I’m not going to argue that he didn’t have inconsistencies last season but those are not things that stood out to me while he was at Clemson. I think that is why I have a easier time writing some(not all) of those faults off as falling more on his supporting cast and the situation he as in last year than on his game.

When I saw him play in college, it always seemed like if he had a decent crew around him he would flourish and his team was one of the best in the country.

I don't typically watch college football casually. There is a website where you can watch all of a players snaps from whatever game you want, in a short video. Realisticly you could go back and watch every pass Lawrence made in college in less than an hour there. Ironically enough I think the first time I found this website was the year Andrew Luck came out. But that's where I form my opinions on college prospects.

That Clemson team was just as good before he got there with Watson. Infact Watson and Lawrence had very similar numbers/success/production. Makes you wonder why Watson wasn't considered a generational talent, I mean he came in his rookie year on a bad Texans team and looked pretty damn good from the start. 19 Tds 8 ints in only 6 starts his rookie year. 7 more touchdown passes in 11 less starts than Lawrence. That's wild.
