Ravens fans call out TV host for comparing Lamar Jackson to James Harden

With Lamar Jackson leading the Baltimore Ravens after the firing of head coach John Harbaugh, the new era under Jesse Minter is starting this offseason. As Jackson looks to lead the Ravens to the promised land, this sports analyst has a take on Jackson and makes a comparison that led to many fans calling out this show host.

Jason McIntyre would speak on “The Herd” on Fox Sports, where he called out Jackson and how, while he’s great in the regular season, he’s a “vanishing act” in the postseason, making the comparison to Cleveland Cavaliers star James Harden.

“I’ll say the comp for Lamar is James Harden, awesome, regular-season player, dynamic, unstoppable. What have you done for me lately in the playoffs? James Harden, a vanishing act every year,” McIntyre said.

Let’s just say fans of Baltimore and Jackson weren’t pleased, as many commented under the post of the video, including people calling out McIntyre for saying that the quarterback escapes criticism.

“You’re in sports media, but say Lamar escapes criticism?? So you just not pay attention to anything at all?” @lockedinJ wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

More fan reactions come to the defense of Ravens star Lamar Jackson

More fans would come to the defense of the Ravens star in Jackson, with another user writing that McIntyre’s comments are “one of the stupidest takes ever.”

“That’s an insult to Lamar! Harden has only one tool, and when that 3 isn’t falling, he’s cooked! You’ve got to go! FS1 needs constant handing this show over to Rachel when Colin is out. What a joke!” @GetoffmylawnHB wrote.

Another user would mention how McIntyre is “doubling down on foolishness” with his take on Jackson.

“Find another topic, and Lamar gets more blame and less credit than any star QB right now. You want to make yourself look good? Prove that Lamar doesn’t get blame. Get the data backing what you said. You can’t, just get a red nose,” @vondel21 wrote.

There’s no denying that Jackson and Baltimore look to prove McIntyre wrong in 2026 as the team starts the Minter era of the franchise.
