I'll just say if you feel strongly about an issue, right or wrong, own it and post it! If you want this board to be a place of discussion, that's fine! We're happy to discuss things. Just be open to discussion, and most everyone here would get along just fine. Not gonna bother rehashing the past because we've done that ad nauseam already and it needs no further attention given.

And I said I saw VERY LITTLE REASON FOR HOPE THIS SEASON <-- theres something I can apologise for being wrong about! If only you didn't take it out of context! I will apologise for calling people Nut Huggers, but again you're acting as if I have insulted people on multiple occasions which I haven't, and my analysis on Trevor Lawrence wasn't inaccurate in the slightest. He got better, he had the issues I pointed out and anybody denying that isn't watching him play. I'm not comparing Lawrence to Herndon, I'm pointing out that WE ALL POINT OUT BAD PLAYS FROM ALL PLAYERS ON THE TEAM AND IT'S ALL FINE AND DANDY, UNTIL SOMEBODY MENTIONS LAWRENCE THEN IT'S TREATED LIKE BLASPHEMY. I've read the rules, and 99% of your warnings against me are for post that break no such rule, you seem to be the only one butt hurt here because when you're proven wrong you just delete my posts or throw a warning at me. You're a clown. (12-20-2022, 10:42 PM)Corriewf Wrote:(12-20-2022, 10:01 PM)Cleatwood Wrote: Actually.

It's the "I'm sorry if anyone was offended by what I said" of apologies. Not actually apologizing for or taking ownership of bad takes, just trying to sweep that all under the rug.

But we're re-living all the same patterns here. (12-20-2022, 11:47 PM)OG-JAGFAN Wrote: Word of advice for you Chrisboy. Just do not care what they say about you.

If he put in his signature he was wrong, I mean what more do you want him to do? I read through all those post back then and stayed out of it because there was mudslinging on both sides. At a certain point anyone will become defensive if they feel constantly under attack. These were my takes: Trevor has accuracy inconsistency, tends to over throw WRs in a clean pocket (Is this true or false? Has he done that pretty consistently since hes been here?) Trevor makes head scratching throws when theres no reason to force the ball (Prime examples are the two goal line ints, neither on 3rd or 4th down just terrible decisions) Trevor tends to throw bullet passes to backs/wrs 2-3 yards away from him, which resulted in a lot of drops in college. (this was also evident early on) And there are a TON of examples of this last season, such as the double crosser in the endzone that had Marvin Jones and I believe Shenault running opposites in the endzone, one guy on the left was wide open no one near him, the other running to the right with a db on him (but open enough) he throws to the covered guy and the ball sailed over him and was uncatchable) I could go on and on with this one. Trevor needs to work on his touch passes, this was also an issue early on. A lot of this he's clearly improved on, but THEY WERE ISSUES HE DID HAVE EVEN MIDWAY THROUGH THIS SEASON. This is where all of this started, A few small statements before he was even on our team. The only other argument I made is that he was being heavily over hyped coming out of the draft, but I STILL SAID WE SHOULD TAKE HIM AT 1. I've never called him a bust, I never said he wouldn't be good. I simply pointed out some flaws. If theres anything I can apologise for is I guess reacting to poor plays during game day threads? You know the same thing EVERYONE ELSE DOES. I'm sorry, but i'm not sorry for that.

Back to footabll. maybe it should be stated better as "know which battles are worth fighting to the death over". You were just as dismissive of the good as Trevor's supporters were of the bad. The bad is showing up far less, which is what a lot of us believed with confidence would happen, and chose not to push the panic button prematurely. If you think the mods are dragging the board down with their behavior, be better than them and pull the board back up with meaningful discussion instead of the back and forth. While I am a delusional optimist (wink), I trust that you can bring that to these threads. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

CJB, you are fine. People act like we are some hyper consistent franchise that hasn't let down this fanbase and squandered talent regularly for the past 20 years. You were right to be skeptical, as were we all. Anyone who wasn't skeptical is an idiot. I am still slightly skeptical, I've seen what this franchise does to us. The only reason I can figure that people are attacking you like they are is that their day lives are a boring since retirement. They get an endorphin rush out of being right when they've been wrong for so long. Just keep on truckin' on, and lets get back to football. FYI, don't change your signature to say your sorry. That is absolutely stupid, and reminds everyone of the extreme guilt and shame mentality that society has grown accustom to. This isn't a Communist China struggle session.

You kept saying, paraphrasing of course, "He sucks..." "He's terrible..." and you left it there. And over and over. But you didn't put any context on it. Nothing about the situation he was in, or that he was a rookie, or anything. And now you say, "well he did suck, how was I wrong?" You're trying to weasel out of your take. And the more you fight about it, the worse it gets. Stop defending yourself. Show some humility. Just say, "I was wrong." And it will probably all go away. I'll just say I'm throwing recs around in here like I'm Oprah you get a rec, and you get a rec, you get a rec, and you too!!

I've been trying to move on from the subject but people keep blatantly lying to try and discredit me on something I didn't say. You know it's pretty bad that I have 5-6 guys who DM me on this board (users who made their accts in like 2006-2008 era) who have to quietly pm and agree with me because they don't want backlash. It's pretty sad the environment that these mods have made this place. We need more mods like MarleyJaguar who is a respectable guy, and less like the two clowns who power trip off some lame mod position of a barely active message board. But see it's things like this that irritate me. You can go back to any game day thread, any game he's played in and you will see me saying "Nice throw by Trevor" or "Great play by Trevor" the problem is, nobody wants to respond to those. They only respond when I say something about the bad plays. Again i'm not JaguarMVP I don't dissappear when he's playing well only to reemerge to smeer him when he plays bad. I CALL IT HOW I SEE IT.

You can see the game is now slowing down for him and he is striking with the poise and confidence that garnered his fame in college. Exactly thank you. 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.

The loss today hurts, but seeing the QB play solid football at least gives hope for the future. Props to Trevor on his big game He finally put together a full game without mistakes. Very motivating to see it. Also shout out to the defense man they were insane today looking like the '17 jags. Here's to hoping we can get a superstar or two in free agency and have another good draft and start winning around here.

But I have to say, from what i've seen of him (which has been probably 80-90% of his throws @ Clemson nothing has screamed "generational talent" if anything watching his college plays I feel more like I'm watching a less talented Justin Herbert. So I guess the real point of this thread is this, I want to ask our fans your real opinions of Trevor Lawrence. How much of his game tape have you watched, what do you really feel knowing this is going to potentially be our QB for the foreseable future. Please, try your best to give your most honest take on what you've seen and try to forget what the media has told you. The absolute worst thread I've made in regards to "trashing Trevor" was comparing his rookie numbers with Gabbert, which were basically indentical and wasn't even meant to be a shot at him. |
