Most of these players that are hyped up as generational talents fail to live up to the hype.

There's really only two options why the Jets wouldn't take Lawrence. He either stays in school, or he tries to force a trade (or I guess they win a couple games, but that's highly unlikely). If he's going to try and force a trade, he's a [BLEEP] and not a true franchise QB.

Lawrence is being spoken of like John Elway or Peyton Manning.  Not since Andrew Luck has anyone been considered a generational talent like this.  Not Cam Newton.  Not Baker Mayfield.  Not Sam Bradford.  Not Matthew Stafford.  What QB are you referring to that has been hyped like this and missed?

That being said, it will be up to our new GM to determine if that assessment is warranted and evaluate the price they would be willing to pay to get him.  Unless the Jets can beat the Dolphins this weekend... that would help!

Generational type talent gets thrown around every year. I'm not just talking about the QB position, I'm talking about every position in general. They get put up so high on this pedestal, it's almost impossible for them to live up to the hype.

But regardless, I'm still hoping and rooting that the Jets can weasel out a win or two. My fingers are crossed and I've been rooting/watching them most every week.
