Also shout out to the defense man they were insane today looking like the '17 jags. Here's to hoping we can get a superstar or two in free agency and have another good draft and start winning around here.

I thought his game vs the jets 2 weeks ago was nearly as sharp with only a shade less accuracy. (his footwork was better today) 

The games in weeks 4-6 showed very clear signs of what we saw today from him. he just had so many things working against him. I remember posting this list around week 14 or 13 laying out what he was dealing with as a rookie at that time:

• There is not a QB in the league  more crippled by poor coaching than Lawrence was for the vast majority of season
  
• There are only 5 QB in the league who have been hurried more often than Lawrence.
  
• There are only 10 Qb in the league who have seen more blitzes than Lawrence
  
• There are only 4 QB in the league who have suffered as many dropped passes as Lawrence.
  
• There are 0 starting QB league wide (who have not missed games) who have as few red zone pass attempts as Lawrence. ZERO
  
• There are only 7 QB league wide who have been knocked down as many times as Lawrence
  
• There are 26 QBs league wide (50 attempts or more) who experienced better average pocket time than Lawrence.
  

That's a lot to overcome. 

I also think Schottenheimer's play calling was a MAJOR factor in getting Trevor in position to succeed today. 
He was missing that element most of the season. He was asked to throw an inordinate number of low completion probability passes according to fantasy sites that track that stat. Especially for a rookie. 

Today's performance, to me, simply looked like the other games I mentioned he played well in except with better play calling and better footwork resulting in an accuracy uptick.

I disagree, this game was maybe similar statisticly to the Jets game, but today he not only had much better accuracy but showed up clutch on key downs. I think the Marvin Jones touchdown was the big "wow throw" I've been waiting for. Ball was snapped over his head, he kept composure and threw a dot. This was his coming out game, it's unfortunate that it had to be at the end of a lost season but it was against a good team that had a lot to play for.

The jets game he played OK but had quite a few bad throws and was also playing against a team that had 20 players in covid protocol.

Did he have any off target throws? The pass that was caught outside of the end zone looked to me like it may have been a throwaway, but that's the only throw I can recall that looked like it might be off target.

There was a throw to the RB over the middle that he sent in the dirt after avoiding pressure but aside from that he was pretty good today.
