1. The reason I mention college, is because I was skeptical of his extremely over the top ratings by the so called "experts" because I saw many flaws in his game, that the guys he was being compared to (luck/manning/elway) did not have. While evaluating his play from his rookie season I'm seeing a lot of the same mistakes I saw in college, which in turn the fans on this board like to point out and blame the supporting cast for. My counter argument is, if it's the supporting cast in Jacksonville causing his faults.. was it also his star studded teammates faults in college too?

2. I said I saw no reason for hope based on his rookie year because his play was flat out abysmal, again you see the same mistakes being made that he made in college and very few of his strengths from college showed up on game day in the NFL. 

3. These analyst that are now boasting about his "good play over stats" have only come out to say this after realizing what an absolute dumpster fire of a coach Meyer was, combined with the lack of talent surrounding him. Of course he had a few moments, but he had 5 bad plays/missed throws/poor reads for every one "good" play. 

4. I'm not annoyed because i'm wrong, prior to him being a Jaguar I expressed my skepticism for just how good of a prospect he was, and his rookie season not only completely defended my opinion but made him look worse than I even expected. 

5. Not really, roasting would imply that I'm getting owned because I was wrong and I've not been wrong about Lawrence. Trolling however, does occur most times I post here. 



At the end of the day, rookies can improve theres no denying that and it's what I think we all want. But the simple fact is I have my opinion that I put hours of my own time into forming. The people arguing with me have no evidence to support their claims outside of what they hear on ESPN. And people seem to get very upset when they hear anything negative regarding our team and I don't blame them.. it sucks. But I'd just remind you that on my old account I made a post, a few days after our Blake Bortles selection.. saying much of the same.. minus the little bit of hope I do have because this guy is talented. And on that very thread, I was rediculed and mocked the same way. Would you agree my opinion that Bortles was not going to be good panned out? I'd say so.
