Opinions: will T.Lawrence be a bust?

I know the Jaguars suck and had Urban Meyer to make it worse. After watching his play for a full season, what do you think. Being the most highly touted QB in his draft class and appeared to have all the intangibles, had a pretty rough season.

Does this prove that a QB drafted #1 is still a crap shoot or will he rebound next season.

Just never know what the future brings in a rookie....no matter drafted first or twenty.

Don't know, but I will say that I was never that big a fan of him.

Not saying that he's bad or anything, but with all the hype that I constantly heard about him I expected a virtual football god.

Then whenever I actually saw him play, I saw good, but I didn't see god.

So is he a bust? Probably not, but I do feel like he's been badly overhyped.

I watched every game he played at Clemson, and while he never produced many "oh my god holy sh-t this guy is insane" moments, he consistently played at an extremely high level and almost always did enough to win. So if you only watch one game expecting to have your socks blown off, you probably won't, but his body of work speaks for itself. Now, let's see what he can do in the NFL with a proper head coach.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
