You need to start wondering what you'd give up to get Lawrence

Maybe not, I just think at some point your QB has to make a play and I guess I saw a guy who was more than willing to look short to maybe avoid the chance of a sack. Last year we were somewhere in the top 5 of 50 yard plus and we added Anderson. He took one to the house but it wasn’t a Cam to Ginn 2015 bomb, it was YAC. We’ve got three deep threats, it would be nice to use them.

I just see Teddy as an Alex Smith and KC couldn’t win in the playoffs until they got their top 10 pick Mahomes. It didn’t work out as well for SF and Kaep, but both places realized Smith could only go so far and SF and KC did have quality teams around Smith. They both went to SBs after letting him go.

Teddy doesn’t have the arm for the deep shots. Every deep pass he throws the receiver has to slow down for it and all but maybe one or two have been ducks.  Luckily Moore and Anderson can get good separation and are able to provide a cushion for when they have to slow down or veer left or right to chase the ball, but Teddy just doesn’t have it in him to drive the ball down field.  He’s going to have to stick to the 10yd and under passes and rely on the receivers’ yac.  And in order to do this he’s going to have to get better with his pass placement. Today there were a few crossing routes he actually placed well, so that was a huge improvement.

Didn't Tannehill play WR most of his college career?

First two years mainly at WR and last two mainly at QB. He was pretty good running the ball as a QB so I think he was just a solid athlete. Not sure who was the QB at A&M his first two years.

he moved to south carolina for college

natural progression puts him in north

Maybe David Tepper puts on the brass ones and tells Rhule to make it happen. We would need a high pick to give in exchange along with the others you mentioned and a team that is not in the market for a qb in order to assist in that northern progression. I doubt it happens without one of the #2-#4 picks.

Trading for the 1st pick will set this franchise back to the stone age.

I don't have a problem with trading up for a franchise quarterback.

With that said, I know the vast majority here thinks that Trevor Lawrence is going to be a football god. I'm just not convinced he's going to be as great a pro quarterback as he is in college..

Short Bus Rider of the Week was totally going to Smithers for his dumb takes on number 1 pick quarterbacks but low and behold on page 15 a rookie crept out of the wood works.

@TrevorLaurenceTime 22 you are this weeks winner of the Short Bus Rider of the Week award with this little gem.

To be fair Rodgers isn't much more than a game manager at this point either both one hit wonder SB champs.

3-0.  900 yds.  9TD's  0 ints.

No need for a rebuttal. This Budlight is for you my Basement keyboard NFL warrior!

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
