He continues to be mediocre and not justify his contract while the team is in cap hell stuck with it.  I am not saying it will happen but it is hard to justify paying him $50 million a year right now. I do not care about the money value but do care how it effects the cap.  He has not sold me on being the franchise yet.  Clearly, he has sold you.  I think it is wise to let him prove he is worth the money.  Yes signing him now could save money but could also save a massive future headache if it does not work out.

Lol, yeah, it will be just awful for this team to be "stuck" playing for the division and getting playoff home games for the next decade. Just terrible. He's 24, played through literal hell in the last couple seasons and still has the team in position to win long term. People are fixated on the last six games instead of the tremendous improvement made in 2 seasons. Whatever it takes to hold on to this guy needs to be done, it's really hard to get one and I don't feel like waiting another decade for the next one to come around.

We have a difference of opinion. I do not see the same things you see.

My take :

I see a Qb with all the physical tools but also over hyped. I see a QB that struggles with consistency. I have seen too many easy throws missed by Lawrence that is just not elite QB materiel. I love the arm, I love the toughness, I love the heart, but I question many aspects of his game.

Do stats per game tell the tale? No!
Does career stats? YES

Make all the excuses you want but as of present time, it is easy to argue he is not a top 10 QB. Yes he has the potential but that is just that.  I want to see him show that potential to prove he is worth the cap hit. Some are blind Homer's and already have him as first ballot hall of famer. It is part of being a fan. I have a different take.

You got blind faith. I am a realist. Josh Allen proved it on the field. Lawrence has not yet. As I said before, good but not great. Some have him out of the top 10

When was the last time this franchise had a good quarterback? Mark Brunell.

Trevor is *at worst* the 12th best quarterback in the league. Pay the man. He’s next.

Agreed on the QB take but not the value. If he signed a middle tier contract I would Agree. I don't see 9 figure play on the field.
