You don't have to be an armchair QB, scout or general manager to see that he has talent while being sandbagged by an offense that's void of talent. It's just a moot point for me now. 

Again, doesn't matter if we're talking about all-time great QB's or football teams in general. Lawrence cannot and will not push this team further than being a sub average .500 football team until the talent around him improves. Period.

This is no different than what happened with Tom Brady in New England with the defenses, running game and skill position players Belichick managed to find for him. It's no different than the talent he went for in Tampa Bay to pick-up right where he left off. Brady had enough sense to leave New England because the talent was void around him. 

It's not all that hard to see really for me personally. He's a third year QB that just finished with his third straight different OC with a below average offensive line and a receiving core that is below average in creating separation and there's really no viable deep threat that scares you.

This team was talented enough to keep pace with the middle of the pack or below middle of the pack football teams and they were not good enough with a depleted WR room, a banged up QB and horrible defense to keep pace with the top five to ten teams in the NFL. With really, really [BLEEP] up and odd outlier being that they managed to beat the #2, #4 and #7 seeds along the way.

The only reason anybody thinks I dislike Trevor Lawrence is because i'm constantly forced to defend my takes. 

Instead, again.. I'm still being told I had a bad take for pointing out his flaws in college before he got here..

The same flaws that NYC and the others like to blame on everything aside from the guy doing it.

It's because you're dogmatic with dog [BLEEP] takes and have an even more dogmatic approach in accepting that you're unwilling to see the forest for the trees. 

He has flaws. Virtually every player does. That's why it's a game of match-up's, exploits and sometimes just straight up "My guy is better than your guy". 

The problem most of us have is that, somehow, Lawrence's flaws are amplified and made out to be the tip of the spearpoint and root cause of all this team's problems. 

When, in reality, he's probably towards the very bottom of the list in regards to flaws while there's more evidence to support that is truly the case in point that the majority are saying and seeing on a weekly basis. 

It's not just fans on here or nationally. You now have some reasonable analysts stating it plainly. Agree to disagree. It's all good.
