And no, most cfb QB’s deal with more pressure and adversity with less talent than he did last year. This isn’t even debatable.
Look at Mahomes vs. LSU. That game told me more about Mahomes than any of the rest. It was by far his most impressive despite it being a blowout loss and not his best game statistically by any means.
I was fully on board with him despite not seeing that game until after we drafted him. I didn’t watch any of his sophomore tape so I had no idea it existed. If I watched it before the draft, I would’ve been pounding the table that much harder.

I know you know he's good, I just think you're asking way too much from a can't miss qb prospect. Luck and Eli didn't have a ton of pressure games. Luck didn't play in a loaded pac 10. College doesn't allow you to mold a perfect qb. The reason Eli and luck became can't miss is because regardless of w/l record or strength of schedule, you could barely find mental or physical holes in their game. The fact that we're debating experience and situation and not his actual play speaks volumes.
By the way, eli was arguably not even the best qb in his class. That doesn't matter. He was rightfully the can't miss prospect of his draft and even if Lawrence doesn't meet your pressure criteria, assuming he doesn't regress too much he'll be can't miss too. The same way we all rightfully slapped that label on Andrew luck very early in his college career.
