We have yet to see how the kid (Lawrence) performs in pads, in "real speed" and in an actual NFL game.  All we have are "touchdowns" in underwear practice not at full speed and with no real defense in his face.  This might be a case where preseason games might actually show us something.

As far as I'm concerned, Gardner should be considered the starting quarterback until Lawrence earns the spot.  I think the team would be smart to hold on to him for another season.  He has some trade value now, but if he ends up starting and plays "lights out" he would be more valuable as a trade candidate.  He's still on a rookie salary.
