In another thread you lumped the terms "generational, elite, and franchise QB" together. 
These are three distinct and different classifications of QBs.

The league may have as many as 10-12 "franchise QBs" in a given season. Guys that are playing well enough to get a team to the postseason if other areas on the roster don't hold them back too much. Not all are worthy of long term deals but they play well enough to make it hard to move on from them without feeling certain about landing an upgrade. 

Elite QBs are usually 3-6 guys each season. Big time production, and easily worthy of a major contract. 

"Generational" QBs are guys that only come around 2 or 3 times in a generation. 
Lots of folks get confused about this label and it's association with TL because he was labeled a Generational prospect. We won't know if he's a generational QB for quite some time. 

Brady, Mahomes and maaayyyybe Rodgers are the only guys catching that term from recent "generations."
For now. 

You are calling for Lawrence to be a top 5 quarterback based on that TD number you claim to expect.
That would make him "elite."  Not a member of the condescending "big boy leagues."

Okay so I'm not going to respond to what is wrong with everything you just said, but I will clarify what I meant in an easier to understand way. I BELIEVE that Trevor will continue to improve, and we will see more of the guy we saw in the second half of last season for the majority of the upcoming season.. And if that comes to pass, he will likely have the statistics to go along with what I perceived to be mostly elite play throughout that time frame last season. And the addition of Ridley just gives me more reason to be hopeful in that prediction.


And when I say "Big Boy Leagues" I do not mean simply "an NFL QB" I mean one of the top tier QBs, ala Elite.. or at worst borderline elite.
