Well, no. But does he have any physical traits that are below average? He has prototypical skills. Right now his biggest issue is between the ears especially in the red zone. But yeah in the pros he’s going to need to develop that quite a bit instead of relying on his supporting talent and leaky college defenses.
It’s just hard to really know what you have right now. Josh Allen was babied along in his early years and joe burrow was surrounded by elite talent. He’s really spent the whole offseason un****ing himself from coaching and then this season learning a very difficult offense. In a league where defenses have gotten way better and you’re not just going to have average rookies shredding the league anymore. Even vets like carr and Russell and rodgers are having tough years. Mecca is right in many ways that we’re watching guys like Lawrence and fields get thrown completely to the wolves.
I think we’ve gotten past thinking he’s a generational talent but if Trevor wasn’t such a disaster in the red zone he actually would be having a fairly normal sophomore season. He’s got a really really long way to go but I think there’s plenty good shot he turns into a very good qb.
