I can agree on that.  This league is full of 1 year prospects that vanished. I do not see that in Lawrence but time will tell.  I would say he is ascending that ladder to elite.

Playing like one and being one are two totally different things.  Playing like one can be short term. I do not think anyone is complaining about how Lawrence is peforming. He just has to do it enough.

If you've watched NFL QBs come and go long enough - it's pretty clear what he's showing us isn't a fluke.

Everybody has their own little definitions and terms for classifying athletes in tiers and whatnot, but we have one of the best QBs in the league and we're set to have him around for a long time. 

I've seen all I need to see to feel he'll be perennially labeled "elite."
The flukey guys don't show what he's shown that consistently - even in a short sample size. 
His talent level is rare. 

Believe me now, or believe me later.
