Opinions: will T.Lawrence be a bust?

[unicar15]

I cannot figure out why the Jags aren’t in on this Tyreek deal? Seems like exactly the player they would want and should have a ton of cap.

Would have to give up the #1 pick. I wouldn’t

Too early to tell. He's on a trainwreck team, obviously.

He can always fall back on doing shampoo commercials if it doesn't pan out.

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.

 

He was setup to look bad and did.  Nothing more. 

get some NFL coaching  and NFL talent at WR and I think Trevor will be fine.

So we trade our 6 for him?

Their new coach will get to have HIS pick of current QB's

They are building from the ground up.  Which means you need your draft picks.   You don’t give them away for one player if you are really trying to build.  

Panthers are example of building done wrong.  Wasting building picks in trades and bad ones on top of that

He won't be as good as hyped,but he'll be better with a better coach.

Better coaching/coaches make everything better. 

Bad coaching/coaches puts your feet in concrete and you begin to stagnate rather than develop.

Best thing for him and that team was getting rid of a college coach who should never have been hired in the first place.

Jags had/have a lot of holes in their roster. For 8th straight years, they haven't had one comp pick. Pretty telling how bad their franchise has been for years. 

Damn! It's never as bad as it seems.  Great info.

He’s still got a huge ceiling IMHO. Between Meyer’s CF and having meh WRs, he had an OK rookie season. Will he get a Harrison and Wayne or Burrow’s Chase, Higgins and Boyd? Who knows but they need to get him some weapons now that he’s at least got an NFL level coach.

And O line.  If they are patient, they will be rewarded...can't speed this up too much though.

Also....keeping Baalke....Khan is an idiot.

The bolded applies to here as well.

Probably not this years pick but probably next years which is very likely to be a #1 pick….

Yeah, when your GM is quoted this off season about how they need to stop rebuilding through FA only, you wonder if he realizes he’s saying he sucks at drafting.

Never be amazed at how stupid many of us are....Trent is a piece of work man.

Amazing though that Rhule really wasn’t the worst coach in the NFL last year.

Right, Lawrence's coach was. It still applies tho.

He’s had one year on a team that got the 1st pick two seasons a row. 

This got me thinking.  Has that ever happened before?  I can't recall EVER a team having back to back #1 picks.
