It would be one thing if Lawrence had addressed the media, say, like Josh Rosen did during the combine and draft process. Or, had he pulled some trade nonsense like Eli Manning did when the Chargers selected him. If he was over the top with his attitude like Cam Newton or a little bit too lippy and mouthy for his own good like Baker Mayfield?

I would understand the hate. He's very humble though. He didn't tout himself as some generational talent neither. That's up to the media and analysts to make that determination. So far this year though he's playing pretty damn good football while learning a new system and gelling with new players.

I agree. I've been thinking about this more too, and it just seem even more absurd to me. Who cares if he is or isn't a generational QB right now.

He is the current QB of the Jags. Despite any flaws he has, he appears to be more promising than other QB that the Jags could have drafted in 2020, 2021, or 2022. I know there are some Mac Jones supporters, but MJ appears to be in a poor offensive situation as TL was last year and he is playing as poorly as TL did under UM.

He is not perfect. Virtually no pseudo-rookie QB is perfect. But he shows enough flashes that he get good enough to get to and win a SB for a team.  Plus Super Bowls are won by teams and full rosters combined with good coaching and some luck, not just the QB.

Unless the argument is they Jags should cut bait for a QB in the 2023 draft class/FA, the whole argument just seem only designed to troll people or defend some prior take on draft day. 

If they want to critique what TL is doing poorly and can improve on. Great. Most of the board is doing that, and understand he definitely has areas to improve right now.
