I’m a CJ fan and don’t agree with this..

Likewise....

I agree, I’ve been saying it. I liked Lawrence, but CJ is on another level. His kind of accuracy is uncommon. Especially with no other flaws to speak of, just a couple areas that are less than amazing.

Andy Dalton - 2nd round pick

 

Andy Dalton was a productive starter and a multiple time pro bowler. He was a good QB in the mid 2010s, and I'm pretty sure this franchise it's only tie because of him.

Depends on who the coach is. Plenty of college coaches get things like this wrong.

The article makes it sound like someone from Georgia but who knows

Lawrence turned me completely off of him when he expressed his lack of a desire to be great. That football was just a job to him. 

fug that.

Someone needs to do a thread on the rough upbringing of CJ, I mean yall only have til draft time to keep talking about him, then the focus will be back on our own QB.

Yeah that flew under the radar for such an entitled comment to make. There were literally hundreds of QB's busting their ass around the country the same year hoping for that draft pick and he acted like he could take it or leave it. Zach Wilson was another who didn't get prodded at over his leadership/character at all and it seems like everyone on the team and staff in NY can't stand the guy.

Matt Rhule is a "college coach" ... just sayin' ...

I was never super high on Lawrence like everyone else. Count me as someone who has liked Stroud more. 

I honestly wasn't super high on Lawrence either. Don't get me wrong, I thought he was a good prospect and a worthy #1 overall pick but I didn't get the hype about him being the generational type prospect that he was touted to be by most of the media.

He impressed me in the 2nd half against the Chargers in the playoffs this year. After having quite possibly the worst half I've ever seen a QB play in the 1st half (and honestly that's not an exaggeration) he bounced back big time in the 2nd half and led the Jags to (an admittedly undeserved) win. That game showed me the guy is gonna make it.

I only remember him saying football doesn’t define who he is as a person. A completely different thing.

This. You guys read into things what you want, which isn’t out of the normal. 
 

His comment was based on him having confidence in himself as a person outside of football. That if he lost football today, he would be fine because of his faith and knows life has more to offer than just football. I guess people can spin anything negatively… lol

My opinion was from watching the interview in which he actually said what he said.  

No spin. 

I don't base opinions off bullshit. I don't put spin on things. I'm a shoot from the hip, don't sugar coat it.

My main issue is if Cam or Justin Fields said some poo similar to that the media would have killed them pre draft.

CJ is good and has potential but pump the brakes on the Trevor comparison. Scouts and recruiters were looking out for Trevor since the 8th grade.
