It was pretty remarkable, actually. From actually sitting in the stands, in a very good seat, seeing the whole field, the obvious problem was the receivers. Not the QB. And then, of course, when they did get open, they dropped the ball. But the main problem was that they weren't open. That's what I saw, from sitting in the stands, and seeing the whole field. Very few things in football are 100% guaranteed. Anyone claiming even tacitly or expressly after one year that he is 100% destined to be a bust is not to be taken seriously as a football fan. Short pop Quiz 1. There was once a rookie QB that threw more INTs than TDs, threw 28 INTs (worst in the league in that category), and finished 3-13 as a rookie starter. Bust? 2. There was another QB that was winless as a rookie (0-11), completed 52.9% of his passes, and threw twice as many INTs (18) as TDs (9) Bust? 3. There was still another rookie QB that got no playing time as a rookie, and partied so much he was traded away after one season. After three seasons, he still threw more INTs (39) than TDs (37). Bust? 4. Yet another rookie QB competed only 52.8 % of his passes and had more INTs )12) than TDs (10). Bust? Answer Key: 1. Not a bust. That QB was Peyton Manning. 2. Not a bust. That QB was Troy Aikman. 3. Not a bust. That QB was Brett Favre. 4. Not a bust. That QB was Buffalo's Josh Allen. Keep in mind Tevor Lawrence had numbers last year comparable or superior to all of the others in most categories. TL had as many wins his rookie year than Peyton Manning and threw fewer INTs. Manning had the benefit of a stud WR already on the roster in Marvin Harrison, and a stud RB in Marshall Faulk, and a stud LT in Tarik Glenn. TL had three more wins had a higher completion percentage, threw more TDs and fewer INTs than Troy Aikman. TL was better in all categories his first year than Brett Favre. TL had a higher completion percentage and threw more TDs than Josh Allen. Were you truly as passionate and knowledgeable a fan as you purport, you'd know not to thump your chest over a QBs rookie year struggles, and you'd know that QBs develop over time. Let it play out.
