"Generational talent" is a fairly new term though so maybe it depends on how you define it. I think he will be very good when he gets some experience, possibly on a Andrew Luck or Ben Rothlisberger level. I'd say better than a 95% chance he's the franchise QB we've been waiting for.

The general consensus is that there have been 4 generational QB prospects in NFL history: Elway, Peyton, Luck, and Lawrence. I assume you know that Peyton and Luck never won a championship, and Elway never even made a bowl game on his way to a losing college record!

Consensus among who? I'll give you Elway and Peyton. But Luck? Better than Montana? Better than Brady? Oh, you mean pre-draft. I'd bet you could find more than that. For example, Peyton and Ryan Leaf had similar evaluations at the time which just goes to show you that you never know, lol.

I'm not sure Lawrence is a concensus in the realm of Elway but he's definitely a consensus number 1.
