Mannnnnn, you're brutal with our history of QB's. LOL. Sheeeeesh. I'll take those play off runs any day over those garbage Gus days. 

Anyway, I think Lawrence is the guy that can get us into the play-off's. Once he gets us there though we'll just have to see if he excels or folds. Hopefully he's capable of getting us there early in his career. To workout the kinks, etc.

Despite fans' varying definitions of franchise QB (more on that in a minute) the one thing that is undoubtedly clear is that Lawrence is a more talented player than any QB we've had in Jax to this point.
And that has been apparent for most of us since week of 5 last season or sooner. He does things his predecessors could not do and now he's doing them with some consistency. 

A "franchise QB" was once defined by an ESPN analyst in the 90's (shortly after the tag was implemented) as a player you would use the franchise tag on. His on-air cohort argued that it was a player who was both essential to the team to win games and also the face of the franchise. 

Take your pick. 

Trevor has earned that moniker either way you dice it up.
