Trevor Lawrence represents a new beginning for this franchise.  He will sell tickets.  He will pull in fans.  He'll pull in a lot of young fans.  He will draw media coverage.  He will sell jerseys.  I think he had some influence on getting Lot J approved.  Lot J might bring in enough extra revenue on game days to persuade Khan that he doesn't need to play in London.  

Plus, DeShaun Watson has a huge contract.  He costs about $35 million a year.  Joe Burrow signed a 4 year deal for a TOTAL of $36 million.  With the difference in those two contracts, we could easily sign a premium free agent like Leonard Williams.  So in a sense, you'd be trading Trevor Lawrence and Leonard Williams for Deshaun Watson.  

Plus, Watson is very unhappy right now.  I like our division rival having a very important, very unhappy player.  I don't want to relieve them of that problem.

Aside from you hearing that TLAW is a generational talent by the same people on TV who said Blaine Gabbert was a viable #1 overall pick in 2011, what leads you to believe he is so good? I'm not trying to sound like one of those people who act like they know everything, but i've watched every throw TLAW has made, he is not nearly as impressive as I was lead to believe he was. He got overly hyped for blowing out Alabama in his first season starting. He is a good prospect, don't get me wrong. He has the size/ability to be good, but nothing he's done in college leads me to believe he's about to out perform a top 5 QB like Watson. 

I'm a Jaguar fan first and foremost, but I am not dumb enough to think that Lawrence is going to come into the NFL and be anything Watson already has proven to be.

And btw, all of this is pointless because the Texans would NEVER give us Watson anyways.

Go watch that games highlights. Tell me how it was on Watson that they were fumbling kicks offs and having punts blocked?.. come on now.
