This is how I feel. Well said

He's our QB. Not our franchise QB. Done making excuses for the kid. You can draw up all the excuses you want, you can make the Andrew Luck connections all you want.

The bottom line is that he's turned the football over just as much as Bortles did in the same amount of career starts. He's taking bad situations around him and making them worse. 

It's like watching a kitchen fire break out and instead of smothering the flames and throwing salt on the nonsense he's, at times, throwing more oil into the fire or fanning the flames. 

Some of the turnovers he's had are [BLEEP] inexcusable man. The fumble on Sunday night football against the Ravens is one of them that jumps out. He's not entirely at fault, but, my god man, the turnovers have to [BLEEP] stop, or, he has to start throwing more TD's or rushing for more TD's. 

Allen might be a turnover machine, but, he AT LEAST puts the [BLEEP] football in the endzone nearly double the amount of mistakes he made. Lawrence BARELY broke even this season in that column and that's a problem. He's getting no [BLEEP] slack from me in 2024. NONE.

Sink or swim is the theme for this team in 2024. If they fail like they just did again for the second year in a row? Just like that. We're looking at a reset potentially. Wild to think and say that out loud but it's there.

And Josh Allen wasn't this version of Josh Allen right out the gate. Neither was Luck.

It wasn't until their 3rd seasons (I'm excluding Lawrence year 1 dumpster fire under Urban) where you really saw the leap. Lawrence is still so young. He's 1 year older than Penix! Trevor won't be 25 until October! When Luck was 24, he put up 23 TDs and 9 interceptions. 

I agree that his turnovers are something to worry about but he has to be PERFECT for this team to even have a chance. They can't run the ball. Not even a little. He has had a revolving door at WR outside of Ridley. An Oline that is constantly giving up pressure up the middle (which no QB, not even Brady, could work with).
