Zach Wilson looks like hot garbage and has 2 Tds to 7 INTs and has thrown right to defenders multiple times. He's also been sacked a lot from holding the ball. Fields can't even beat out Dalton and his chance to come out and take the job was meh at best.

Earlier today, Jared Goff spoke about the norm for rookie QBs to struggle.  With the Bears the next Lions opponent, the article focuses on Justin Fields.  But much of what Goff expressed can probably be applied to most NFL rookie QBs over the years, including Trevor Lawrence.

Good read, thanks for sharing. Nice to get a candid take from a QB on what's it like being a rookie. I honestly don't have any issues with Lawrence's mistakes because it feels like there mistakes he's making while trying to figure out what he can get away with. He still makes wow plays that only a few players can make and is attitude has been really good.

Honestly when I look back at Bortels and Gabberts rookie years they just had a different feel from what I've seen Lawrence so far.
