The days of pundits and critics using Lamar Jackson as a talking point for his alleged inability to be an elite passer are over, and rightfully so. Entering Week 7 of the NFL season, Jackson has been one of the most efficient and accurate quarterbacks in the NFL.

ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky and Harry Douglas revealed their top QB-WR duos in the NFL on Thursday morning, and the Ravens made the list with Jackson and star second-year receiver Zay Flowers making the list.
