Personally, All I really want out of his first year is a sub-double digit INT total. Give me 25 TD-7 INTs and i'll feel inspired. As far as w/l record, too much left to be decided on the team to even think about that right now.. but hoping for 7+ wins.

I'm glad you started this thread.

I've been thinking of starting a thread about expectations for Trevor Lawrence, but I was going to post it later, but since you did, I'll gladly join.

We disagree about the INT total.  It's not as if I would be disappointed with a single digit INT total.  To the contrary, I'd be thrilled with that kind of output over a full season for Lawrence.  I'm just not sure if that is a reasonable expectation for a rookie, even if that rookie is TL.

Peyton Manning threw some 28 INTs as a rookie.  Tom Brady threw 12 INTs this year, and he has a much better team around him than we do.  Justin Harrell, a rookie, managed to throw only ten, so it's theoretically possible, but given the holes on the OL and the lack of depth/talent at WR and TE here, I don't think a single digit INT total over a complete season in his rookie year is realistic. 

The ideal?  Yes.  But expecting that from TL his rookie year on this team is not realistic.

It will be great to revisit this after the draft when the team will be closr to fully stocked for the year.
