Being a 6th rounder, he needs his highs to be WAY higher and every low is magnified 100x. If he was a 1st round pick playing how he has, we wouldn't even be discussing Lawrence at all.

Boom. You nailed it.
Guy has two terrific games with a new offense and one "Meh" game and it's back to ground zero with him.

Kyler Murray wet the bed far worse today at home against the pathetic Lions and not a word will be mentioned about questioning his long term status as a franchise QB. 

Not. One. Word.

It's all draft bias/pedigree coming to the forefront. 

I'm beyond tired of the whole "Defenses have figured Minshew out" nonsense everytime he has a mediocre game. If running a soft zone and making him throw from the pocket was such a sure shutdown move, then Frank Reich and his staff must be complete morons since they saw him twice in a row and he torched them twice when there was such an obvious adjustment right there waiting to be utilized. 
The truth is that Minshew was under constant pressure and had a slim margin for error. If he would've had Fitzgerald's clean pocket Thursday night, he would've played like he did the first two weeks. It's not like he was making wild, yippy throws and bad decisions with the ball. 

If Trevor Lawrence had these same three games in his sophomore season, people would be unanimously raving about his future on this board.
