Plus, if we DO completely clean house, there's going to be a whole new offense to learn, they'll have to rework all that chemistry anyhoo.

That's just not true at all man. Look at Burrow and Chase. Chase took a year off in college and took this whole offseason off. Burrow and Chase got that chemistry, that true bond. Burrow can close his eyes and knows where his superstar WR is. Chase also knows where to be when the play breaks down, for Burrow to hit him. 

The more reps for Trevor and BTJ the better. I don't even understand the argument against it. 

There is zero guarantee Trevor is even healthy next year. He has just an equal chance to have an injury next year as right now. BTJ could also be injured next season. None of it makes sense to sit them just because [BLEEP] it.

This assumes they don't already have chemistry, or that any of the concerns I raised won't affect timing or performance in a way that completely negates the benefit of extra unnecessary reps.

We've already seen gunshy Trevor, why do we want to grind him to paste if he's already worn and the season is lost?

If Trevor is good to go, let him play, fine. If he's just toughing it out to delay the inevitable, there's so little to be gained from the delay that it's more worthwhile to get the jump on a new season.

We should be talking about how Mac Jones is not nearly in the same galaxy as Trevor Lawrence...  Come on, you guys.  There are plenty of other threads to discuss the GM and the HC.  This is the Trevor Lawrence thread.  Certain haters of Lawrence are trying to ignore the absolute [BLEEP] show by our back our QB that proves that Lawrence is a legit franchise QB.

Mac is proving TL is the franchise. Is Mac proving to be the backup?

Do we believe he is worth offering the job on a modest, multi-year deal?

The headlines last weekend were that this is his opportunity to show he can start again. It may be better to say is he showing enough to be your backup?
