Lamar Jackson is fast on his ft – each actually and figuratively.
The Ravens quarterback displayed his lightning-fast comeback abilities in a latest Twitter battle with former Baltimore security Bernard Pollard. The backwards and forwards trash-talk stemmed from social media feedback made by Pollard concerning the signal-caller’s expertise and influence on his former workforce in Baltimore.
Pollard first turned heads in a response to former NFL security and lively ESPN analyst Ryan Clark, who argued that Jackson needs to be included in ESPN’s record of top-10 quarterbacks. Whereas Pollard acknowledged the 25-year-old’s clear-cut expertise, he argued it doesn’t make him probably the greatest quarterbacks within the league.
“He’s def a High 10 expertise, however as for a High 10 QB I don’t see it,” Pollard wrote on Twitter. “I imagine he ought to receives a commission by the #Ravens and may get TOP greenback!”
Though this remark by Pollard didn’t seize Jackson’s consideration, the 37-year-old’s statements the next day definitely did. Taking to Twitter on Wednesday night time, Pollard claimed the league’s greatest large receivers should not keen to return to Baltimore with Jackson on the helm.
“No TOP Wr will ever come there whereas LJ is there,” Pollard mentioned. “Loads of WRs have been accessible to get within the low season whereas LJ has been beginning, however no one desires to go. They provide him the respect, however they don’t need to play with him. LJ is nice however he’s not capable of make the throws.”
Jackson couldn’t stay silent any longer, replying to the tweet by telling Pollard, “You sound dumb asf,” alongside two crying-laughing emojis. Pollard rapidly countered, responding, “We’ll wait and see if one indicators.”
What adopted subsequent was a flurry of verbal jabs from Jackson, during which he berated Pollard for his poor play and largely forgotten legacy.
“I needed to Google you lil bra,” Jackson tweeted in one in every of his seemingly unending digs at Pollard. “I by no means heard of you till I seen you retain dissing such as you was a HOFMER BUT YOU FARRRRRRRRRRR FROM IT.”
“Bra we virtually misplaced reason behind this mf,” Jackson continued, this time alongside a video of Tremendous Bowl XLVII, during which Pollard fails to make a touchdown-saving sort out. “I watched this once I was a child and was going for the ravens that play I needed to slap tf outta 31 and its you?”
Pollard then posted a video of himself making a giant hit whereas he was enjoying at Purdue in faculty. Jackson wasn’t having any of it.
“Bra bought a 6second faculty spotlight you mad fr I want I performed in opposition to you,” Jackson wrote. “I might’ve threw the ball to teach and ran straight at yo sorry ass BERNARD.”
Nonetheless, in true sportsmanship style, Jackson made certain to depart Pollard with a phrase of recommendation.
“Go watch NASCAR in all probability higher @ that fr,” Jackson mentioned. “Speak to me about the very best NASCARs out I’m all ears and eyes.”
Maybe Pollard chartered too far right into a sensitive topic. Jackson’s dependable large receiver, Marquise Brown, was traded to the Arizona Cardinals earlier this offseason, a transfer the quarterback was clearly shocked and annoyed by.
