Lawrence is still a great prospect and I like a lot of what I see out of him.  But damn, he doesn't get much support out of this offense at all.  Marvin Jones doesn't seem to get open, Chenault still can't run pass patterns and can't figure out when he's supposed to stop and when he's supposed to keep running, and the coaching staff can't seem to figure out a game plan that Trevor can execute under those circumstances.  And as for the Rams game, Trevor was running for his life out there to avoid getting killed. 

It's easy to say we should commit to the run more, but when you get 2 yards a carry, and the backs start fumbling, you're stuck with receivers that can't get open and an offensive line that can't keep Aaron Donald out of the backfield. 

And then to literally add insult to injury, Trevor got hit by a helmet right in the jaw and somehow, the refs didn't see it.  

I hope Trevor can hang in there mentally and physically, and just get to next season. 

That's it.  In spite of these games being unwatchable, I can't seem to stop watching.  I continue to root for this dumpster fire of a team.  I guess it's just 27 years of habit.

Poor Trevor.  I really feel sorry for him.

He’ll be okay because he understands he was drafted by the worst team in the league. I’m sure he’s well aware of all the other first pick QBs that floundered their first year. I’m also very confident he is under no illusion this first year would be fulfilling. That doesn’t make it any easier, just expected.

I see this picture of him from yesterday and think of what advice Elon Musk gave to young struggling entrepreneurs: “When you’re chewing on glass and staring into the abyss, keep going.”
