Note to NFL teams: Stay away from Trevor Lawrence | Bust chance increases to 90 percent

Quote:The more I watch of Lawrence, the more this stuff is becoming clear to me. I have never bought into him to begin with, which helps me see through the false narratives and excuses so many like to wrap him in. Yes, he has the big arm – – I get that – – but he also is unreliable from the neck up and he has consistently shown it during his time in Jacksonville, and I have been evaluating and documenting it every step of the way.

...


At times Lawrence holds the ball too long and at times he tries to will his throws to happen, and he relies too heavily on that strength, which gets him into trouble and it will continue to.

It does not matter that Lawrence looks great part of the time or not. The hesitancy to pull the trigger and the overconfidence in his arm naturally comes out at all the wrong times. It is who Trevor Lawrence is. It is not a rookie thing.

...

On the first pick Sunday, Lawrence perfectly illustrates another reason he will continue to struggle. Once again he held the ball a little too long as he was sliding left. Denver’s defensive back stepped right in front of the pass and made the interception. This is exactly the difference between college and the NFL. In college he was able to get away with this when he did not have to rely on timing routes, but no way will this work in the NFL.

...


Not to mention, Lawrence continues to lack the necessary touch on passes at times throughout the game, and he puts too much heat on short passes his receivers drop. This is yet another problem he has had since day one in Jacksonville.

When you combine his glaring deficiencies with the lack of talent around him, Lawrence being a bust in Jacksonville is a sure-fire bet you can bet your house on. It will be years before the Jaguars will be able to build a talented roster.
