Go back and look at my old posts. Once we locked down the #1 pick, I was always in favor of drafting Trevor Lawrence. I just didn't think we'd get the chance. I was sure The Jets were gonna pick #1. What I actually said was that I believed Wilson had a slightly higher ceiling than Lawrence, but that he would take more time to get there. I believed Lawrence was gonna be better, in a quicker period of time, but Wilson may end his career with slightly better stats. I definitely saw Lawrence as the safer pick and since I am not a gambling man, I will always take the "sure thing." 

I don't know how many times my words have been twisted in this regard. When I believed we were picking #2, I was all in on Wilson, because I still believe he was without question, the 2nd best QB option in the draft. Once we got that #1 selection though, it was a whole new ballgame. I never thought Lawrence was in play for us, until we actually locked in that #1 pick. I thought for sure we'd do something to screw it up, like we normally do. Lawrence was the safer pick and I will always take the safer pick. My post from the end of the season all the way up to the draft, shows this. 

I still think both QB's will have long and successful NFL careers. Remember, both are rookies and will have many bad games along the way. That is part of growth. Peyton Manning had a miserable rookie season and he just went in the HOF. Rookie seasons like the one Justin Herbert had are almost unheard of. People shouldn't expect that for either of these guys. I just expect to see improvements from Lawrence from the beginning of the season to the end. I have no statistical expectations what so ever. 

Those are the facts.

Don't backtrack or move the goalposts now O-line. I called you out on your words/posts and have not twisted them in any way - and I won't let it go because of how farcical they were.

Those comments were made when we had the #1 pick also. I brought up the relevant posts months ago to show you, so you're more then welcome to go through the history because I've already done it once but now its funny how a few months time passes by and are singing a completely different tune. I remember engaging with another poster regarding your sentiments about Wilson > Lawrence (mind you, when we had the 1st pick) and how you were trying to make the contrarian draft "assessment". It's all good man, just own up to it.

And this has nothing to do with reading comprehension my friend because you've added more details now and even after the posts in which I already pointed out how wrong you were on Lawrence initially.

I'm not backtracking at all. Read the actual posts and use your brain. You are either lying or you aren't intelligent enough to comprehend what I actually posted. I know what I said. You are just looking for a fight. Some posters on here are just trolls and I guess you fall into that category. If you want to continue being a troll, you can do it in silence. I don't have time or energy to deal with people who twist facts. Blocked.
