You're also on record saying that if Trevor had a better offensive line, he'd look a lot better.  So you're blaming other players just as much as other people are.  

So really, if we put everyone on the record, what is Trevor right now, and what will he be in the future, I don't think there'd be that much of an argument.  So I don't know why this particular argument goes on and one and on.  Probably it's "I'm only arguing because he's arguing."  "No, I'm only arguing because he's arguing."

CJ Stroud was never a "generational" talent until he got to the League. Lawrence was crowned as a freshman in college.

CJ is better in every single category in his first year than Trevor is in his third. He's smarter (even with the lowest Wonderlic in his draft class - I bet Trevor's was lower) he's more accurate and he's not an idiot when throwing a 5 yard pass he doesn't put all his throwing force into it. So no drops for INTs. 

Trevor is a HUGE disappointment compared to what all the national pundits claimed he was.

He will never be mentioned in the same breath as the greats.

He will just be a starting QB.

I think Trevor is going to be a great QB.  Get him an offensive line and a running game, and he'll be a lot better.  I do think right now, if I had to bet one would wind up better than the other, I would bet on Stroud.  Stroud is pretty amazing.  But Trevor can still be great, even if he's not as great as Stroud.

Life doesn't move in a straight line.  Remember that.
