I knew a guy that played in college and was actually on an NFL practice squad for a little while. He said the gap between your average college players and an NFL player is the gap between your average high school players and your average college player.
The college system is so much different than the NFL. The NFL is a salary cap league that favors good ownership and a top notch gm. College is based on recruiting great players and five star college quarterbacks get wooed by coaches who can surround them with four and five star players. The NFL has the best of the best players coming out of college. It seems like great college quarterbacks are a victim of their own success playing for winning high schools and colleges. They get all the hype coming out of school and get drafted high by bad teams. They get pushed into playing before they're ready and it ruins a lot of them. These guys have been winners all of their lives and the NFL is oftentimes their first taste of playing on a losing team. Let's try to put this another way. Trevor never played on a bad team until he got to the professional level. Patrick Mahomes didn't play for a powerhouse high school. He wasn't recruited by a powerhouse college. He played for a team with no NFL caliber talent and the 128th ranked defense. His college defense averaged giving up 42 points a game. Even though Mahomes didn't win a lot of games, he was the only thing that made his team competitive. Coming into the draft Mahomes didn't get too much hype, yet his talent caught the eye of Brett Veach who kept bugging Andy Reid to draft him. The Chiefs already had a solid quarterbacks and they were a playoff caliber team. They had the luxury to be able to let Mahomes sit behind Alex Smith for a year and Alex molded him into an NFL quarterback. Mahomes actually got a chance to play with a good team. I'm not saying it's everything but Mahomes came into the pros from a very mediocre college, was always playing from behind and he's a sick competitor
I don’t think he’s a bad player, but very inconsistent and is definitely not worth the contract. He could probably benefit from a change of scenery tbh.
As a Jags fan who has watched every game of his career...the problem with Trevor is that he does NOT inspire his teammates with belief that we always have a chance....he is very inconsistent...at times very inaccuarate...has bad pocket awareness...and other than that stretch in late 2022 when we all thought he got over the hump - the dude just does NOT come through late in games when we really need it...he is NOT a Clutch 4Q Game Winning qb.

In what way is Trevor Lawrence a better quarterback than Lamar Jackson?
1) Trevor’s skin tone plays apart 2) they’re also saying Trevor has a higher ceiling than Lamar just due to all of Trevor’s accomplishments from a freshmen to college.
@@daywalker6847yeah it’s totally a race thing and there is nothing else at play here. It’s 100% black and white, the writer totally could not have factored in potential ceiling, any stats while taking into account the major disparity in the teams they are playing for and the skill of the players they are surrounded by and countless other considerations. It can only be race. People have different opinions about everything except whether Jackson is better than Lawrence. That is unanimous. That writer is a racist. You don’t have a chip on your shoulder, and I am sure that even though you are not a sports journalist you must know more about football and both players than a professional. What a dirt bag racist.
He’s just an average QB in the NFL I didn’t believe in the hype at all when he played at Clemson. It’s all comes down to work ethic and how bad he wanted to improve year by year. He doesn’t seem interested or love the game since now he got his bag.
Tee worker really hard in some of these clips to get open or turn a small gain into a huge one. I saw several throws that were great college throws that are incompletions or interceptions in NFL. He needs to be more accurate
Dude is averaging 3900 yards, 63.6 cmp %, 20TDs, 12 INTs with 300 rushing yards, 3 rush TDs and an 85.8 rating per season.. is he living up to his Expectations and hype?? No.. but it’s really good considering it’s all on one of the worst teams in the last few years.. not to mention he had the worst HC in nfl history his rookie year..
There's a women a few roads down from me that looks like Trevor Lawrence so much that she probably could be mistaken for his sister 😂 she looks just like him in the face with the long hair 😂
The Jaguars front office would have botched it. Trevor could be on a $0 contract and the front office would still put the worst possible players on defense and O-Line.
As a Carolina fan (both CFB & NFL), I can say that Lawrence is def talented & I’ve been a fan of his game since he played for the Tigers. I can give credit when it’s due & Lawrence def has the potential to win big in the league. The talent & potential is there, they both speak for themselves. Just give him some time & I’m sure he’ll prosper
Trevor is not a 3-10 quarterback he is very good he has been doing some amazing stuff the last few games. The thing that is letting him down really bad is the drops and defense. Trevor lost a TD in bears game cause of Gabe davis, he has had his WRs fail him fumbling the ball multiple times and his defense is letting up 20+ points per game. Trevor made a amazing throw this last game he played which got cut short by a defensive mistake he has some of the worst play calling of any headcoach watch some Jaguars games and see Trevor doing his best to carry the team and having every aspect of his team let him down it's actually depressing how much hate T-Law gets even though he gets destroyed by his team. He wasn't great the first few games but he has cleaned up a lot of fumbles and ints
He said it himself in the SI interview. He doesn't play like he has got a chip on his shoulder. He doesn't play like he has to prove somebody wrong, or he has to do more, or he has to be better. His father says, “He’s not award-driven. He’s not, ‘I want to win a Super Bowl at all costs.’ ” In short, he doesn't need to improve. He doesn't need to win games specially now that he's the 2nd highest paid QB. He is content being mediocre and losing. So yeah, he is overrated. 😂
He hasn't had much help since getting to jacksonville. Weak wr room, bad coaching, horrid oline, etc. Press taylor is a god awful play caller too. Not that lawrence is innocent, but not many qbs would have succeeded in jacksonville. I expect he'll be a good qb though
They picked up Calvin Ridley just let him go if they had him they would do way better like last year now they double teaming Christian Kirk now because he they only big threat and Evan engram went back too his giants days he needs more weapons too get open😌😊
@@qexz1 yeah that true but they been double team Christian Kirk a lot last season they didn't that much I don't why they double team him more this season 😊😌
Trevor isn't as bad as people say, he just hasn't been generational, but the Jags really never gave him a chance to be generational. Weather its having the worst combined staff and roster maybe ever as a rookie entering the NFL, or having the worst D 2 years in a row, or leading the NFL in points lost on drops every single year he's been in the league by an absolute mile every year(and no its not even remotely close). He should have 14 TDs this year, but instead he has 9. And despite everyone saying he cant throw, he grades out as the best deep ball thrower in the NFL 3 years in a row. No he hasn't been a god, but the Jags are gonna Jag and it'll be an absolute miracle if Trevor can overcome that.
It feels the full reason trevor lawrence is failing is because he is not on good teams he has always been with bad teams because of his draft pick he got screwed
The fact that he went to Jacksonville is what has been a slow decline in Trevor Lawrence. Many were concerned that he would possibly struggle due to going to a terrible Jaguars team.
Nothing really happened. He's not a bad QB but he had a great Clemson team and he didn't have to pick up any slack. He's adapting to the NFL just fine.
2021 QB class might be the most disappointing of all time. 1. Lawrence 2. Zach WIlson 3. Trey Lance 11. Justin Fields 15. Mac Jones 3 seasons later, Lawrence is the last man standing - on the verge of collapse
He is good, the problem is he got drafted by the Jags. At Clemson he had a solid team around him and that’s not the case at the Jags, if he goes elsewhere to any other team that actually has a bit of chemistry then he’ll turn into the player he’s been touted to be
I think this is yet another example of the jump being a very real thing. The hype machine can get insane sometimes but we see the hype machine go to work on most QB classes every single year. Inevitably someone comes out of nowhere in the off season to be a first round pick. Where you go is also key to success and performance the jags like many teams have had problems developing QBs
Its their offensive line. The pass protection is not good and no room to run for rbs. Travis Etienne is the bigger problem then lawrence. Hes not making those big plays anymore.
I think it’s his offensive coordinator. They are loaded with talent. I’m a bills fan and when I watched the All-22 of the bills jags game, the offense is so basic it’s sad. The wideouts can’t get schemed open. The line doesn’t block. Its vanilla and elementary. It’s just ugly. You have etienne, bigsby, engram, Kirk, Davis, and that rookie Brian Thomas Jr is clearly the real deal. And Trevor is a good QB. They have one of the best wide receiver coach and one of the best rb coach in the game. But Doug Peterson and press Taylor’s offense is flat. So flat.
its the organization, how many quarterbacks have the jacksonville jaguars gone through in the last few years? I dont even need to search online to know the answer. If he was drafted to a competent organization, like the green bay packers he would succeed. Talent aqcuisition, development, playcalling to their strengths, all play a role in the players production.
He is just another college phenom that can’t replicate their success because the NFL is truly next level. He will have to up his game to be consistently elite at the pro level. Some do, many don’t. Time will tell.
I don’t think Trevor has the mentality of a Baker and especially a Geno.Smith; to sign and be a backup for years to get another chance to be a starter/franchise QB. Once his confidence is gone, he gets benched and isn’t the QB1 anymore, I can’t see that being good for a dude like him.
Growing up I realized some time in the 2010s that number 1 picks are rarely generational talents and rarely even close .In nfl Trevor Lawrence was a great example of this where it felt like they told us he’d be the number 1 pick since he was in high school and it seems like they made sure their media projections would come through. I saw the same thing with Zion Williamson in the nba both extremely over rated and have yet to live up to a 1/4 of the hype. It seems as if the media is deciding who to tell us is good and we should believe it no matter what we see, sad part is all that media support goes blank once they do make it to the leagues.
he’s still a good player with potential to be a top 10 qb but man the jags are a mess… Still disappointed considering he was supposed to be generational and we’ve seen guys come in recently like Daniels and Stroud turn around bad teams quickly.
Jaguars happened. There are a ton of great quarterbacks, particularly with the rule changes that protect them so much. Lawrence is somewhere between the 10th and 20th best quarterback in the NFL- top .001% of the sport. Mahomes, Allen, Hurts, Goff, Burrow, Lamar, Dak, Herbert, Cousins, Mayfield, Love, Rodgers... Young guys are great too. The Jaguars already almost have sufficient quarterback play to win a Superbowl, they need a better overall roster and better coaching.
To be fair. His first head coach was retired and picking up college coed’s after a loss. His current coach first season was good and made it to the AFC Divisional Round of the playoffs. Last season started strong but he got injured and that is when things started to fall apart. This season they are losing close games so something is off.
Lawrence needs a better offensive line to protect him giving time for passing. Also needs a second star running back to take pressure off his passing game. go Jags!
It has a lot to do with the coaching he received at Clemson. He had natural talent but was woefully unprepared for the struggles of playing in the NFL. Expectations far exceeded his ability to deliver and it destroyed him. Too much money, not enough internal grit and not enough experience in overcoming adversity and not enough desire to beat the crap out of the opposing team. He's like scores of exceptional talent in HS and college where they excelled with few adversities and did not develop the gritty killer instinct needed to play in the NFL.
I actually dont think everyone was sure he was a generational talent. Joe Burrow was, Andrew Luck was, but I think a lot of scouts were cautious, even with a national title.
People tend to forget in college you have the top prospects for your respective position playing with you and most games are played against colleges without top talent. Not to downplay it since any of us couldn't do it but we see it time and time again with the college to nfl transition.
I’d like to see a dramatized adaptation of Urban Meyer’s downfall. In particular, to present the contrast in barking orders at college students and what happens when you treat grown-ass men the same way.
Both of those games @ minute mark were both won by the defense, a pick six against Dallas and a strip sack for a TD against the Titans against their backup quarterback.
NFL teams don’t develop quarterbacks anymore. I mean Brock Purday has been successful because he is in a quarterback friendly system with a solid offensive line and running game to protect him. Getting pounded into oblivion by a grown ass man pass rush will change the way you do things and you get blamed. Build the team then get the quarterback
The #1 draft pick typically goes to the team with the worst record from the previous season, but it takes more than a single player to transform a struggling team. That’s why later picks, like Brady and Rodgers, often end up finding greater success-they land in more stable environments where they can develop and thrive.
Sometimes is doesn’t matter how good you are, some NFL teams just seem incapable of providing the right environment, like the Browns, Jets, and even the Titans. The Lions used to be that team, I can see the Jags doing similar soon
IMO I believe that trevor lawrence will be a good qb in the future.. But it’s weird when talking about him. I know that he is known for his bad awareness, overthrowing, and clutch, but there’s so much to go about with this. Pres Taylor has been the main reason our season has been falling apart with these play calling and our O-Line needs a serious rebuild and sometimes his WRs drop very crucial passes.. TLAW I believe had two back to back 4000 yrds season and has the potential to be great.. But he’s just not there yet and I believe with more time and development with the jags, he will be great.
College defenses are a joke compared to the NFL. These guys are wide open in college most of the time and QBs rarely have to fit it in tight windows or make throws under constant pressure
Man nfl fans always talking about how much “help” a qb needs , when in reality , if Yu need that much help then Yu might not be as good as Yu should be . Everytime one of these young qbs gets “help” they dnt win , mahomes and Lamar win help or no help
I don’t think you understand how important coaching and players are. It’s a damn team sport bro and a QB can’t just win a game every time when surrounded by garbage coaches and players... Mahomes and Lamar have literally had the same high tier coaches their ENTIRE career. Not to mention Baltimores elite defense year in and year out.
@@brandonr737 I think you misunderstood how much a QB is suppose to be in charge of, Tom and Peyton had different coaches and they took care of their business. I’m aware of how important the structure of a team is , all I’m saying is he gets as much of the blame if not more as the Gm, Owner, and coach
Lamar only has regular season achievements and has an incredible team and coaching staff. Mahomes has possibly the best coach ever and his team this year might be his worst squad hes ever played with but he's still got a great team around him
Draft picks are never guaranteed, some shine at the next level some don’t … He not a bust, he’s doing some things, just not as good as expected so far, he’s still playing through so time will tell…
Nothing happened to him. He was just overrated. It's not that he was a bad college player, he clearly wasn't but the difficulty in transition to the pro leagues is often underrated and it's incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to determine who will excel in that transition. This is why a guy like Lamar Jackson can go 32nd and be markedly better than all 4 of the QBs selected in front of him. Baker has held up well and Sam Darnold is having a bit of a resurgence but the miss on Lamar is evident. It's even worse when you look at Tom Brady or even Brock Purdy who, while having a down year, is still having a better year as a passer than Patrick Mahomes; that is to say that he's better so far than his draft position would otherwise indicate. College performance is about the best metric you can go on, so it's not like guys are reaching for the likes of Trevor Lawrence or Caleb Williams, but the hype needs to be toned down when it comes to rookies [in all sports]. If Lawrence was picked #1 but the expectations were more balanced he might actually be better. Instead, I feel like he's trying too hard to live up to what were unrealistic expectations and instead of being more measured and allowed to develop he's thrown out there as if he's a veteran coming in to save a franchise.
If you look into Trevor's game he is playing at a high level the amount of throws and quick decisions he makes it incredible. Trevor has really improved in terms of fumbles and INTs. He's not perfect but he plays at a good enough level maybe not worth his contract but worth being a star QB. Trevor gets let down by his team more then any other QB. His WRs have sucked for 4 years BTJ is good but it's hard to rely on one guy. Gabe Davis is selling every offensive drive and T-Law needs to score 20+ points each game cause his defense sucks. Jags are holding T-Law back.
I knew immediately after he said football is not his number one priority, his faith is that he is not going to be a great NFL QB. He might be good but it is a stretch now.
As a Bills fan, who loves Gabe Davis, I got to say: Bad signing. Gabe is NOT worth the money he got. He's a 4th or 5th receiver on a good offense who is best at blocking and offering strength in the vertical game. The guy can't do much of anything on short and intermediate routes, and he has inconsistent hands. Josh made the guy. I do love him. Great team player and he put up that massive game against the Chiefs in the 13-second game, but that's because the Chiefs were focused in on Diggs.
Its a combo of culture, coaches, and who he's surrounded with player wise. I think he's talented, just not in an optimal situation. Look at Sam Darnold. I'm not saying he's the next Brady, but when you are on a team with coaches and players, you can have some success.
How many high school beauty queens rock it into their 30's and the girl next door nobody noticed is smoking in her 50's,, same way with guys, some get all their Glory early while some get their Glory later. 👍 Him and Cam Newton were like giant kids in college, nothing special in NFL
Jags fans are in denial. How can you build a team when you are giving 1 player 50_million dollars and then turn around and say he needs HELP?????? For 50 million a year I would expect you to carry the team if necessary for that kind of money.
He’s one of the greatest high School prospects ever but one of the more overrated college prospects. Everyone thinks he was the “unanimous 1st pick” but if he went out the same year as Burrow I believe Burrow would’ve been the 1st pick and not Tlaw.
i just wanna put it out there that as of week 8 he has better or simalar stats to a bunch of "elite" qbs like a better qbr, completion percentage, less interceptions, same amount of touchdowns, yet yall call him bad, you have obviously never watched him play in your lives, sure his team is awful, but he doesnt control coaching or defence, he has not had an amazing season, but its far from bad, numbers dont lie and trevor lawrence has really solid numbers, maybe not quite highest paid qaurterback numbers, but also not bad numbers

2) they’re also saying Trevor has a higher ceiling than Lamar just due to all of Trevor’s accomplishments from a freshmen to college.
@@daywalker6847yeah it’s totally a race thing and there is nothing else at play here. It’s 100% black and white, the writer totally could not have factored in potential ceiling, any stats while taking into account the major disparity in the teams they are playing for and the skill of the players they are surrounded by and countless other considerations. It can only be race.
People have different opinions about everything except whether Jackson is better than Lawrence. That is unanimous. That writer is a racist. You don’t have a chip on your shoulder, and I am sure that even though you are not a sports journalist you must know more about football and both players than a professional. What a dirt bag racist.
In no way is Trevor better than Lamar unless I guess you count his hair.
@@mbrownie22his hair isn’t better than Lamar’s either😂
You don’t need a great QB to win. The pats won a lot of rings with some dude who was basically an UDFA slinging the rock. Tom something-or-other.
He’s just an average QB in the NFL I didn’t believe in the hype at all when he played at Clemson. It’s all comes down to work ethic and how bad he wanted to improve year by year. He doesn’t seem interested or love the game since now he got his bag.
You sure
Lol you dont know football
@@Sonny2Solidhe probably thought Tim Tebow a Grade A prospect lol
Tee worker really hard in some of these clips to get open or turn a small gain into a huge one. I saw several throws that were great college throws that are incompletions or interceptions in NFL.
He needs to be more accurate
Exactly 😢😢
Nothing happened. He was always overrated and got way more attention than he deserved. Probably because of his hair.
He does have some nice hair
tell us you don't know ball without telling us you don't know ball 😭
Dude is averaging 3900 yards, 63.6 cmp %, 20TDs, 12 INTs with 300 rushing yards, 3 rush TDs and an 85.8 rating per season.. is he living up to his Expectations and hype?? No.. but it’s really good considering it’s all on one of the worst teams in the last few years.. not to mention he had the worst HC in nfl history his rookie year..
AGREED.
There's a women a few roads down from me that looks like Trevor Lawrence so much that she probably could be mistaken for his sister 😂 she looks just like him in the face with the long hair 😂
He’s a good player but not worth $275 million💀They could’ve use some of that money to boost up their O-Line and defense.
The Jaguars front office would have botched it. Trevor could be on a $0 contract and the front office would still put the worst possible players on defense and O-Line.
Yup
Should have given him a baker contract
He has talent, but its clear he hasn't been training well off the pitch, especially with WRs, leading to all those dropped balls.
As a Carolina fan (both CFB & NFL), I can say that Lawrence is def talented & I’ve been a fan of his game since he played for the Tigers. I can give credit when it’s due & Lawrence def has the potential to win big in the league. The talent & potential is there, they both speak for themselves. Just give him some time & I’m sure he’ll prosper
Honestly the right team and coach along with system is crucial to success in football and any sport.
Exactly. Jared Goff is a perfect example of this. Matt Stafford too.
Trevor is something like 3-10 in his last 13 starts....that says ALOT....and it aint like he's been lighting it up in all those losses.
He can play better
@@moalston4203 he SHOULD play better
Trevor is not a 3-10 quarterback he is very good he has been doing some amazing stuff the last few games. The thing that is letting him down really bad is the drops and defense.
Trevor lost a TD in bears game cause of Gabe davis, he has had his WRs fail him fumbling the ball multiple times and his defense is letting up 20+ points per game.
Trevor made a amazing throw this last game he played which got cut short by a defensive mistake he has some of the worst play calling of any headcoach watch some Jaguars games and see Trevor doing his best to carry the team and having every aspect of his team let him down it's actually depressing how much hate T-Law gets even though he gets destroyed by his team. He wasn't great the first few games but he has cleaned up a lot of fumbles and ints
He said it himself in the SI interview. He doesn't play like he has got a chip on his shoulder. He doesn't play like he has to prove somebody wrong, or he has to do more, or he has to be better.
His father says, “He’s not award-driven. He’s not, ‘I want to win a Super Bowl at all costs.’ ”
In short, he doesn't need to improve. He doesn't need to win games specially now that he's the 2nd highest paid QB.
He is content being mediocre and losing. So yeah, he is overrated. 😂
Don’t care he has cool hair 😎
He has zero dog in him.
Extremely overrated
He hasn't had much help since getting to jacksonville. Weak wr room, bad coaching, horrid oline, etc. Press taylor is a god awful play caller too. Not that lawrence is innocent, but not many qbs would have succeeded in jacksonville. I expect he'll be a good qb though
I agree
They picked up Calvin Ridley just let him go if they had him they would do way better like last year now they double teaming Christian Kirk now because he they only big threat and Evan engram went back too his giants days he needs more weapons too get open😌😊
He won't be. He's not gonna ever succeed in the NFL in my opinion
@@brandonrambo5694 brian thomas is better than evan and kirk dawg wdym 😂
@@qexz1 yeah that true but they been double team Christian Kirk a lot last season they didn't that much I don't why they double team him more this season 😊😌
Trevor isn't as bad as people say, he just hasn't been generational, but the Jags really never gave him a chance to be generational. Weather its having the worst combined staff and roster maybe ever as a rookie entering the NFL, or having the worst D 2 years in a row, or leading the NFL in points lost on drops every single year he's been in the league by an absolute mile every year(and no its not even remotely close). He should have 14 TDs this year, but instead he has 9. And despite everyone saying he cant throw, he grades out as the best deep ball thrower in the NFL 3 years in a row.
No he hasn't been a god, but the Jags are gonna Jag and it'll be an absolute miracle if Trevor can overcome that.
Damn. I felt that.
Jags gonna Jag :(
The word is whether, weather is the study of the atmosphere.... Buy a dictionary
found the jags fan
None of those QBs got paid 300 million to be mediocre. They all got cut & came back.
I am usually too lazy to comment. However, I have to commend you. This was well and tastefully done. This was actually worth the time.
He was garbage from the start, but America needed a hero so he was selected.
The same thing that happens when every quarterback gets huge contracts
275mill and that 304 sitting next to him smiling 😂😂😂
It feels the full reason trevor lawrence is failing is because he is not on good teams he has always been with bad teams because of his draft pick he got screwed
The fact that he went to Jacksonville is what has been a slow decline in Trevor Lawrence. Many were concerned that he would possibly struggle due to going to a terrible Jaguars team.
Nothing really happened. He's not a bad QB but he had a great Clemson team and he didn't have to pick up any slack. He's adapting to the NFL just fine.
Lol 😂
2021 QB class might be the most disappointing of all time.
1. Lawrence
2. Zach WIlson
3. Trey Lance
11. Justin Fields
15. Mac Jones
3 seasons later, Lawrence is the last man standing - on the verge of collapse
And his name isn't Lawrence it's sunshine.
“RONNIE BASS!!” 😂
He is good, the problem is he got drafted by the Jags. At Clemson he had a solid team around him and that’s not the case at the Jags, if he goes elsewhere to any other team that actually has a bit of chemistry then he’ll turn into the player he’s been touted to be
I think this is yet another example of the jump being a very real thing. The hype machine can get insane sometimes but we see the hype machine go to work on most QB classes every single year. Inevitably someone comes out of nowhere in the off season to be a first round pick.
Where you go is also key to success and performance the jags like many teams have had problems developing QBs
Its their offensive line. The pass protection is not good and no room to run for rbs. Travis Etienne is the bigger problem then lawrence. Hes not making those big plays anymore.
One word: Jaguars
This is the correct answer
I think it’s his offensive coordinator. They are loaded with talent. I’m a bills fan and when I watched the All-22 of the bills jags game, the offense is so basic it’s sad. The wideouts can’t get schemed open. The line doesn’t block. Its vanilla and elementary. It’s just ugly. You have etienne, bigsby, engram, Kirk, Davis, and that rookie Brian Thomas Jr is clearly the real deal. And Trevor is a good QB. They have one of the best wide receiver coach and one of the best rb coach in the game. But Doug Peterson and press Taylor’s offense is flat. So flat.
He looks like sunshine💀
its the organization, how many quarterbacks have the jacksonville jaguars gone through in the last few years? I dont even need to search online to know the answer. If he was drafted to a competent organization, like the green bay packers he would succeed. Talent aqcuisition, development, playcalling to their strengths, all play a role in the players production.
He is just another college phenom that can’t replicate their success because the NFL is truly next level. He will have to up his game to be consistently elite at the pro level. Some do, many don’t. Time will tell.
I don’t think Trevor has the mentality of a Baker and especially a Geno.Smith; to sign and be a backup for years to get another chance to be a starter/franchise QB.
Once his confidence is gone, he gets benched and isn’t the QB1 anymore, I can’t see that being good for a dude like him.
Growing up I realized some time in the 2010s that number 1 picks are rarely generational talents and rarely even close .In nfl Trevor Lawrence was a great example of this where it felt like they told us he’d be the number 1 pick since he was in high school and it seems like they made sure their media projections would come through. I saw the same thing with Zion Williamson in the nba both extremely over rated and have yet to live up to a 1/4 of the hype. It seems as if the media is deciding who to tell us is good and we should believe it no matter what we see, sad part is all that media support goes blank once they do make it to the leagues.
he’s still a good player with potential to be a top 10 qb but man the jags are a mess… Still disappointed considering he was supposed to be generational and we’ve seen guys come in recently like Daniels and Stroud turn around bad teams quickly.
He needs to be with a new team that matches with his attributes.
Jaguars happened.
There are a ton of great quarterbacks, particularly with the rule changes that protect them so much. Lawrence is somewhere between the 10th and 20th best quarterback in the NFL- top .001% of the sport. Mahomes, Allen, Hurts, Goff, Burrow, Lamar, Dak, Herbert, Cousins, Mayfield, Love, Rodgers... Young guys are great too. The Jaguars already almost have sufficient quarterback play to win a Superbowl, they need a better overall roster and better coaching.
To be fair. His first head coach was retired and picking up college coed’s after a loss. His current coach first season was good and made it to the AFC Divisional Round of the playoffs. Last season started strong but he got injured and that is when things started to fall apart. This season they are losing close games so something is off.
Lawrence needs a better offensive line to protect him giving time for passing. Also needs a second star running back to take pressure off his passing game. go Jags!
Give him more time. There's flashes there and if they can get a healthy RB core. I think that pays dividends as well
Great video, mate! Subscribed!
It has a lot to do with the coaching he received at Clemson. He had natural talent but was woefully unprepared for the struggles of playing in the NFL. Expectations far exceeded his ability to deliver and it destroyed him. Too much money, not enough internal grit and not enough experience in overcoming adversity and not enough desire to beat the crap out of the opposing team. He's like scores of exceptional talent in HS and college where they excelled with few adversities and did not develop the gritty killer instinct needed to play in the NFL.
In Jacksonville, being Tony Khans friend is more important than playing well.
💩
@@DudeLoopNoob 🦿
Surely and kiss his old ass yup
So he runs the Jags like he does his pro wrestling company?
I actually dont think everyone was sure he was a generational talent. Joe Burrow was, Andrew Luck was, but I think a lot of scouts were cautious, even with a national title.
It’s actually pretty simple. He went to a dogshit of an organization. The Jags are terrible.
People tend to forget in college you have the top prospects for your respective position playing with you and most games are played against colleges without top talent. Not to downplay it since any of us couldn't do it but we see it time and time again with the college to nfl transition.
Just a tip, on your 'room tone audio' don't use a sample with a whistle. So many whistles in the middle of plays.
I’d like to see a dramatized adaptation of Urban Meyer’s downfall. In particular, to present the contrast in barking orders at college students and what happens when you treat grown-ass men the same way.
Both of those games @ minute mark were both won by the defense, a pick six against Dallas and a strip sack for a TD against the Titans against their backup quarterback.
I recall him saying that he really doesn't like football. He's probably getting tired of it, but what do I know!
After being a Clemson fan and seeing Watson , and Lawrence dominate all out of college, it hurt seeing them play bad like this in the NFL
Watson should be in jail and is trash..Lawrence is a good dude in a bad system.
You wanna know the honest to god, truth. He got drafted by the jacksonville jaguars.
1 of many organizations when you go there, your career dies.
Every time I see his picture I hear the song “Mmm Bop” in my head. He could be the lost Hanson brother.
hahaha wow, pretty funny..and definitely could be in that bunch looks wise
NFL teams don’t develop quarterbacks anymore. I mean Brock Purday has been successful because he is in a quarterback friendly system with a solid offensive line and running game to protect him.
Getting pounded into oblivion by a grown ass man pass rush will change the way you do things and you get blamed. Build the team then get the quarterback
Nahh brock purdy is way more talented.
@@sharull6074no he's not Kyle system literally makes him look good and they still suck this season
Actually insane that this guy is from my town (Cartersville, GA) and I met him back in 2016.
The #1 draft pick typically goes to the team with the worst record from the previous season, but it takes more than a single player to transform a struggling team. That’s why later picks, like Brady and Rodgers, often end up finding greater success-they land in more stable environments where they can develop and thrive.
He was a pretty boy and when he got to the NFL=No Fun League he got exposed
W video
🙏
Got paid big contract! Next is Dak.
I find it funny that every one hailed him as the greatest prospect ever, but no one wants to say anything about him being garbage.
His ceiling was always average NFL quaterback.
You should do what if videos
Sometimes is doesn’t matter how good you are, some NFL teams just seem incapable of providing the right environment, like the Browns, Jets, and even the Titans. The Lions used to be that team, I can see the Jags doing similar soon
He was “thrust” into the varsity role, thrusted is an old variant rarely used.
Didn't like him at Clemson and he has just proved my point in the NFL!!
He lit college up and I'm not a Clemson fan..you may not like him personally..but his record speaks for itself
T-Law will be fine. Super banged up this year. He is still an elite QB. Just needs some weapons.
The media always overhypes the draft prospects, at the end of the day, the draft is still somewhat a roll of the dice
He was picked by Jacksonville, only way he could possibly have been worse for him would have to been picked by Cleveland.
We have GOATS and generational talents coming out of college every year. Sometimes they aren't busts.
He never recovered from Gardner Minshew's departure. They were inseparable training partners, hair aficionados, and video game bros.
IMO I believe that trevor lawrence will be a good qb in the future.. But it’s weird when talking about him. I know that he is known for his bad awareness, overthrowing, and clutch, but there’s so much to go about with this. Pres Taylor has been the main reason our season has been falling apart with these play calling and our O-Line needs a serious rebuild and sometimes his WRs drop very crucial passes.. TLAW I believe had two back to back 4000 yrds season and has the potential to be great.. But he’s just not there yet and I believe with more time and development with the jags, he will be great.
Jags haven’t been Super Bowl contenders since they had bortles, fourtnette, and j Ramsey. And that was one good run. Hope the kid figures it out.
College defenses are a joke compared to the NFL. These guys are wide open in college most of the time and QBs rarely have to fit it in tight windows or make throws under constant pressure
Especially in the acc.
Man nfl fans always talking about how much “help” a qb needs , when in reality , if Yu need that much help then Yu might not be as good as Yu should be . Everytime one of these young qbs gets “help” they dnt win , mahomes and Lamar win help or no help
I don’t think you understand how important coaching and players are. It’s a damn team sport bro and a QB can’t just win a game every time when surrounded by garbage coaches and players... Mahomes and Lamar have literally had the same high tier coaches their ENTIRE career. Not to mention Baltimores elite defense year in and year out.
@@brandonr737 yet the QB gets all the credit even when they're mid.
@@brandonr737 I think you misunderstood how much a QB is suppose to be in charge of, Tom and Peyton had different coaches and they took care of their business. I’m aware of how important the structure of a team is , all I’m saying is he gets as much of the blame if not more as the Gm, Owner, and coach
Lamar has won nothing, Mahomes has Kelce as Montana had Rice, Manning Sharp, Brady Gronk.
Lamar only has regular season achievements and has an incredible team and coaching staff.
Mahomes has possibly the best coach ever and his team this year might be his worst squad hes ever played with but he's still got a great team around him
Draft picks are never guaranteed, some shine at the next level some don’t … He not a bust, he’s doing some things, just not as good as expected so far, he’s still playing through so time will tell…
Nothing happened to him. He was just overrated. It's not that he was a bad college player, he clearly wasn't but the difficulty in transition to the pro leagues is often underrated and it's incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to determine who will excel in that transition. This is why a guy like Lamar Jackson can go 32nd and be markedly better than all 4 of the QBs selected in front of him. Baker has held up well and Sam Darnold is having a bit of a resurgence but the miss on Lamar is evident. It's even worse when you look at Tom Brady or even Brock Purdy who, while having a down year, is still having a better year as a passer than Patrick Mahomes; that is to say that he's better so far than his draft position would otherwise indicate.
College performance is about the best metric you can go on, so it's not like guys are reaching for the likes of Trevor Lawrence or Caleb Williams, but the hype needs to be toned down when it comes to rookies [in all sports]. If Lawrence was picked #1 but the expectations were more balanced he might actually be better. Instead, I feel like he's trying too hard to live up to what were unrealistic expectations and instead of being more measured and allowed to develop he's thrown out there as if he's a veteran coming in to save a franchise.
“Prestigious Clemson University” 😂
If you look into Trevor's game he is playing at a high level the amount of throws and quick decisions he makes it incredible. Trevor has really improved in terms of fumbles and INTs. He's not perfect but he plays at a good enough level maybe not worth his contract but worth being a star QB.
Trevor gets let down by his team more then any other QB. His WRs have sucked for 4 years BTJ is good but it's hard to rely on one guy. Gabe Davis is selling every offensive drive and T-Law needs to score 20+ points each game cause his defense sucks.
Jags are holding T-Law back.
Lol 😂
I knew immediately after he said football is not his number one priority, his faith is that he is not going to be a great NFL QB. He might be good but it is a stretch now.
As a Bills fan, who loves Gabe Davis, I got to say: Bad signing. Gabe is NOT worth the money he got. He's a 4th or 5th receiver on a good offense who is best at blocking and offering strength in the vertical game. The guy can't do much of anything on short and intermediate routes, and he has inconsistent hands. Josh made the guy. I do love him. Great team player and he put up that massive game against the Chiefs in the 13-second game, but that's because the Chiefs were focused in on Diggs.
Playing in College isn’t the same thing as playing in the NFL.
The big dogs and the most talented players play in the pros.
Its a combo of culture, coaches, and who he's surrounded with player wise. I think he's talented, just not in an optimal situation. Look at Sam Darnold. I'm not saying he's the next Brady, but when you are on a team with coaches and players, you can have some success.
It´s simple, Trevot Lawrence is a Bust.
A lot of quarterbacks stop striving to better themselves once they land that first multimillion deal.
Trevor’s career so far
1) bad rookie year under Urban Meyer
2) good second year
3) good year 3 until succumbing to injuries.
4) playing good in year 4
seriously this guy saying Trevor playing horrible this year is wild.
@@DevinVee For real trevor is doing good this year but it's hard to have to win every game by 20+ points because your defense can't stop a damn fly
HHAHAHAHAHA 2-7 AND HE'S PLAYING GOOD HAHAHAHAHAHA. Trevor Lawrence is fucking trash and he's always been trash
@DevinVee yeah, 2-7 is terrible bro
@@derfvcderfvc7317 then does that mean Joe Burrow is playing terrible cause he is 4-6
How many high school beauty queens rock it into their 30's and the girl next door nobody noticed is smoking in her 50's,, same way with guys, some get all their Glory early while some get their Glory later. 👍 Him and Cam Newton were like giant kids in college, nothing special in NFL
Jags fans are in denial. How can you build a team when you are giving 1 player 50_million dollars and then turn around and say he needs HELP??????
For 50 million a year I would expect you to carry the team if necessary for that kind of money.
Here is me hoping that I don't see this video for Caleb Williams in 4 years, although, the Bears is where young QBs go to die.
Gosh , when are people gonna learn ? College football performances are largely MEANINGLESS for predicting NFL careers.
Im not sure the Bengals would have picked him over Joe Burrow after that INSANE season at LSU
Fw the vid bro jus subscribed 🔥
Thanks Devin!
He’s one of the greatest high
School prospects ever but one of the more overrated college prospects.
Everyone thinks he was the “unanimous 1st pick” but if he went out the same year as Burrow I believe Burrow would’ve been the 1st pick and not Tlaw.
I think it’s about the coaching staff. So if Jacksonville wants to trade Trevor to the cowboys for Dak I’d take that in a heartbeat
i just wanna put it out there that as of week 8 he has better or simalar stats to a bunch of "elite" qbs like a better qbr, completion percentage, less interceptions, same amount of touchdowns, yet yall call him bad, you have obviously never watched him play in your lives, sure his team is awful, but he doesnt control coaching or defence, he has not had an amazing season, but its far from bad, numbers dont lie and trevor lawrence has really solid numbers, maybe not quite highest paid qaurterback numbers, but also not bad numbers
Idk how people can compare him to qbs like burrow who has two of the best wide receivers in the league
