He had a much improved season last year but let’s not pretend the beginning of last year wasn’t ugly. The Broncos game in London? First Texans game? There are a few examples. At this point in his career he’s probably had more bad games than good games or close to equal.

With that said I think if it weren’t for the fact that he was expected to become an elite QB and he was taken #1 overall adds to many labeling him the way they have.  You don’t see many 9ers fans labeling Purdy as elite yet at equal points in their careers Purdy has been more successful, obviously his roster has been better, but regardless.

I guess my point is let’s just be cautiously optimistic. This upcoming season teams will have tape on a much improved Lawrence, I just hope that he can take that next step and become the consistent QB that we need.

Being cautiously optimistic is very characteristic of me.  I almost always temper my optimism with a strong dose of caution.  

But at this point, I am throwing caution to the wind.  I've seen enough of a trend to say, Trevor is going to be a top-5 QB at minimum.  There were so many elite-level throws and plays and leadership in the last half of last season, this is not Blake Bortles out there.  This is the real Trevor Lawrence.
