What do you think the Jags record is? 3 wins? Now put Lawrence on that team with an elite OL, elite defense, elite HC, elite playcaller, a defense that has given up 20+ 3 times...... At worst they're 6-1. (10-29-2024, 08:55 AM)Cleatwood Wrote:(10-29-2024, 08:00 AM)Caldrac Wrote: Hey Trevor. Thanks for digging us out of the hell hole you helped create in the 1st half by not getting more than 15 yards in one quarter of play, throwing an INT inside our own 20 after our defense finally got you one and then also fumbling the ball at the 5 yard line later on to ultimately spot the [BLEEP] team 14 points.You compared Trevor to Jason Campbell bud. Take a break. Situation wise, yes, he's very much the same as Jason Campbell and Alex Smith. God, you guys, again, pick and choose what you want to read. Look at Campbell's first four years in Washington. Went from Gibbs to Zorn, was dealing with constant offensive coaching changes and styles, think he actually had a different offensive coordinator every single year in Washington. Was sandbagged by a clueless owner that was throwing money around with his front office that resulted in subpar results (8-8 and 10-6) seasons with either barely making it or missing it play off wise. Injuries also started happening. ![]() "What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky.

Too bad we can't play coulda, woulda, shoulda. We can only go based upon the body of work that's been presented to us. Everybody thought Cleveland would be fine after giving up on Mayfield and moving onto Watson. That's been a mistake so far. Everybody though the New York Jets would be fine after giving up on Wilson and moving onto Rodgers. That's been a mistake so far. Everybody thought Wilson was the issue in Denver. Looks like he's doing just fine in Pittsburgh. Everybody thought Goff was the issue in L.A. Stafford proved that to be the case to some extent. Goff is now having career years in Detroit. Point is. We don't know. We can claim we do. But, at the end of the day. It's all anybody's guess. ![]() "What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie?

If Mahomes were here the last 3 years he'd be just another TexTech stiff who couldn't make it in the NFL. Which is why this season is on the defense. It's by far the worst in the league which has hurt this team more than any other entity or player. Glad we cleared that up. We show less advertisements to registered users.

You keep tap dancing around this. Why is TLaw held to a much higher standard? That's bonkers and you know it. We don't want Trevor turtling up or holding back passes for fear of a random failure. Dude did plenty to keep us in the game in spite of his pick and fumble. So anybody without rings is supposed to play ultra conservative ball until they get them? Guess what, at that rate, they never will. You're saying TLaw has to be flawless to account for the failures of the D. Why isn't the opposite true? Shouldn't we then expect the D to play flawless in order to account for our QB's penchant to confirm his own humanity? The pick and the fumble hurt, and they hurt BADLY. But in spite of all that, the score was tied with a minute on the clock. The offense did their part to dig out of the hole they dug. How'd the D fare at helping them out? Is it just as unreasonable to expect the D not to give up 60 yards in 60 seconds as it is to expect TLaw not to commit a costly turnover?

TLaw is a clown for attempting to escape the pocket when his 3 IL fail to block 2 DL and he gets the ball knocked out. Yeah, I'm going to LOL hysterically at that logic. ALL QB's are going to have turnovers, and sometimes they happen at the worst time. This even happens to the "elite" ones. Prove me wrong. You can't.

Many including myself were scratching my head at that Lawrence contract. Outside of his suppose talent he didn't do much to earn it. Josh Allen has had only 2 good years in his career and the first one was thanks to Calais . Josh Allen is proving and has proved in the past that he is not a dominant edge rusher that scare's defense's. He may not get 8 sacks this year and flat out vanishes during games. Right now he is not playing anywhere near his contract. I do not even know what your point? You are saying they were wise to Give Lawrence and Allen the bank despite both showed inconsistency in their game? Good luck with that point of view but I disagree.

Lawrence will have a game or two that will make you fall in love. He then will have a run of stinkers that will just break your heart. I remember that people use to argue that Lawrence was better than Herbert. I can tell you that Herbert is better by a country mile. I do not think that people want to hate Lawrence. Hell, I would love to not have to comment on him. He just routinely does not make the game winning play or makes the game losing play.

The real backbreaker was the defense finally created a turnover only for the QB to give the ball right back.
