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.

The simplest definition of franchise QB, to me, is that most NFL teams would trade their QB for him without hesitation.

Is the without hesitation part that's critical. If most GMs have to be talked into making the move then a team doesn't really have a franchise QB.

Elite is another level, Trevor's in the conversation for elite, now. If he picks up where he left off in the last half of 2022 this year statistically (30+ TD, single digit interceptions) and lifts the team to more wins they don't seem like they should get (Ravens, raiders, cowboys, and chargers playoffs are examples of the kind of win I'm talking about) then there will be broad recognition of being elite by the end of this season.
