Not to [BLEEP] in your Gatorade, but it's likely that Trevor won't start off playing like Brady in his prime. That's okay, but we'll need to see how much attention Lawrence starts off drawing. My guess is teams will probably start off disrespecting him and trying to get any opportunity they can get to lay a "welcome to the NFL, rookie," hit on him.

Which is fine. I'm not stupid enough to expect those numbers from a rookie RB day one anyway, any more than I'm expecting Lawrence to be inducted into the Hall of Fame on the evening of his first game as a rookie starting on the last ever 1-15 team. But you can't have it both ways; these are both extremely good players, rookies or not. If Etienne is shut down because they're disrespecting Lawrence, I'm happy to take what that gives us.
