Trevor Lawrence is a 22 year old, immensely talented, SECOND year QB who we are fortunate to have on this improving roster. Some of you guys are so negative it’s hard to believe how you live through the day. Original season ticket holder and Jags fan forever. Excuse me while I go back into my cave.?

What started as a simple "I don't see the hype, he's not a "generational talent" but has some promise" turned into constant defense of my original statement. It's only become negative because I was forced over and over again to point out my reasoning. I agree, he's a 22 year old with plenty of room to improve and is physically/mentally gifted.. Talented, is yet to be seen.

Someone else compared Rosen to Lawrence, what i said was that if i were the gm i would take the cardinals approach, meaning that i wouldnt wait 3-4 years to let a guy drafted highly develop at the cost of passing up on more talented players while the guy we have shows no promise whatsoever. This wasnt me saying lawrence=rosen it was me replying to a thread that asked if we should take a qb next year at 1 if we have the first pick again and all i said was that if lawrence plays the same way as he did last year i would absolutely look at replacing him at 1. Ive still not called lawrence a bust or that hes likely to bust, ive said this so many times recently that im sick of saying it. My sole issue with him was the absurd hype surrounding him, he was no better of a prospect than justin herbet or deshaun watson coming out.. i still think he will eventually be a good qb i just dont see the same traits in him that i see in the guys he was being compared to… and my issue with his rookie season was that his downsides that i saw in college seem to get worse with no visible improvement throughout his rookie season.

Shying away from your own words again, huh?

It was 100% you that made the comp

Why would a team draft a #1 pick QB twice in 3 years?

Cardinals took Josh Rosen in the top 10. He sucked. 
Drafted Kyler Murray the following year. He good.

That's why.

Thread title: If the Jags had the number 1 overall pick for the 3rd year in a row would you take a QB to replace lawrence


Question was asked: Why would a team draft a #1 qb twice in 3 years

Example that I used was Josh Rosen being let go quickly after being a top pick, in exchange for another QB. The scenario of the thread basically says "If Trevor is a bust, and we get the #1 pick again would you take a QB or stick with Lawrence who got us back to back #1 picks"

And my answer, was yes i'd probably draft his replacement, similar to the way the Cardinals did with Rosen-Murray. 

If you find this to somehow be a comparision between Rosen and Lawrence as players, you're confused and don't understand english. This was a hypothetical situation, based on if we were to get the #1 pick again this year. Incase it wasn't clear.
