If he leads a great drive and the RB punches it in - who cares.  It’s still a great outcome.

That’s what I’m looking for. How many successful drives and points does our offense score? That should be the best metric for a qb.

Or you could attempt to analyze football players by watching them play football instead of trying to find the perfect stat to mislead you less than another one. 

My primary issue with the little throng of Lawrence detractors floating about is that most of them fail to see the rare abilities he possesses that make him better than a number of other franchise-level QBs. 

Of course we aren't seeing those gifts fully realized due to :

• no pocket / bad protection
  
• Lawrence's own youth and ongoing development / inconsistency
  

But his talent is there to be seen if you look w/o bias. 
He has put stuff on tape that you only see from the elite guys - he just isn't doing it every week yet. 
It will happen eventually and all of this petty gnashing of teeth about his ranking or categorical classification will look stupid.

We’re just talking here. Of course I have my eye test and of course that contributes to the overall evaluation.

I also know that I don’t watch 16 other games every single week. I watch the jags and maybe one other game.  So you can’t do a proper eye test to everyone, would you agree?

I think a quarterback leads the offense and the offense with the most points scored usually will have a strong qb. Are there exceptions? Absolutely.

But my point is - you can’t be an elite qb if year after year you’re middle of the pack or below average in points per game.

Trevor and this team is scoring points at a good clip and should continue to get better.
