But Trevor's not looking right! 

Mahomes looks like [BLEEP] tonight. He didnt play that great against our defense in week two. They'll maybe beat the Jets tonight if Wilson slips up just once.

Allen played like [BLEEP] in week one. Now he's on fire in back to back weeks with the Bills.

Big Bucks Burrow continues to bankrupt the Bengals hopes and dreams. Chase looks defeated already after his post game comments.

Tagovaiola went from basically perfect to terribly off today in Buffalo with multiple picks and a few coverage sacks eaten on his end.

Even the 3 - 1 or undefeated teams have had shaky play. Jackson puts the ball on the ground a ton. Hurts is up and down. Mayfield is up and down. Goff is up and down.

Outside of Purdy, Prescott and Stroud? I can't think of too many squeaky clean QBs this year.

People are just swept up too much in one aspect of this team. It's more complicated than that.

I don't even focus on Lawrence now when the ball is snapped. My eyes are fixated on the interior lineman first, then the outside tackles.

Your absolutely right. All QB's have had a bad game or made a bad mistake that has hurt their team. You definitely see that old saying that D's are ready before O's but O's get better as the season progresses and they make adjustments and find things that work and don't. It's a continual trial and error process.

I do like your last point too. I always find it interesting to see what part of the game people watch and focus on. From when the ball is snapped, you have so much to watch for and I agree with you, I'm more watching our line at the moment as that tells me how successful the play will be and how Trevor will do. When you see someone whiff a block or get beat straight out you know he's scrambling for his life in a second.

I can only hope with time people will finally realise we don't have to be pessimistic about Trevor and that he will suddenly turn into Bortles. The guy is elite, will only get better and as we improve and progress the roster through the years he will be a difference maker for us.
