I’m not going to let the first game of the season change my mind on that one. However, I think the hope that he was going to step in and be an Andrew luck style instant winner has definitely been dashed. He’s more of a Josh Allen project that is going to take some time to develop but has all the tools to be great. While this may seem surprising, college offenses can cover up a lot of flaws of a player. That is why it is so hard to project QBs.  that said, I’m confident that Trevor Lawrence will be our quarterback for the next 10 years.

I agree with what you say but as others have said he's far and away better than anything we've had at QB for some time. The big thing for me is you look at the situation Lawrence came into here. The team had #1 pick, Urban as coach and a real lack of quality on the O side of the roster. It shouldn't be on him to overcome all those things. Mahomes and Herbert are walking into much better situations than Lawrence did.

I get peoples frustration and expectations but he's just starting his 2nd year. If he's still playing like this year 4/5 then yeah its a worry.
