Has he made some poor decisions and have some accuracy issues? Sure but lots of young QBs do....

If you still need convincing on Trevor Lawrence, I'm not really sure what to say.
He IS a franchise QB. He has elite talent. 
Not many QBs are labeled "elite" after year 2 so.....

There's no doubt that he's our "franchise QB" (That was a rhetorical question btw) and hopefully will be for many years to come.  I already said he has all the skills, why do you think I need "convincing"?

He has elite talent, but here's a difference between talent and performance and he has yet to perform at a consistently elite level.  The occasional poor decisions and accuracy issues you mentioned are what's kept him in the good range.  He made great progress last year, and if he continues to improve, he'll get there, but I don't think many outside of Jacksonville would label him "elite" quite yet.

I'm looking at the last 9 games of last season, when he had 2,200 yards, 70% completions, 15 TDs, 2 Ints, 7 wins and 2 losses.  

Granted, that first half against the Chargers was not pretty, but on the other hand have you ever seen a QB dig himself that deep a hole and then climb out of it and win the game?  

Remember how we used to ask, will Trevor ever be able to put the team on his back and win a game in the 4th quarter?  And then he did just that, over and over and over, against some very good teams.    

I've seen enough to convince me.
