Nick Foles is a very old school pocket passer kind of QB. I think the reason Lawrence was so interesting as a prospect was because he has the physical ability to do a little bit of everything, while also being a huge 6'6 QB. Ironically I think Travon Walker and Trevor Lawrence as prospects are about as similar as they could be. They have a very special combination of Physical attributes and ability. Lawrence has the ability to be very similar to Patrick Mahomes based purely on his physical ability... maybe not quite the same cannon arm, but fairly close. 

For me, as much as people think I hate Lawrence and I don't.. I just want to see him improve in the areas that worried me when he was coming out of college. My main issue with his play last year wasn't his stats or his win/loss record. It's that I basically saw all of the bad that I saw in Clemson, and very very little of the good from Clemson and almost no improvement. 

I really, really hope that he makes a big jump this year and has actually been putting in the effort in the off-season to correct his flaws.. we will know soon tho. Hoping for the best.

You saw lousy receivers running wrong routes and dropping passes at Clemson?  You saw a defense that was so bad that by the time he took the field he was forced to carry the whole team on his back and play from behind?  Clemson had the worst head coach of all time?  You saw all that at Clemson?  

I can answer those questions for you: no, no, no, and no.  

You're just trolling.  Get a life.  Don't drag this out for another hundred pages.

You didn't see offensive play calling so atrocious that they took a pre-seaon candidate for the pro bowl at running back and gave him half as many carries as Carlos [BLEEP] Hyde and then made the rookie throw it 51 times in the very first game. That's all you need to know, absent anything else, about how disgustingly awful last season was.
