However, if you are going to have a contrarian argument, you'd better supply ample facts and logic to support your claim.  I dont think that is too much to ask.

You have yet to do so.

You have yet to address my comparison showing EIGHT (9) times in Wilson's college career, BYU was held to <21 points (including at least two in single digits) while TL's Clemson yeams were NEVER held to <21 points.

You have yet to address the other poster's observation about TD/INT ratio.

Ya I don’t really do stats or look at the level of competition. For me it’s the eye test. Like Ron Wolfe was famous for saying “trust your eyes”. The kid hits the target with a quick release on all different platforms. 

Maybe I’m wrong and Lawrence will be everything we hope he will be. To be completely honest with you it’s that when I watch him play I see Gabbert... and that stresses me out.. when I see Wilson play it reminds me of Rodgers/Mahomes with the twitchy hands and accuracy. 

It’s obvious that we will take Lawrence because if we don’t it will be a PR disaster. That’s unfortunate we are locked to the pick because I think Wilson is going to be a star.

I'm not a huge stats guy either, but there has to be a way of quantifying your statements.

You say you use the eye test, but how reliable is that?  You say he hits the targets on all platforms.  Does he hit those targets with guys like former top 3 1st round picks Quinnen Williams or Chase Young in his face, against a second round safety like Grant Delpit, beating a corner like Caleb fairly the way Trevor Lawrence has?  That's why level of competition has to be a factor.

Just this past season, hLawrence went up against guys discussed as candidates to be drafted in the first three rounds like Gregory Rousseau, Jaelen Phillips, Ifeatu Melifonwu, Asante Samuel, Baron Browning, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, and Carlos Basham.  Is there a comparable list of defenders Wilson ever had to play against?

If he has all of these physical tools, why didn't they translate into high productivity all three years of his career?
