So I'm hoping that Lawrence has a reasonable OL, WR, run game, and health through the 2024-25 season so that his (yearly) statistical stats match up with his performance. This will be Lawrence's 4th year, and I hope the training wheels will come off.  I'm absolutely fine if Trevor comes up into the top 5 or 10 QB rankings, but I want to see the yearly stats to back that up.  2-1 TD to INT ratio and rating in the upper 90s.

LOL

Gimme a break

How many people in this thread have said "elite, but..." 

2?  

You know very few are calling him that but rather predicting he could get there - which makes him worthy of big money to many. 
You should hear how many Jags fans are calling the local radio shows saying "don't pay him - he hasn't proven it yet." 
There are NOT tons of Jags fans calling him elite.


He's an ascending QB with great potential that suffered bad line play and multiple injuries.
Which makes all of your references to stats pretty meaningless. 


Hopefully this season those "excuses" don't become a factor in the equation again. 
  And seriously, you can [BLEEP] right off with that "training wheels" garbage.

Agreed. He has elite qualities. Has flashed it enough. Just needs a chance to become more consistent. He's probably getting $50M per year if a deal gets done in the next few months. 

The locals here call in all the time and trash the [BLEEP] out of Lawrence more often than not. It's extremely rare that kid gets high, high praise but he certainly gets called anything BUT elite by the majority of the locals. 

The training wheels have been off though. I think once you get to the point to where your Quarterback is throwing it for 550+ pass attempts per season the wheels have been off. It's not like he's Brock Purdy with a loaded WR core, top tier RB and top tier TE. 

Purdy had a whopping 444 pass attempts last year. Fart in the wind compared to the 564 attempts Lawrence was tasked with producing, and that's with both of them missing a game during the regular season.
