Ravens fans will love Zay Flowers' Lamar Jackson quote

You will be hard-pressed to find a quarterback under more pressure in 2026 than Baltimore Ravens star Lamar Jackson.

Maybe Josh Allen, but that's it.

After yet another failed season that saw Jackson play through injury and fall short of his usual standards, with a new head coach in place, there is pressure on No. 8 to deliver for the franchise.

There can be no more missteps as big as last season, because one can only imagine the backlash that would follow if Lamar had another year like 2025.

But receiver Zay Flowers has full confidence that Lamar could be about to return to his MVP-level in 2026.

"He's ready. He's always ready, probably more so this year," Flowers said via The Athletic. "We want to finish. We want to get a ring."

Lamar bounce-back season on the cards?

Well, it has to be, doesn't it?

After a poor 2025 season, Jackson has to first get healthy and play most of, if not all of the regular season, something he's hardly done in his career.

So that's a start.

Plus, with Jesse Minter taking over the defense, the unit should be improved, which leaves Lamar and the offense, who have a new coordinator to pull their weight.

With no Tyler Linderbaum or Isaiah Likely, it will be a different-looking Ravens offense, but one that Lamar has to take to new heights if he is to finally cash in.

Either way, the 2026 season can't follow a similar path to last year, it just can't.
