Which is impressive because he's worked on that midseason and he's corrected a lot of his issues that were causing him to sail passes earlier on this year. What impresses me is his ability to sink low and set his hips into a strong base. 

He's a tall guy. That's not easy to do. He really does look like a Justin Herbert out there but I think he could surpass him next year if they keep adding viable threats at the skill positions and bolstering the protection up front. 

Somebody said it best in the comment section but he's starting to look like a young, MOBILE version of Peyton Manning. That's pretty fair at this point considering his ball placement, ridiculous accuracy and some of the throws he keeps making. It's like watching a pool hustler run the table at will with him at times. 

Hope like hell he does this against Dallas. Defensively they're stout and stacked. They're actually good against the pass so I want to see how Lawrence and Pederson go about attacking and scheming against these guys. When you play against teams like Dallas, Kansas City, etc.

Those are often those games where you're like "Man, we could really use a Justin Jefferson here or a Travis Kelce here". Lawrence has elevated everybody around him this year. There's no denying this. BUT, when you start facing a loaded defense you're going to find out quickly as to whether or not your current skill position players can get it done or not.

His ascension is grossly impressive when you factor in the amount of drops we've had this year.

Some of the off-schedule throws are unbelievable.  The throw to Agnew when he had to escape the pass rush and roll to his left, and he saw the defender's back turned to him, and the throw to Marvin Jones where he was rolling out to his right and threw an absolute dime.  And the long pass where Zay Jones got interfered with- to make that throw while he's moving to his left- that is some unbelievable quarterbacking talent.

I don't expect as much success this week because Dallas has a much better defense than Tennessee.  But he's shown the ability to be the best QB in the league.  I look at the video above and say, how can anyone possibly play QB any better than that?  

Again, I expect a big letdown this week, because that's the way it goes this year.

Something else I noticed about Trevor that has improved within this season...

Remember in his rookie year and earlier in this reason, when Trevor felt pressure in the pocket, he'd almost always circle backwards to the and get away from the pressure? Often as he was circling he was going backwards blindly, and would actually run right into the other pass rusher! It was actually becoming a problem.

Since the London game, he's completely stopped doing that and is actually climbing the pocket or moving laterally away from the pressure.

It's been actually really awesome to watch. That pass to Agnew up the sideline is a prefect example is how his pocket movement has gotten better IN SEASON!!!

Trevor Lawrence has been amazing in his progress this year
