It's nice to see somebody with an open mind on the conversation, who actually noticed his issues on accuracy and touch..  particularly his fast ball to the flat that caused many drops out of the backfield, his extremely errant throws on the run and as you put it, some throws that left me wondering what he could have possibly seen (the 3 or 4 ints he threw over the middle, directly to a linebacker with no wr/te/back in sight.)

Appreciate the comment, tho. It's refreshing to see somebody actually talk about the issues and or the bright spots without simply saying "He played good" like a lot of posters here do.

I think the flaw that concerns me the most is how his mechanics look like they break down under pressure. It doesn't happen all the time but it happens enough that it's concerning. I think that's why he tended to overthrow receivers at times. In college he got away with it but but there's enough natural talent there and the work ethic seems to be there so that he can eventually overcome it in any case. The idea that he was a generational talent like Elway or some of these other guys he was being compared to was obviously hyperbole but I think he'll ultimately become the franchise level QB the Jags have lacked since Brunell. Continuing to upgrade the WR corps over the next couple of years will pay dividends too.

Yeah two of my biggest issues last season and before that was his accuracy was super inconsistent. Obviously, under pressure I wouldn't expect anyone to be perfect but it was the throws I watched him make when there was no pressure that concerned me. There was a play last year, that I've mentioned a few times where we were on I want to say the 10 or 15 yard line, had two guys on crossing routes and he not only completely overthrew his target (who was open, but barely) but also the other crosser was wide open in the endzone.. It was a really poor decision to throw it where he did but what bothered me the most is that he had 0 pressure on him and just sailed it far out the back of the endzone. His mechanics do tend to breakdown a bit under pressure, but I think thats fixable.. the accuracy inconsistency was and is still my biggest concern honestly. 

I don't think he's a bust tho, I think a lot of people here are under that impression. I just feel like all of the "experts" took a look at his w/l record in college, combined with him winning against Alabama in his first year and just decided he was that dude. I geniunely felt almost exactly the same way about Herbert coming out as I did with Lawrence. If he turns out to be as good as Herbert, I'd be pleasently surprised at this point.

I would also say our LBs with the 2 rookies.

I would agree with your LB's cause that's my Commanders weakest unit,but RB we pretty strong...

Gibson and Robinson imo are pretty comparable in terms of production/skill. I'd say with ETN joining the team, our group has the potential to be better than the commanders but if it's just Robinson vs Gibson, pick your poison.
