That's great and all, but it's a gamble regardless. If (and im not saying he will) IF he turns out to just be an average QB, giving him that immense amount of money would hamper this franchise for years.

Remember when we all thought Nick foles getting 4yr/84m was insane? Herberts getting 4 years 262.5M. That's a big big investment and only a fool would throw that at someone who hasn't proven themselves yet.

As confident as I am in Lawrence, I was equally as confident in not wanting anything to do with Foles that off season. I knew he was trash and voiced it plenty of times way before and after the signing. I said it would be a terrible decision from the jump and it played out exactly as that.

And I don't know why you keep bringing up Foles and Bortles when talking about Lawrence. Neither of them could even come close to holding Lawrence's jock strap. It's plain as day. They only thing they have in common as far as QB play goes, is that they all played QB and they all were on the Jags. That's it. As far as skill, arm talent, ability etc etc etc goes, Lawrence is in another dimension.
