However, Lawrence hasn't even reached his 30th career start yet, let alone, put up a winning record. It's a little too early to be placing him on a pedestal or anointing him with teal colored holy oil.

Great performances so far this year. For sure. Progressively showing he's capable of learning and fixing his issues. For sure. Now, what's the next step? The most important game is the next one. We'll see if he can keep it going. I just think it's odd that we'll stand here and compare two different QB's from two different era's, roughly, 20 - 30 years apart from each other.

What Brunell did was exceptional throughout his career here. What Lawrence has done this year and yesterday? Pretty damn exceptional as well. Future looks like bright. Just like it did back in 1996. Cheers man!

Wins aren't a QB stat. The teams surrounding him had tons of all stars and multiple hall of fame level players. Given the quality of players surrounding him he looked like the guy holding the team back, not a guy making success happen.
