, Josh Allen was the only franchise QB that struggled, than three years later finally put it together. 

I would love to add Mahomes to that list, but could not make the list because he did not even start his rookie year.

I'm not moving the goalpost, feel free to scroll down to page #49 to see my original post on this matter. So yes your argument of mentioning those QBs in flawed because none of those QBs "are hitting the ground running" those QBs are STILL bandaids to their respectable teams.


If you mean by will Lawrence improve in his third year versus his first and second? Sure. But that doesn't necessarily mean he is going to be mentioned by those other guys I've mentioned.  

As it remains you are wrong in this current era. You were right on the earlier era of QBs. Typically if a QB is going to be very good they hit the ground running soon as they hit the league, evidence by these guys I've mentioned.

LOL

Spin it however you want.

Read it however you want. People want to criticize Pederson for putting everything on Lawrence shoulders but he is doing it the right way, studying him and seeing if he can handle the workload. That's the right way of doing it, unfortunately I'm a tad nervous that Lawrence will do just good enough (because of the defense), and the run game to warrant another extension when or by his rookie deal. But whats so good about this situation is that Pederson is doing this for long term future.  If Lawrence flourishes by being a drop back QB than we will have one of the best offenses in the league and QB in the league.  IF we don't I just hope we could move on and not have an Alex Smith, Cousins or a Tannehill of QB in our roster because all were going to do is waste our prime roster and never win a chip, which is the ultimate goal. Look at what happend to 'Tacks they had everything going for them last year and had one hell of a roster (cheap too) just for their QB to come short and completetly ruin their SB inspiration. 


Pederson knows what he is doing. If Lawrence could succeed in a drop back system we will be hard to beat in the next two to three years.
