Trevor could flourish in the right system. Heck, he was doing okay the first couple weeks of the season until his best receiver got hurt.
Just imagine him in the 49ers offense, where he basically is just a game-manager with 3 really good weapons, a running scheme that almost any RB can excel in and a top-10 defense . . . he'd probably be better than Jimmy, just from his better arm and running ability.

Yeah, it's a cool video. There's some plays in there where you'd think you were actually watching the Chiefs. You can see NFL Patrick for sure. But you can also see some of the concepts Mahomes brought with him from college, concepts that have been incorporated into Reid's offense.

I think the development curve of QB's in the NFL has been distorted a bit by fans due to the early success of Mahomes, Lamar, Herbert, Burrow etc. Josh Allen for example looked pretty ordinary until his third season, we are seeing an emergence from Jalen Hurts as well in his third season.
I'm not ready to throw in the towel on Lawrence yet. The Urban Meyer saga didn't help the development of Lawrence, absolute fail by Jags ownership making that decision. Lawrence has to cut down on some mistakes, he's had some extremely bad redzone interceptions that just can't happen. I think with a little bit more seasoning and improving the supporting cast a bit more that Lawrence will be just fine. Maybe not as high as a ceiling as many predicted coming out of college but I still think he can be a top 8 QB in the NFL. |

Only Herbert really hit the ground running and had a stellar rookie season. The other guys all needed a year to develop. Starting a rookie at QB is almost like burning a season. The problem is that Lawrence is now in his 2nd year and doesn't look dramatically improved from last year. He's being compared to those guys and he should be because he's just like them coming out. |

Some semantics, but fields actually didn’t choke. Chris Olave cut off his route on the final INT of that game.

Worse than David Carr, Tim Couch, and Jamarcus Russell. Damn.

My main point is that since we've had such an influx of QB's who have had success very early on in their careers, I think NFL fans are way too impatient with the development of QB's. Especially in Lawrence's case where he couldn't have had a worse situation in his rookie season with the head coach and surrounding cast issues, I really think year 3 for Lawrence will be the true litmus test if Lawrence is the answer long term for Jacksonville. Mahomes, Burrow, Herbert all had excellent supporting casts and surrounded their franchise QB with legitimate weapons. Hurts/Allen are perfect examples, first two years they had less than to be desired weapons, Hurts now has AJ Brown and is enjoying success. Allen went nuclear after the Bills traded for Diggs. Jacksonville has to find a way to give Lawrence an alpha receiver. |

I wonder if the talent disparity has something to do with it. When you dominate your opponents because the talent around you is so much better than theirs then there is little incentive to improve or learn fundamentals.

No, we’ve seen lots of them that can’t.

Ridley to the jags for a 2nd and 5th.
Damn, that's a real good move. I love this move just as much as the bears trading for claypool for similar yet very different reasons |
