Completely agree.  Would not trade him for anyone at this point and I get that might sound crazy to some with Allen, Mahomes and Burrow out there.

He’s our guy and I’m so glad he’s here.

With that said, taking emotion out of it, I would 100% trade him for Mahomes.

Mahomes is an alien.

I agree, too, and part of the reason is just because I'm attached to him because he's a Jaguar.  But the other reason is, he's already really good and we don't know how good he's going to get.  We have no idea where the ceiling is.

Some people want to say "yeah he threw 12 tds 17 ints last year but I ALWAYS KNEW HE'D BE ELITE" yeah but you didn't because most of the time guys who struggle, continue to struggle. Lawrence got better, and that's awesome but let's not pretend he was a for sure thing

And you'd be wrong and that's your fault for stat watching. It always went beyond what the numbers said with Trevor last year and some of us could see that. I guess many couldn't.

Mahomes is the only QB I'd trade Lawrence for and even then, I'd have to think long and hard about it. Still wouldn't be an easy decision for me.

Same. It’s just Mahomes.

We all have an emotional attachment to Trevor. He’s our guy. 

From a pure football standpoint, there’s not a better player in the NFL than Mahomes.

I’m very glad we have Trevor though and look forward to winning the AFC South every year!

Meh, emotions have nothing to do with it.  Trev has the traits to be as good or better than any of them and he is already starting  to show the clutch like he had in college or even better as he is starting to mature at the NFL level. Josh Allen is the best QB in the league imo but I wouldn't do it
(12-21-2022, 05:49 PM)JagFanatic24 Wrote: [ -> ]He’s everything he should have been last year.

He showed us he was headed here last year but he was in a historically horrible situation as a rookie. 

He just needed time to get comfortable in a functional offense. 

It was that simple. And it has been that way for soooo many QBs during their first 2 or 3 years in the NFL. 
Which made it even easier to feel confident in him finding consistency in year 2. Especially when we learned of the Pederson hire.

Not crazy at all. He's doing it with a cast of receivers that were 2nd and 3rd string at best with their previous stops and an underachieving Engram.

Imagine what happens when he's given a Kelce, Hill, Diggs or Chase? He'll be a [BLEEP] monster. Same with more time in the pocket. His potential is off the charts now.

It's not emotional when you're talking about a QB as talented as any other QB in this league.  He's only 23 and he's already showing he's at his best when the pressure is on.  His ceiling is as high as Allen, Mahomes, and Burrow.  I didn't say I would take him over prime Brady, I said i wouldnt take any QB in the league right now over him, the sky is the limit.

The clutch trait is the best trait to have imo.

If you have been a fan long enough to have to defend Gabbert, Bortles, Foles, and Minshew, you eventually have no concept of what real QB talent even looks like anymore.  And then here comes the Prince that was Promised.  (Ignoring the Meyer Meltdown) We come into 2022 and he's looking good.  But woah, here comes the witching month of October and it results in ROCK BOTTOM for Trevor's career.
(emphasis added)

Per Bill Walsh, most NFL coaches don't know how to identify or develop QBs properly.  If that's true, then I am in good company when it comes to the QB position, even though it would insult those coaches to group me with them.

To that end, the highlighted statement above begs inquiry.

The 2000s have been dominated by two coaches:  Bill Belichick and Andy Reid.

Both are first ballot Hall of Fame coaches without question.

They have dominated the NFL during this time because thay have had QBs who, along with Belichick and Reid, are virtually guaranteed enshrinement into Canton once their football careers are over.

My question is these two Hall of Fame Caliber coaches had two of the all time great QBs under their control as rookies,  but neither Belichick nor Reid started Brady or Mahomes for most, if not all of their rookie seasons.

Why not?

Why would two coaches who are two of the best ever at their positions keep superior QB talents in the bench the first year in their QBs careers?

Did they have less of an interest in playing Hall of fame talent at the QB position?  Did they NOT want to maximize the winning ib 2000 and 2017, respectively?

Were they somehow punishing Brady and Mahomes?

Were they followiling some sort of externally imposed mandate regarding the playing of superior talent?

"Thrill me with your acumen."

Now before you or anyone else go there, I am the first to say I am nowhere NEAR the same galaxy as Belichick or Reid in terms of football knowledge and I make no assertion otherwise.

But I'm curious how defenses of young QBs in Leftwich, Gabbert and Bortles who wound up being not so successful negates the reality of the overwhelming majority of Hall of Fame QBs from the 1970s on the league has seen.

Trying to make any excuse in the world for him, even on interceptions where he threw it directly to a DB with no WR around somehow that was on the WR/Meyer... it got old

Secondly, "every single thread is taken over about how bad trevor is and to select a new QB" LOL WHO SAID ANY OF THAT. The literal only time I ever suggested drafting a new QB to replace Trevor was on a thread supposing we had the #1 pick again this season and Trevor somehow regressed from 12 td 17 ints to something worse. 

You wanna talk about not having a discussion? Let's talk. Every time I say anything positive about Lawrence I'm berated by childish moderators who "name call" as you say on a consistent and downright TROLLING basis. 

I did not spam anything, I barely mention Trevors flaws unless prompted by someone else. You know, like in his rookie year he'd have 5 terrible drives and then make one decent 20+ yard throw and everyone would @ me and tell me how dumb I am like he was playing lights out football. 

All of this nonsense was started by people who decided to attack my opinions when the guy WASNT EVEN GOING TO BE OUR QB, THESE OPINIONS WERE POSTED WHEN THE JETS HAD THE #1 PICK AT THAT TIME LOL. 


The simple truth is that people misjudge what i've said, and think I need to apologise for a take I never had. The first thread I made when Lawrence became our QB right after the draft was something to the effect of "Skeptical, but extremely excited" nothing bashing him, the most bashing I did of Trevor was during a game day thread when he played bad, but at the same time everytime he did something good I also called it the [BLEEP] out. You know how when Tre Herndon gives up a deep pass? and literally everyone on the board gets upset? Or how about when Travon Walker got that penalty on3rd and long a few weeks back and multiple people including moderators called him an idiot? yeah I do that too but I don't treat our QB like the refs do, no special treatment if you play like [BLEEP] I'ma say you played like [BLEEP] and if you play like a pro bowler, i'll praise you. God i'm so sick of this PC nonsense world we live in I mean we can't even say the other word for Butt on this website, what are we a bunch of 12 year olds? I think most of us are full grown adults why is this the only fan forum that is moderated as if it's a childrens playground.. and why are the mods allowed to bypass every rule but then throw out warnings for something as stupid as "nut hugger" 


Get a grip.

Imma break this down for you:

How are we misjudging " He Sucks" and "I see no reason for hope" ??
This are YOUR VERBATIM WORDS on Trevor Lawrence. You backpedaling coward. 

The apology that a dozen posters have repeatedly stated you should make wasn't for your ignorant QB analysis but for your repeated insults to the fanbase and message board. 

If you are trying to compare critique of an undrafted back up DB who wouldn't make the PS on 18 teams in this league to you pissing all over Trevor Lawrence, God help you son. You are dumber than I thought. And I thought you were really stupid. 

Please go read the [BLEEP] rules of this message board and quit acting like a butthurt little [BLEEP] because you don't  know and understand them.

Nah.

You were just to impatient to let a young QB acclimate to a real NFL offense. Others were not - because we've seen this before and we get it.

Cmon man. Stop making crap up to fit your narrow narrative. Many people including critics were questing Lawrence right after that Bronco game.  You keep trying to pound your chest to be proud that your right you are blinded to the facts.  Oh btw the stats also prove it.

After the Bronco game in week 8 Lawrence was looking very shaky.  Lets look at the actual facts.

After week 8 Lawrence:  10 TDs, 6 ints, while having games with completion percentages in the 40's and 50's multiple times. If you want to pretend he was always all that and there was no cause for concern the facts show otherwise.  He has turned it around but the first half of this season was lackluster by any measure.
Some people: “Rabble rabble rabble, he’s trash” ad nauseum

Same people: “you couldn’t have known, these victory laps are boring, can’t we move on?”

With all due respect, get the [BLEEP] outta here with that [BLEEP] and take your L. If you’re gonna throw a temper tantrum about something you’re wrong on, learn to accept and deal with the blowback that’s inevitably coming.

But, and sorry to bring up the past, I remember a number of people say that we were 8 weeks into a new coaching staff, a new O system, a new O playbook, give him time to learn it and for Doug and Trevor to get settled and used to working with each other. This was the problem, people gave him 1 or 2 games and were ready to write him off as he didn't put up insane numbers. This is basically his rookie season after the dumpster fire of last year.

He played great against the Chargers and Colts and the whole team had a bad run of form but the way they have turned it around is impressive and it's Lawrence leading this turnaround. He's been incredible and is playing aswell as any QB in the league. Is that good enough yet?

Thats my point. He was very bipolar.  He had 1 game in the 40's, and 2 games in the 50's.

You mean before the Broncos game.

After the Broncos game, he’s been pretty much lights out with his lowest % being 55, numerous in the 70s and one in the 80s. With 14 touchdowns and 1 interception.

So not sure what you’re talking about when you say after the Broncos game.
In todays NFL there’s Mahomes and then the next cut.

Allen
Burrows
Lawrence
Herbert. (I don’t think he’s here, but many do)

You can make a case for any order of the second tier, personally I’d take Trevor over anyone in the second cut. But that’s the top 5 guys to build your team around.

At this point of his career, I am thrilled beyond measure that Trevor Lawrence is in this grouping.
Here’s a cool article on Trevor.
