Trevor Lawrence is not a bust… he’s just not a $252 million quarterback. He isnt what he was hyped up to be. Not even close. Just a middle of the pack quarterback. He is completely getting outplayed by rookie Caleb Williams. Lawrence in season 4 should be improving to a championship game level.


Elway in season 4 made it to Super Bowl XXI
Bradshaw in season 5 won Super Bowl IX (3rd trip to playoffs)
Marino in season 2 dazzled on the way to Super Bowl XIX
Montana in season 3 won XVI
Doug Williams in season 3 had Bucs in NFC Championship
Bernie Kosar in season 3 had Browns in AFC Championship
Mark Sanchez in season 2 had Jets in 2nd straight AFC Chmp
Aikman in season 4 won Super Bowl XXVII

Lawrence now has the Jaguars at 1-5. Sucks teeth and Williams yesterday demonstrated his up and coming arm making all the throws.

Its about improvement and knowing when to reach for heroism and make game winning plays, not just take a check down. If you dont start making these plays Doug Pederson may follow Robert Saleh’s example in coming home from England and being fired.

 

 

Trevor Lawrence Is The Most Overrated Player in the NFL

Now that the Jaguars have started 0-2 its time to take a hard look at Trevor Lawrence. In year 4 his play has been stagnant when this is when he should be ascending to the ranks of best young signal callers with a championships in his sights.

The Browns formidable defense withstanding, Lawrence was 14 of 30 220 yds 0TDs and sacked for a safety. He missed a series of throws in the game and had the look of a rookie. Even on the safety his internal clock should have signaled him to get rid of the football.

The safety put the game out of reach in a defensive struggle where the Jags had only found the endzone once losing 18-13. Had the safety not occurred, the Jags could have tied it with a field goal and gone to overtime. Now at 0-2 Jacksonville has a 9% chance to make the playoffs.

Well… the ink just dried on Lawrence’s $255 million contract signed 2 months ago.Now its time to take a look at a few things when it comes to a #1 overall pick at QB.

John Elway led the Broncos to Super Bowl XXI in year 4.

Troy Aikman won Super Bowl XXVII in year 4.

Steve Young won Super Bowl XXIX in his 4th season as a starter in San Francisco.

Brett Favre won Super Bowl XXXI in his 4th season as a starter in Green Bay.

Of course Steve Young and Brett Favre weren’t #1 overall selections but they further illustrate my point. Lawrence came to the NFL with more press clippings thsn any player in recent years. He did endure a horrible rookie season with Urban Meyer but showed incredible improvement with Coach Pedersonin year 2.

However the training wheels have come off and now the Jags have scored just 17 & 13 in their 1st two games. As for Lawrence:

These woes date back to last season and the Jaguars signed him to his huge contract extension. At this point great quarterbacks and their play are on an ascending arc. It may be early to say the Jags have buyer’s remorse but clearly these arent the expected results. Whether its his play or the Jaguars offensive performance thus far.

Is he the most overrated player in football? The Chancellor of Football says yes.
