the ‘G.O.A.T’. This led to Skip Bayless thinking that Brady’s favors the mentioned player more than Patrick Mahomes to be his heir.
On the latest episode of Undisputed, Skip Bayless spoke about Lamar Jackson being the preferred heir. “Tom Brady is a much bigger fan of Lamar Jackson than Shannon Sharpe is, that’s the simple truth of what it is. You are oversold on Patrick Mahomes. That is why you’re offended that Tom Brady would bless Lamar and not even mention Mahomes.”
Is Lamar Jackson the true heir of Tom Brady?
Both Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahomes have shown why they are two of best Quarterbacks in modern-day NFL. With Brady obviously showing signs of clinching another Super Bowl when he unretired, Jackson and Mahomes have clearly been better than him. Just like Bayless, even Brady seems to have the edge over Jackson.
Apart from the similarities in Lamar Jackson and Tom Brady’s game – they have been able to answer their critics time and go. Perhaps this is just why both these players value other’s scoring and offense prowess even more. That being said, who among these two will have the upper hand on Thursday? Will it be Tom Brady, or will it be Lamar Jackson? Remains to be seen.
