Saying Lawrence can be the franchise and saying he is the franchise are two totally different things.  I have watched the game of football for 30+ years.  I have seen many "can't miss" prospects fail in the NFL.  I have heard experts screaming "X" player is the best propect ever only for the same player to bust out in the NFL in less than one season.  College and the NFL are two totally different animals.  Ask all the high profile college coaches entering the League as HC and see how they have done.  This off-season is going to be  a crossroads time for Lawrence.  He is probably the worst starting QB in the NFL.  Lawrence no doubt has a ton of talent and has the ability to turn things around.  Will he is another question.

What I like about Lawrence:

- Very tall and can see over linemen.  This is an advantage in the grand scheme of things.
-Strong and athletic.  Can run and also strong enough to take a hit and get back up
-Strong Arm:  He can fling it

What I do not like about Lawrence game right now:
-Inaccurate!  Simply too many NFL QB throws off the mark.
-Decision Makeing:  It's BS saying it's all receivers:  Shadrick and Lagemen broke down  one of the int's last Sunday vs pat.  Lawrence had a receiver wide open for a big gain but he throws in right to a defender.
--No touch on the ball:  He doesn't seem to know how to lob a pass, take some mustard off of it,  or soft passes in general.  Almost every pass is a 500mph bullet.

Lawrence gets his rookie year mulligan but it's concerning going into this off-season we have seen 0 growth.  I would rather have the Week 1 Lawrence vs this week 17 Lawrence.
