For the record,  I have been a TL guy since day one and have defended him to naysayers in my life,  but that is getting harder

I was concerned about his inconsistent accuracy coming out of college but was assured he’d become more consistent in the pros. Well, here we are. He also lacks a certain degree of field vision. He’s not terrible at it but he misses open receivers more often than you’d like for someone with his level of talent and experience.

But he’s going to be our franchise QB for at least the next four or five years so we need to learn to accept it.

His biggest flaw is that he plays within the system and expects everyone to be where they're supposed to be. If the play is for the WR to make a 15 yard dig route and be at a certain location, he is throwing to that location and trusting his WR and OL to do their jobs. 

Trevor is not perfect. No one claims he is. But outside of Mahomes/Allen, what QB could have come into this dumpster fire of a franchise and do more? Inept owner, clueless HC, snake GM, his first HC was the worst of all time, receivers who drop the most passes, a non existent running game, an achaic offensive system.... The list goes on. I'm not saying the pieces around him need to be perfect. We saw the bad OL in 2022 and he won a playoff game. He needs a HC who can actually gameplan well and play to his players strengths. A running game where the defense respects the run because Trevor is lights out when he can use PA pass. 

I think it was pretty clear from the start of that game that he shouldn't have been playing. He couldn't drive the ball like he normally does. The deep shot to BTJ was floated. 

This franchise is failing Trevor Lawrence like the clots did Luck and the Lions previously did Stafford. It's pretty clear at this point.
