Lawrence is the best QB I've ever seen for the Jags. We nearly ruined him his rookie year but its not a surprise we've gone from #1 pick 2 years in a row to a playoff contender since we drafted him.

He's young, he's invested in the franchise and fanbase and looks like he'll only get better. I know how good he is and is going to be.

And he's physically tough. One of the most desirable characteristics of a franchise QB.

Your absolutely right. He gets hit an awful lot and will take the hit to give a WR extra time. You see some QB's take a couple of hits and are struggling or start panicking but not with Lawrence. You could see how much he wanted to play on Thursday. That's a leader.

I've also got to say he's mentally strong. With the success he had at high school level and college, you could maybe expect him to struggle when adversity strikes. I remember saying in that rookie year that I was impressed how he just kept going back out there and trying to make the next drive work even with how bad everything around him was.

Then look at the Chargers game in the playoffs. Most QB's would crumbles, most QB's couldn't dig themselves out of that hole but he was damn near perfect 2nd half and was a big reason we came back.
