I don't know why you seem to think I have an open hatrid for Trevor Lawrence, I say the same type of crap about other people/players all the time and you stay silent. But as soon as #16 is involved you get defensive like you're his grandmother or something. 

Relax.

you say you don't, but the choices of words you use give your biases away.

When was the last time you referred to Burrow, Mahomes, or Allen as "big boy league QBs"? You could have just said "on par with" those three, or "among the upper echelon of QB's" without it sounding like you wanted to dump on his past performances as less than "big boy" level. Words matter.

If I described a QB as Bortles-esque, what picture does that paint in your mind? A 35-TD season, or a QB who bounces passes off his RB's foot? I could say I meant in good spirits, but my choice of words clearly are going to lead my audience to a negative connotation.

Well considering the post we're referring to was me indicating that I hope to see him join the "big boy leagues" statistically speaking, I was referring to said players. I don't think what I said was condenscending at all, Trevor has yet to be on any of those players levels yet in the NFL, what am I missing? Last year I was uninspired in our QB/Teams outlook for the season and got blasted for it, now i'm saying i'm hopeful and still being blasted.. kinda strange. 

Also comparing somebody to Bortles would be insulting, nothing I said was insulting nor was intended to be. I said I'm hopeful he will join the other big time players at his position statistically. You guys just want to argue for the sake of arguing if i'm being honest.

OK, cool. 

Since it isn't condescending to call grown men at the top of their field "boys," then I'm sure you'll understand when I say I can't wait until your posting graduates from "[BLEEP] ing your diaper" to "potty training."

Are you alright? You seem unhinged over nothing, as usual.
