So no.  I don't have any more inside information than anyone else.  I could provide you "links" about Trevor's injury, instead I've paraphrased the important points.  If you think I'm wrong, then you can provide facts that I either ignored or have misstated.

When you look at the reporting and the facts, it's pretty obvious his left AC is not hurt.  It's injured.  There is a difference from being sore or not right, or strained, compared to injured and needs surgery.  So, let's throw him out there right?  He needs to play, right?  Because these next 6 games are super important!  We must see how Trevor Lawrence can play with an injury that has taken a month to deal with and is still not being reported as being healed.  Doug has said they made "internal changes".  Doug has not stated anything factual.  So all we have is analysis.  

Based on this lack of Doug being an honest/transparent HC, we need to assume what?  That Trevor is ready to play?  Because we need to throw our QB into a messed up situation with a incompetent HC to ensure that he he can overcome all odds on a team that has no defense?  All while he has to sit in the pocket against defenses that will be trying to knock his [BLEEP] out?  Under a OC and HC that have no idea how to protect him from further injury?  Historically speaking this is 2 years out of 3 that Trevor Lawrence has been significantly injured under Pederson coaching.  So we should assume Trevor is gonna be just fine after the next 6 games based on the last 2 years???  Oh yeah, that's a great strategy.  /s
I just don't understand the logic you are trying to prove.  

But the injury is on his non-throwing arm, right?  Therefore let's throw him to the wolves on a lame duck team with with a lame duck HC and a lame duck GM all while knowing he's gonna get surgery on a significant AC injury on his left shoulder?

Seems like a good idea...  Shut him down.  Get him healthy as soon as possible.  That's what a real franchise would do.

On the flip side.  If I'm wrong, and Doug and Trevor run off 6 straight wins, then I'll concede that I'm totally wrong and praise your foresight.

This is what people are trying to say. No one knows what his injury is. We just know it's a left shoulder injury.

Doug has said about 4 times that he doesn't need surgery and has no idea where that has come from.

Trevor hasn't done any press conferences but has travelled with the team.

This is what is causing the confusion/frustration. No one knows what the actual issue is.

If you believe what Doug says, I have beach front property in Callahan County that Doug wants you to buy for cheap!  You'll make millions.

Doug hasn't been transparent or honest for 2 years now...

Quick Edit: Just to say, this is the Lawrence Thread. I don't trust the HC or the front office to do what's best for Lawrence. There are QBs in this league that can't even hold a candle to what Trevor Lawrence does when he's got protection and good WRs, and good play routes/calling. I'm so sick and tired of having to listen to the national media praise QBs that are so far worse than Lawrence. We're wasting a generational talent, and it's really depressing at this point.
