No what is frustrating me is the lack of a “rising up” from our QB. You were drafted number one overall. Play like it

What I would is there is very long list of QB's drafted in the top 5 who fail because of the situation and team bereft of talent and good coaching so they cannot grow to being an elite QB. 

This was a long discuss on this board before the T-Law draft pick. 

Just because he was draft No. 1 or even in the top 5 doesn't mean he will be finished project, especially in this era of college and NFL football. For example Tua looked like a bust last year, and this year with a full team around him, he looks like he may turn a corner.

Mahomes and Allen were drafted to Playoff teams. Texans were a fringe division contender when they traded up to get Watson. Lamar fell to a team with talent/coaching.

Burrow is the only real recent exception to this, and their defense has been lucky with unnatural health for 2 seasons and veteran presence, and they have more offensive playmakers than the Jags have had at 1 time since maybe the late 90's squads? 

There are so many aspects to any particular play that makes it succeed or not.

On top of all that T-Law is not the backyard scramble QB of the Mahomes/Farve ilk. He is the cerebral Rivers/Ryan/Brees/Peyton type. That takes time to learn and master, and the right pieces around him. 

I completely understand the frustration, and it is valid.

The process just takes time. For once the coaching staff seems to be professionals (first time since Del Rio), even if they make mistakes with play calling, rosters, and time management. The roster has some talent, but we all know it needs a lot more.
