And the “we need to wait to evaluate rookie QBs” knife cuts both ways. RG3 had a great rookie year and look how that turned out. You have to give the QB time, and a right situation to evaluate, before making any final judgement calls.

Oh I agree, but you're falling into the same trap with Trevor, he gets every excuse known to man about talent, when Minshew arguably had less around him. We say we need time, Minshew never had an entire season as a starter... So yes, it SHOULD go both ways, yet it didn't for GM. I just find it funny he was far better and got tossed out like chopped liver, but we objectively downgraded(At least in the short term) and he gets the golden pass to suck even more than Minshew. Its just funny to me, I think Lawrence will end up better but just how things are portrayed vs reality is comical, is all.

I appreciate the excitement and fun that Minshew brought to us for a little while, but just because the resulting appearance of game outcome was similar to some degree doesn't mean they're showing the same ability and limitations. Unfortunately Minshew seemed to have some major limitations that eventually showed. Maybe Lawrence will, too, but he needs another season or so with a reasonable team around him to really get an idea of where he is and where he's going.

Unfortunately the coaching around him has been so bad so far that it has been hard to tell which problems were Trevor and which were due to coaches not having the team prepared. Worse yet with the absence of Chark and Agnew Trevor doesn't have anyone that can help him show his biggest advantages over Minshew, arm talent and vision. If Trevor does much of anything the rest of the way it looks like it's going to be toothpicks and bubblegum style.
