Only reason I mention this is because so many people anointed Trevor as elite in this thread. My whole point has been that he has potential but he isn’t there yet. Cautious optimism.

If I offended you then I apologise.

But what annoys me is when we have a bad game or Lawrence doesn't play well how people are just waiting to take a shot at him or write him off, completely ignoring all the good he has done. Lots of people had a bad day yesterday, the Chiefs D did a great job and we didn't execute.

Lawrence is still our guy and is still elite.

Between us, the Chiefs, the Bengals, the Bills and Chargers. We've combined for 3 wins and 7 losses. These are supposed to be the best teams in the AFC this year. With teams like Baltimore and Miami hanging around to round out the back half of the play-off race. 

Every one of these teams in two weeks has at least looked flat or fell short on offense and/or defense. It's okay. At some point the main staples of these respective teams will be back fully healed or things will eventually click and it'll be off to the races as they begin to separate themselves from the pack.

It's too easy to overreact. The Quarterback always gets the blame because he's personally getting the most touches out there offensively. He didn't have his best game yesterday. However, it was far, far from his worst game. The fact that he didn't force anything or cough it up is a good sign to me.

He had a few passes sail on him that he'll wish he had back all week. He had a few plays where the line failed to give him enough time to reach his 2nd and 3rd level reads. He had virtually no help from his running game. Which I feel is more so on the line play and play caller(s) in general. 

It'll get better over the next 15 weeks. Just like it did last year. It's not a matter of if. It's just a matter of when. I would say once they get over this London hump and get that bye week we'll see some serious changes personnel wise if they're barely winning games and the offense continues to struggle with push upfront or time in the pocket for him.
