At this point I think Lawrence is a better prospect than those two were at the same point in their collegiate career. Long way to go though |

It reminds me of luck in college. He had an NFL oline. Not a terribly difficult conference. But we just saw him mentally process the game like an actual NFL qb. There's no guarantee he stays this good. But he's clearly stood out as something special in a decade where that doesn't happen much for a college qb |

I agree that Lawrence is a better prospect. I literally called him a “great” one. I don’t know why simply saying it’s tough to gauge just how good a guy that’s played one year on the best team in college football really is means I’m being unreasonable. |

One of the biggest deal breakers for me when evaluating a QB is how they do under pressure and facing adversity.
Until we actually see him under pressure and facing adversity, it’s hard to tell how great he is. |

"His sophomore year to his senior year, Lawrence led the Purple Hurricanes to 41 straight victories, winning two state championships and four region titles." He starts, mid-season, as a freshmen, in a big-time college program. He sets the record for TDs by a freshman in only 11 games. 30 TDs vs. 4 INTs. Wins national title... He's about as close to a "sure thing" as you are going to get....he's making some NFL-level throws already. Probably the best prospect since Luck (2011)...so when he's drafted, in a decade. That's generational...of course he can flop....but I dont see it. I would still rather have Mahomes...he's a much more entertaining QB to watch....but that wasn't the point of the thread. If KC didnt have PM...I would be begging them to tank for Lawrence. Last edited by BlackOp; 06-06-2019 at 10:11 AM.. |

[QUOTE=Bowser;14296407]I've never seen that before. Amazing. That's shades of the left handed Bronco game from last year.
Me either that was freaking AWESOME |

You realize you're walking into the same exact argument people have used to rip down mahomes, right? Goff and mahomes both are surrounded by talent. It isn't hard to see the major difference in how they're winning. And anyone who's actually seen mahomes play knows it's not just about his supporting cast. Sure, we gotta see how he does in pressure situations, but he was also dominant on the biggest stage possible. There's always something with college qbs. Too easy, too difficult, too much talent, couldn't carry a bad offense, couldn't carry a bad defense.... At some point you have to trust your eyes. Without a doubt assuming no severe regression he's the best qb prospect since Andrew luck (prospect... Based on what we saw out of college...)

Have we seen Lawrence under consistent pressure and facing adversity? No. I’ve already said he was a great QB prospect. I don’t understand why this is so hard for some of you to get. Last edited by staylor26; 06-06-2019 at 10:29 AM.. |

He's as good of a prospect as any but he's proven nothing. Watson did the same shit at Clemson and he's not a generational talent.
