Maybe. But HOF voters love those rings. There's also the 5 year rule: if a QB and head coach don't win a SB w/in the first 5 years of their tenure together, they don't win a SB.

Well, Lamar and Harbaugh have been together now for 5 years and haven't won a SB. Will they be the ones to break the rule? If not, who do you get rid of?
Lamar's performance so far demonstrates that he can win in the regular season provided Baltimore gets ahead first. But Lamar's performance in the playoffs has been poor, to say the least. And if they get behind by any substantial amount of points, Lamar doesn't have the skills as a passer to bring Baltimore back. I think this game showed Lamar doesn't have the mental toughness to get them back.
Contrast that to Mahomes. KC gets behind by 10+ points and Mahomes says, "So what? We can come back and win it." And they do. That is one reason Baltimore lost this game. They got down by a touchdown and you could just see Lamar start to worry. You could see him feeling like the game was slipping out of reach even though they were down by at first 7 and then 10 points.
