But at this point, I am throwing caution to the wind.  I've seen enough of a trend to say, Trevor is going to be a top-5 QB at minimum.  There were so many elite-level throws and plays and leadership in the last half of last season, this is not Blake Bortles out there.  This is the real Trevor Lawrence.

45 pages in and can anyone define "Franchise QB"?  The Jaguars are a franchise and Trevor is our QB, does that, by definition make him a "Franchise QB"?

Have we seen elite-level throws?  Yes.  Have we also seen occasional Bortles-esque decisions he needs to eliminate?  Yes.

Based on his play to date, he's good, but absolutely not elite yet.  He has all the physical skills to get there, and the coaching is in place.  I think he's smart enough and dedicated enough to correct the mental mistakes.  Hopefully, this is the year he crosses the threshold.

I have yet to see any Bortles esque anything from Trevor.
Has he made some poor decisions and have some accuracy issues? Sure but lots of young QBs do....

If you still need convincing on Trevor Lawrence, I'm not really sure what to say.
He IS a franchise QB. He has elite talent. 
Not many QBs are labeled "elite" after year 2 so.....
