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.....

There's no doubt that he's our "franchise QB" (That was a rhetorical question btw) and hopefully will be for many years to come.  I already said he has all the skills, why do you think I need "convincing"?

He has elite talent, but here's a difference between talent and performance and he has yet to perform at a consistently elite level.  The occasional poor decisions and accuracy issues you mentioned are what's kept him in the good range.  He made great progress last year, and if he continues to improve, he'll get there, but I don't think many outside of Jacksonville would label him "elite" quite yet.
