Football fans know all about the Lamar Jackson saga between him and the Baltimore Ravens.
People have seen Jackson’s lack of a contract extension by his team and formed their own options over the matter.
With the young quarterback suffering a PCL injury, his contract issues are coming into play with fans.
Some see him not playing this playoff game to hurt the Ravens.
But for others, they see him sitting out because his health is his currency for a new contract.
However, FOX NFL analysts Sean Payton and Michael Vick have their own take on the Jackson situation.
For Payton, he doesn’t see Jackson coming back to Baltimore while Vick believes the quarterback should “put a brace on it” and play.

The comments come after the young quarterback tweeted out an update on his injury.
While he reveals the injury is worse than first thought, it doesn’t stop Payton and Vick from piling on Jackson with negative comments.
Payton says there are teammates in Baltimore who feel “his process has been slower than expected.”
If what he says is true, then the young quarterback is losing his teammates over an injury he can’t control.
However, to see Vick going after Jackson is a shock, as he’s a former quarterback.
But to him, he thinks the star quarterback should be tougher.
Vick’s reasoning comes from him playing an entire season on a sprained MCL.
So in his eyes, if he can tough it out, then the star quarterback in Baltimore can do it for a playoff game.
